Forums - Sony - Vgchartz ranking game--Heavenly Sword!

Oh, Heavenly Sword.....
I remember when I saw this game on "Heroes". I had such high hopes.

Anyway, a beautiful game with graphically impressive cutscenes. The sixaxis (I wrote it backwards 'cuz I'm cool) got turned off, instantly! I sucked. The best parts of this game were the ones that didn't involve Nariko (Twinge Twang!!). In the end, it's an average game with amazing production values.

7.5/10

The best PS3 launch title in my opinion. Nice hack-and-slash game, though not AAA.

7.5/10

The storytelling was quite superb, with Nariko and Kai being great characters, and great voiceacting performances (credit to Andy Serkis, he did a great job directing and acting). That's about where the 'superb' ends though.
The game looks good, but has some wonky physics. The gameplay is at its best when you're controlling projectiles with the Sixaxis (fun sections for the most part), but the hack'n'slash only felt 'so so'.
On top of that, while all characters were well done, some characters were just too annoying and freakish. In fact, this applies to almost all the bosses.



7.5

Positives:
interesting heroine
sisaxis shooting episodes with Kay or catapult
amazing visuals

Negatives:
extremly short
unbalanced difficulty of various sections and bosses
framedrops in few moments

+ Good combat, interesting story, great characters, great visuals (especially facial animations), good voice acting, the only game I've played which uses the sixaxis well

- too short (although I bought the game cheap so can't complain too much), final boss was quite frustrating



4.5/10
I didn't like the characters, the combat was lame, bad use of sixaxis...
