are you guys mad about the ign review of heavily sword.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/812/812365p3.html = 7.9 im only using this as an example

then you have heavily sword 9, 9, 8.5, 6, 6 = 7 they round it off wrong. it has 1.5 points higher but the other got .9 higher. i don't get it do you.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/744/744611p2.html = 6 did they forget .5 mor points than the one above but 1.9 higher score. you will see this on most ps 3 exclusive games. even the bad ports get higher ratings.

Why on earth would people be mad at this stage, because really at this point nobody here has the right to say there review is wrong.

They have played the whole game we played a five minute demo.

I personally think HS is going to be awesome but i dont think its going to be god of war awesome, simply because of the lack of exploration and platforming.

Heavenly sword's combat is great probably the best combat system ive played with in this genre, but ive heard plenty of reports its mainly just move forward,quick time event,fight 20 bad guys,move forward,fight more bad guys,quick time event boss battle arena style.

It just seems very linear with nothing really breaking it up like god of war,dmc and ninja gaiden, i think this is going to take points off the majority of reviews.

But ive seen nothing on this myself only heard, and the guy i heard it from was shane from 1up/egm and he is the biggest fanboy ive seen.

But theres still plenty of positive things about HS, the things it does it does great just theres not that much to it, which im not to worried about, the story sounds very interesting the combat is awesome i just wish there was some exploration/platforming and a jump button, but thats just my personal taste, i still have the game pre-ordered and i plan on enjoying the hell out of it.

Just because of that, i hate IGN. Heavenly sword deservesWAY betternico0001

God fangirls from both sides are so fickle.

It wasnt long ago people were saying ign is the only unbiased site etc etc etc.

Certain reviewers will have certain tastes, just because they dont like a game you think will be great doesnt mean there review is wrong.

Try to remember people its just several people's opinions.

What's the big deal? It's not as if HS got azero for a score. If you really like the game does it matter what the review score was? I think you guys have to keep your expectationsa little more realistic.

I did the math and it should be7.7 on ign, i dunno why it is 7.0 .7 is a difference for me

ign is a good site, i was just a little off cuz i was so pissed off, thats all

The UK IGN-guy who reviewed Heavenly Sword is the same guy who gave Red Steel an 8/10 and he should therefore be ignored. He has ZERO credibility in my book and I'm waiting for Gamespot and US IGN reviews.metalclock

yeah - red steel was terrible. remember, though, even gamespot gave Perfect Dark Zero a 9.0.

Someone already pointed this out so I don't know why I have to repeat them. IGN does not average their scores, in other words they don't add the point values up. It says so right underneath the final score.

i'm still trying to figure out why anyone cares. If you like a game, buy it. is it that hard to figure out?tgschmidt

you're absolutely right. however, good reviews do bolster sales. lets face it, the PS3 really needs a marquee game right now - something that will sell the console. if heavenly sword gets great reviews, it helps the overall picture.

hmmm i disagree with alot of points about the gameplay that they say in that review. It's not a button masher, and i think it has a lot of depth with the counter and aerial maneuvers. I would probably rate the gameplay at an 8 or 9. Timing seemed a lot more important in this game then say God of War, from my experience with the demo. If the game only takes about 6 hours to beat, I would have to agree with the 6 rating for replayability. I'm thinking this game is gonna be an 8-8.5 in my book. Graphically, God of War 2 had an obnoxious amount of frame tearing but how did they rate that one?

Presentation/Story = 9.5 (cmon, alll the effort put into the animation and mocap for the cinematics etc, this is topnotch stuff)

Graphics = 9 (great detail with a few frame rate hiccups/tearing)

Gameplay = 9 ( i loved the depth of the demo's gameplay)

Sound = 8-9 ( i liked the voice acting, sound and music from the demo, thinking game will be even better)

Replayability = 6 (if the game is only 6 hours long I cant justify scoring higher than this)

Total average ish thing = 8.4 (not a 7 heheh)

Looking forward to it.

ultimately, it's the combined result of all reviews that'll make a final review, which you can check here: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/heavenlysword?q=heavenly%20sword so far it only has one review, but if it keeps getting like the first review, the f*** IGN :)HJrAS_PT

You should probably change your sig, in the IGNs Killzone 2 blowout, they said the specs are 30fps at 720p for KZ2.

I think they did it just to get Hits on their website... I mean not only would giving it a low score so early on get PS3 gamers in a tizzy about it and looking at it they would also atract 360 fans.... as well...

Look for IGN to give it a better score then IGN UK and then they will get even more hits...because people will compare them...

it is all about the HITS
