I agree with sieanr on this one.

The word "tirade" is singular. For example, sieanr's single post could be considered a tirade (though an abnormally short one). If sieanr made one long rant against the ps3, it would be considered a tirade, however, you were referring to his many posts that are anti-ps3, which would be multiple tirades, though even then, most of them would not be considered tirades in the traditional sense, as a tirade is usually rather lengthy, synonymous to a rant, rather than a single statement.

Crusade, however, would've fit perfectly with what you were trying to say, so I can understand sieanr's choice to substitute it with tirade. Sieanr could be said to be crusading against the ps3, his crusade consisting primarily of tirades against the ps3.

Haha very well said makingmusic, I agree I overlooked the case that it is singular.

However, tirade can still be used to simply mean 'abuse' which is undeniably acceptable.

Fuzz, I'm surprised you didn't like the AfterTouch segments of the game. I thought they were great and offered what was the only original gameplay element to Heavenly Sword. The Kai levels were easily my favorite, even though they were too easy.

I gave it a higher rating than you (an 8/10), but I can definitely see why you gave it that rating if you didn't care for AfterTouch. Other than that, the only other part of the game that stood out was the voice acting by Andy Serkis, and a game can't hold its own based solely on cutscenes.

No, aftertouch was fun. A bit frustrating when you fly 4 arrows over the same soldiers head because he suddenly goes into ducking animation, and I didn't find the constant headshots as satisfying as others, but it worked.

What I hated was the pacing. Kai was slow. Nariko was fast. I like fast. I didn't like slow, particularily that large a drop in speed. Cutting up 300 soldiers with weapons rather than crappy gun? Awesome. I openly admitted I may be in the minority there, but it just didn't groove. Like when Kai is protecting "that man" or was riding the Cart. That took wayyyyy too long for what it was in my opinion.

I often play some games muted and better music on from a CD player, my friend did the same with his N64 and PS1, using his N64 for games, and the PS1 for CDs (he did occasionally play frogger (?) on the PS1 but usually used it for CDs.

I personally would give the game somewhere between an 8 to 9 out of 10. I liked most everything about it: solid and unique (not revolutionary, but still something different) gameplay, fantastic sound and voice acting, good story (which goes along with the voice acting), and obviously amazing visuals. The game was a bit short and had a lack of extras (mostly just concept art and such), but it is also a game that makes me want to play it all over again sometimes leading too more than one play through. The Kai missions did get a little repetitive, but overall I think they were still fun.
