Heavenly Sword ? Did you buy it ?

I think it deserves a trilogy since the game was well done. I don't expect this game to be 10+ hours....the game length is almost right(an hour more would of been good) for the genre...any longer and it would be repetitive.

Comparing this game to half life 2 and halo even MP is a bit off......its a different genre....running around gunning people for 12+ hours in those games are a treat but go ahead and do it with a game where theres a combo system and the enemies place emphasis on blocking and counter....see how fast you would get bored.

GOW/GeOW was the same length except gears had multiplayer to keep it freash but multiplayer wouldn't work in this game.

I'm hoping they add trial mode or something like that to put more into the game.

I started hell mode so I'll see how much I get my arse kicked by Bohan.

Basically I would have liked the game to be as 2ny says

8-10 hours. I know I played on easy but 6.5 is very low even by my standards and I was happy with Beyond Goof & Evil & Farrenheit's length.

Sort out the Camera and let me see this world you've created please

Sort out the combat so that in order to progess you actually DO have to learn it, because I was pretty much button bashing the whole time. Why have a great fighting mechanic if there's no need for the player to use it ?

Drop the sister she sucks ass. Drop the arrows and cannons or make them incidental rather than breaking any flow and dragging them out.

Make the bosses 'epic', I didn't paticulary feel in awe or inspired by them.


It's a good game, and I would give it 70%, and if those gripes were corrected I would have given it somthing closer to 90% but they arent so it isn't....

No doubt there will be a HS2 because this will sell well (there's very little competition is there at the moment on PS3) and whilst it's not bad for a game to leave you wanting more... it just fails to live up to the hype that Sony have put up about it, and I think that is the biggest dissapointment.

If so many 'great expectations' were not put on it, I think I'd be slightly more leniant.

And yes Mario Galaxy will get the same scrutiny if it doesnt do the business too.

Okay I hate The Raven King....I hate him. This is one of the dumbest boss battles I've faced.

Not the fact that you have to whoop him three times nooo not that.....not the fact that he fires super fast firballs at you that always seem to hit the mark....noooo
Not the fact he's stronger/faster than you and have more power than you nooo not that...not the fact this this guy takes more blows than steel can take being hit by bombs no not that...
Not the fact that they have dumb arses running around making hard to track this fella nooo not that...The camera sucks in this battle!

You know what really pisses me off about this battle.....The damn crazy arse button mash at the end...**** me over four time already


This is ANNOYING!!...this heavenly game almost got a heavenly toss out the window.

I'm begging to really hate these fecking Real Time Battle Sequences ? I mean WTF!! Since when in reality are you preseneted with a button sequence going into a fight ? Add to the fact that they are utterly tedious and whilst the idea orginally was to make cut scenes interactive, now they are over used and not used well at all.

HATE THEM!!!

Play the Jerhico Demo on PSN or Live! It has them too. Pisses me off utterly.......

Developers need shooting.

That's because it worked so well with RE4. Now everyone has to add something like that.

Disclaimer: I have not played Heavenly Sword once, so I'm not saying if it's good or bad. I just think this comic is funny:
