Heaven Sword Review IGN

Re: Heaven Sword Review IGN

this game is pretty impressive. Good fun. I don't personally have a problem with the length of the game. I buy a lot of games which means I don't finish a lot of them. Mostly a sports gamer so this is a filler between madden, which I've done a couple seasons, and nba 2k8. This gives me something to look foward to every day while nba2k8 tortures me...So Im playing a level a day, which has been just about an hour per sit down. For me this is adequate, because the game is outstanding and makes me want to keep playing it. So in between a game of ncaa and heavenly sword thats the couple hours of gaming I get in. If your a person with a lot of time for gaming it may be only worth the rental. But it is at least worth that. great game.

Aside from heavy Sixaxis support (use the aftertouch in the Dawn Siege section of Chapter 1 or a gong puzzle in Chapter 2, and tell me it's still the "sux"axis), remapped controls, and smooth branching animations..this really does feel similar to God of War, but also feels fresh.

The combat system is much, much more fluid than GOW or GOW2. You can mix things up in God of War pretty easily, but the animations in HS do it so seamlessly. The only knock, so far, is how to perform an aerial combo. From a range stance (L1), you hit triangle & yank the sixaxis up. Once I master it, I'll probably love it, but the fast pace gives you a small window.

The lip-motion tracking is unreal in this game. It's like going from a dubbed kung-fu flick to the real deal.

I'm confused about unlockables, though. I've had 100+ hit combos, and still had only two medals on a section. I know the glowing pots/health add to the meter, but eh..who knows.

Heavenly Sword and Halo 3 are two excellent games to jump start the best quarter of the year.

You can turn off the six axis and use the analog stick instead.

That is good to hear, I haven't had a chance to yet crack the game open...been doing some remodeling @ home.

I was actually complimenting the Sixaxis integration. Doing the (mild spoilers) Protect Shen, Dawn Siege, etc. levels with it is pretty sweet.

Expect Heavenly Sword to add-on to the game to increase its length

That's fine and dandy but it better be free. I'm not paying $60 plus $10 per download to play a full game. And yes, I've already bought it, beat it, and returned it all in one day. Great game, way to short.

Re: Heaven Sword Review IGN

I finally got to play this game (sometimes getting something for free stinks :wink: )

Anyways, its amazing. The controls are fluid, the voice acting is spot on, and the cutscenes are some of the most beautiful graphics that I have seen for the PS3. It feels as though I am watching a movie, but getting to play it as well.

I have completed the first 2 chapters and can't wait to get home from work tomorrow night and play some more.

BTW, how many chapters are in the game?

No way I trade in this game. Its going into the collection. Whoever reviewed this game and gave it a 4 or 5 or whatever must've feel and hit their head on their way in to work.

Does there appear to be much replay value to the game?

It is a fun game but way to short and I saw no reason to play it again. So why keep a game that I'm not going to play again when I can return it and get a full refund? I'd give this game a solid 8.

I saw none, that's why I've already returned it. Depending on if you want to unlock all the extras and play through Hell mode it will give you a bit of replay value. The true replay value will depend on what the DLC will be.

Re: Heaven Sword Review IGN

when playing the mode "To Kill A Fox" in Chapter 4, how in the hell do you get the Heavenly Pots off the ledges? I have been stuck at this point for about a day and I am really getting pissed. Please help.

I am not knocking you for returning the game. I was just stating that I myself, like the game and will add it to my collection of games.

Didn't mean to sound like you were. Just explaining why I returned it. It's a great game and hopefully they will come out with some great DLC to make me rent or buy it again.
