Gamespot's Heavenly Sword review is up: 8.0

It's lookin' good, but seems short.

"Heavenly Sword feels like a summer action flick. It's full of nonstop action, and it looks terrific. Unfortunately, it's over far too quickly."

Heavenly Sword review

Wasn't this hyped AAA?

Flop. If only it could be longer it would have definatly gotten AAA.

FLOP? lol come on now it s still a AA title, and a game flop ccording to its sales not reviews

How can an 8.0 be considered a flop? This game has been getting great reviews, and I think it will sell very well. I also wish it was longer, but I certainly wouldn't call it a flop.

It pains me to think some people have become so obsessed with numbers that anything below a 9 is now a flop.mohmaaytah

It's stunning because he seems to be basing his opinion on the review, which is odd, seeing as the review is very positive. What stuns me about it is that someone who is basing their opinion on a very positive review could say that it's crap.

A "great" game is a piece of crap :??

guys this game is great wtf are you guys (some) are talking about??? the only downfall was that its short. the developers already said they were making part two (or at least in decussion) so they know what to improve on =)solidsnakechamp

Don't bother dude... Somne gamers are very hard to please now a days. Here is their thinking if you want to understand it:

1) Short game= Flop

2) Anything below a 9.0 score = Flop (yep, that means Resistance and Warhawk suck, right?)

3) If it's not a first Person shooter= Flop

4) If it's not Halo related= Flop

5) New to play/learn= Flop

See a trend here... you can say whatever you want, some people are just not going to play or buy this game. Not alot of people are going to know how good this game is and thats pretty sad. Whatever, they're loss I guess, I'm getting Heavenly Sword no matter what.

Well it certainly got a better review here than on IGN.

It's short but people pay $15 to buy a movie that's 2 hours long. Why not pay $60 to buy a game that's about 8 hours long?munu9

What does one have to do with another?

They're both media that only lasts a certain amount of time (unless you replay it) that you watch/play through your TV.

dude u dont understand what he said? Im with him on that, if u can spend $15 on a 2 hours movie, $60 for a 8 hours games is exactly the same execpt that u interact with the story which is a lot better than a movie.

Yeah but....nvm. You're right. They're both comparable.

Honestly i had high hopes for this game when i first saw it, but after some of the earlier reviews my hopes faded (ign im looking at you), but an 8.0 is a great score and it looks like SCEA has a new franchise it can build on. If lair is on 1 mill soldpace, then this game will sell 1-2 mill easily and should help sell some ps3s.

Let's be real guys, reviewers always say the game is shorter than it actually is (maybe to make them seem like they are incredible gamers? I don't know). It always takes me a lot longer to beat games than reviews say. I'm sure this game will be closer to 10 hours. Plus, if it's as awesome as the review says, I will definitely want to play through it more than once.watchcity

a 7 from ign and 8 from GS.....and 7 hours of gameplay with no mulitplayer or replay value!!!???? pfft what a joke.

a weekend rental, nothing more.

You do know that it only took the reviewers 7 hours to beat it because they rush through their games in order to post a review right away right? Guess you didn't think that, huh? It will probably take us double the amount of time to beat it. Short still yes but I guess you're very hard to please or just believe a game that gets below a9 now a days is a flop.
