Alright guys.

I am out to spen quite a few bucks today.

First I am getting my 27" HD Tube, Orange Box for my 360, a Wii (brawl on Sunday), some accesories, and I have to buy a PS3 game.

I tried looking at reviews, and asked some co-workers (at Bestbuy). Reviews got me slanted on Uncharted, and my co-workers said Heavenly Sword.

What do you guys thin wil be better. I can only get one of them for now. Thanx.

Good luck finding a Wii. You can't just stroll right into a store and get one. As for your question I enjoyed Heavenly Sword more than Uncharted, but that doesn't mean that Uncharted isn't good. Uncharted has lasted longer for me than Heavenly Sword.

I would have picked Heavenly Sword automatically, but I heard it gets quite repetitive after a while, is this true? Plus Uncharted looks soo darn beautiful.

I own and played both and if i had to choose only one it would be Uncharted. HS is a good game, but Uncharted is better, imo.

yeah, I think I will get Uncharted. it looks like it will be overall better. After rewatching their video reviews, HS looks like it will be slight repetitve toward the end using the same combos and stance. i think I will get HS later.

Well i've clocked both heavenly sword and uncharted.....and i have to admit.....if i were in ur shoes...i'll definitely get uncharted drakes fortune. When i first purchased heavenly sword i clocked it within the afternoon.....and the game was far too repetitive....playing it was frustrating at times because enemies would block heaps of your attacks...the game revolves around u dodging enemy attacks and counter attacking....if u attack head on then it would be a bit harder....and the final boss in this game was a pain in the rear......cause he just blocks and blocks and getting a combo on him was hard as....but.....after a gruesome 15 minutes of trying to nail the boss....i finally did it....and the next day....i returned heavenly sword to EBGAMES and exchanged it for warhawk. So in my opinion......rent heavenly sword....u'll clock it within a day...or 2 max.

Now with Uncharted drakes........this game is definitely a game to remember......i mean.....when i purchased the game...it was on sale....i didnt buy it on launch date like i did with heavenly sword........the game was on sale...which was why i purchased it....but if i knew how good the game was....i would've purchased it full price when it just came out. The game is very similar to Prince of Persia........puzzle and adventure wise....but action wise....the game is a 3rd person shooter....so its a great combination. The humor in this game is pretty good....the game is more a movie.....and a good one at that. It took me around about 8 hours to clock...but after clocking it.......replaying it on harder difficulties was fun. The game had its hard moments.....but its nothing frustrating...its just the fact that i was careless and ran into enemy fire. Uncharted drakes is definitely a game worthy in your game collection....so thats why i recommend u purchasing this game rather heavenly sword........its got story.....action......romance.....tragedy......suspense......horror....its got the whole thing on a tiny blu ray disk! I dont wanna spoil anything for u......just purchase the game....u wont regret it!

yeah, i thought so. Looking at the reviews for uncharted, I had to have it. And I loved the demo too. But I didn't like the HS demo, but my co-workers said it was amazing, but they have steered me in the wrong way b4. Uncharted looked more like a must have to me. Alright off to go get my stuff :D

First, welcome to the wonderful world of HD, although I think by definition HDTV's are not "tubes." :)

Second, and much more importantly, Uncharted is so much better than Heavenly Sword it's hard for me to even compare them with a straight face. I know you will find a lot of people who swear by HS, and I was really looking forward to it as I'm a fan of good action-adventure games (God of War, Ninja Gaiden), but after about 3 hours of that crap I gave up on HS. Uncharted bests it in every way. Go Drake, and you'll never go back.

BOTH ARE STABLES......i really liked heavenly sword......it was my favorite, plus they just started heavenly sword 2. With that out of the way, UNCHARTED is the most beautiful game I have ever seen on ANY PLATFORM! and that includes anything on a PC. I was just more impressed with Heavenly Sword....the story, characters, graphics, ect. bad thing was the camera, that's it. I didn't think it was too short, it was just right. Uncharted is also a great game........I say get both. If you have Gears of War, then U have played the shooting parts on Uncharted. But Gears, in the graphics dept, has NOTHING on Uncharted. buy them both, you won't be wasting your money. When someone comes over who has never seen the PS3 I break out Heavenly Sword. Then I break out Uncharted. Both are good-----I mean great......u can't loose.....

I liked both of them alot. They both get repetitive in the gameplay area, especially when it comes to recycled enemies. HS has very memorable Boss fights, Uncharted has a better story. I'd buy Uncharted, it's probably an hour or two longer and a more polished product. I think it took me around 7 and a half hours to beat, while HS was a bit shorter.

if you're going to rent get HS. Buy uncharted if you want to beat it again later on when home comes out or just unlock everything.

Uncharted is a bit longer but Heavenly Sword is a great game too. Get Uncharted first, then get Heavenly sword as your 2nd ps3 game.

I own both, and have played through both. Uncharted is by far the better of the two.

;)Heavenly sword is a small game no reply value but good graphics and good gameplay and story. Uncharted arms drakes fortune: Better graphics good gameplay good story overall one of the best games of ps3 you should also look at resistance fall of man But you should try the demo and see what you prefer!

I haven't played Heavenly Sword, but I LOVED Uncharted. So do all of my friends that have played it so far. One of my buddies was amazed by the visuals and said he just wanted to watch me play--as if it was a movie.

I think Heavenly Sword blows uncharted out of the water. The story and cut scenes are epic. Uncharted is good too but in the end it's a fairly cookie cutter story. Both are fairly short though so if money is an issue just rent em...

Swords or guns? Swords get my vote...

Average? Predictable? Dull? Honestly man, get some perspective. We obviously weren't playing the same Uncharted. Anyway, back to the topic, I personally liked Uncharted more. It is a game that gets you thinking and is really addicive. It also has alot of replay value and, contrary to a previous post, a great story and instantly likeable characters. You won't regret it.

mannn go with heavenly sword!!! u'll be so rapped up in the game... and it never gets repetitive cuz of the new combos that can be unlocked... i'd say it's one of the best games on ps3 right now... uncharted is fun but its a million times more repetitive and the hardest difficulty isnt that challenging once ur used to the game... if u play heavenly sword and try getting long combos to unlock the extra art and stuff it'll increase the games length and heavenly sword does look better than uncharted in my opinion... nariko looks so real at some points its amazing... and the acrobatics included are off some sort of chart. i really don't think u'll regret getting the game... heavenly sword = epic and uncharted = slightly below epic but still pretty good

I have to buy one at a time, I am exercising restraint :) Plus, I don't like buying 2 good games for one system at the same time, since I end up rushing thru them. I will definitely be picking up heavenly sword next.

I havent played Heavenly Sword, but Uncharted is one hell of a game. The detail is mind boggling, the story is good, the characters are decent, and the gunplay is pretty good as well.

I agree. I owned both. I still play Uncharted, and I traded Heavenly Sword before I even finished it. And I was at the final stage, but I didn't care about it at all. As great as it looked, the heroine, for all her looks, is a **** character. The game made no difference in my life whatsoever. Sayonara.

Uncharted: 10+ One of THE best PS3 games, and we will see sequels.

PS- some dude said the characters were dull. This game was better than most movies. What the hell does he know? The characters were great.

Uncharted. But you should look what the games are about and if you like the type of game they are . They are uncomparable.

Get Uncharted. Uncharted is the best game I've played on PS3. Heavenly Sword is absolutely crap. I hated Heavenly Sword. After 10 minutes I was so bored I felt like crying. Ninja Gaiden Sigma is 100 times better than Heavenly Sword.
