Forums - Sony - Fuzzmosis Reviews: Heavenly Sword

I put in the Disc at 11:53pm, with the game never being run on the ps3 before. At 5:06am, the credits were running.


$60 for 5 hours and 13 minutes of gameplay. That's like paying $1 for every 5 minutes of entertainment.

A bunch of 120 minute movies for $15 is a better value...

I hope it was a rental or a borrowed copy.

There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

Dallinor: Probably more useful to skip the text boxes. I always figured there would be something, but frustration grew more or less. Also, somewhat random. Why not: Press any button, press this button, press start?

And realistically, I never said aiming arrows with the sixxaxis was bad. I picked it up eventually, but I said it was slow as hell. That bothered me, and I'm quite glad some people enjoyed it though, just because I found it less enjoyable that other portions of the game doesn't make it something intended to not be fun. Hats versus shields? Meh. I could swear I mentioned it's beautiful...

And I suppose you're right, I did fail to mention why the first 2 hours were really really fun, and that did have to do with the smooth enjoyable combat. Other things simply began to wear that down, like Kai and other problems.

Munken:, maybe you didn't see frame rate drops, but I'm gong to go out on a limb here and say they exist, mainly because I saw them. Damn Leprechauns. Also, I beat Rohan without using a single shield breaker combo (Got annoyed at bosses having a counter-attack of their own, and some combos you don't stop very well).

Forgive me however, after a nice nap (Hey, Remember what time I played till), I recalled one of the most random little "WTFs" in the game: Switches.

To open a switch, begin mashing X. To stop spinning a switch because an enemy is nearby, you... well, you wait, for all that work you've done to undo yourself, or until someone hits you. Say if you're playing a Kai level which involves snipping enemies running at you. There is a point where you need to open switches. Well, if you're opening the gate, but want to stop because you just realized that the enemies breach the gate just before it, and Kai can only fight ranged, then you... umm, wait for all your work to be undone.

Also, if you're going to have a Camera flaw (Uncontrollable camera, but it works. There are some weird corner looks that I saw in the tutorial then used... 3 times in the game), may as well have it during the switches. First time you open it, it always looks where you'd want it to. If you screw up, 2nd, third, fourth, and times afterward, it looks at whatever the hell it wants. Most likely a wall. The Camera does revert back to the normal view afterwards.



See Ya George.

"He did not die - He passed Away"

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

Heavenly sword was good, I usually play chapter 2 and chapter 5. Never chapter 6 since the boss fight sucks. Nor the kai levels.

Is it worth it as a rental or would the time be better spent playing Super Mario Bros 3?

fkusumot: Worth a rental. Why? You may enjoy the Kai gameplay portion. If you do, then the game is around an 8/10, thus very enjoyable. If the idea of guiding several hundred arrows with the sixxaxis to various soldier body parts is unappealing, I'd still say rent it, but be prepared for some arduous and boring segments, peppered with really fun ones, peppered with some perplexing issues that you may not find as bothersome. If you pay 6 bucks to rent a movie, you can pay 6 bucks to rent a ps3 game and give it a go, but I assure you, it won't leave you breathless. Unless you try and eat the disc or something.



See Ya George.

You play the game with sound on 2 and you wonder why it sucks, the sound makes or breaks a game, and you set it up to fail. I have yet to play this game as it is always rented out at blockbuster the same as lair and all the other PS3 games. Maybe if you played it on a HDTV with 5.1 sound you would like the game more. I have played both Demo's of the game and it is great 10/10.

 You have played the Demos and claim the game is 10/10, then criticise somebody who has played the entire game for the way they tested it when they actually had very few complaints about the sound? o.O

Maybe you should play the actual game right through before you come out with stuff like that.

Heres where you go wrong; You assume an HDTV and 5.1 sound is going to fix his problems with the boring gameplay.

Sound makes or breaks a music CD.

If sound is what makes or breaks a game you've got a serious problem.

Gameplay is what makes or breaks any game.
