dam... uk gave it a 7.0... this is terrible...I was expecting at the lowest an 8.5, wow... then microsoft was smart pushing this game away..7.0 for me to waste on a game 60buks would be a waste of money. Dam and I really wanted that game.

 

then:

The only reviews I trust is ign itself, and gametrailers.

 

later:

Im not a random sony "fanboy", Like I said I only trust gametrailers

----

 

now:

so wats your point? Im stil getting it anyway.... Wait till gametrailers reviews it.

 

and:

No, gametrailers is most reliable, ign, gamespot, or watever other site you want to talk about is biased. I only trust gametrailers but thats just my opinion. 7.0 isnt mediocore kid its descent, medio core is 6.9 or below.

----


Why not just be honest and say that no matter how lousy the reviews are, you're going to buy this game?

At least that would be consistent.

And we understand: it's not like the PS3 has other games coming out that are getting much better reviews than Heavenly Sword. So it's a choice between HS, some other mediocre game (Lair), or no game at all.

 


"Damn!"

I listen to reviewers, but I disregard their individual opinions. I just glean whatever facts I can from the review about the game itself. I remember I used to only read PSM because I already had all the good gamecube games, and they reviewed Shinobi with like a six or a seven, but that game was damn fun, I'd have totally given it an eight, slightly higher if the game had been nice enough to include checkpoints ONCE in a while. And I always thought a button masher was a game where you could just mash buttons randomly and actually win. I tried that with Heavenly Sword, and the only time I did was the only time I ever died. The enemies block all the time, you have to hit them while they're attacking or counter them. Also if you button mash you only get like two combos, and you have to switch styles all the time, so you can't transition properly unless you know how the combos work.
