My gripe is that it's rated T. Most of my games are M rated and I felt like a game like HS should have been M.

All of those great kills that Nariko does will go to waste if there's no blood spattering all over the place.

I lost excitement for it. I am currently waiting for Unreal Tournament, RE5, and MGS4

Theres blood but its nowhere at mortal kombat almost cartoony level. Its tastfully done. Some games should have tons of blood like GOW where you fight like a barbarian and some should be more subtle like HS where your Nariko, not some muscle bound dude.

It has probably been said many times before, but just because critics are making it through the game in 6 hours, doesn't mean it is a 6 hour game, gamers' have their own style, some slower some faster. My opinion is that critics went high-profile through many parts just to get through the game to write a review; that's not a bad thing, but they shouldn't comment in their review how quick of an experience it was.

Just my 0.02 cents.

I know. people dont seem to understand that skill also comes into play when your counting how long a game takes to beat. I mean for example NG is short,but hard as nails if it wasint so hard it would be a breez to beat and would take 3-4hrs. It depends on your skill level people. Also not everyone has alot of hours to dedicate for one game so you gatta count that to.

Funny, thats the reason Im going to avoid this game.

85 percent of gollum was the work of actually animators not serkes who took pretty much all of the credit. i think motion capture is never as good as hiring a really good animator or animators

the consensus on this board is that reviewer often take longer to play through the game, as many people have complained that games that were said to be 6-7 hours long only took 3.

so this game might be shorter then most reviews have said. it is however how much you enjoy the game that determines if you should buy rent or skip it.

i mean look at warhawk lot of people spent 60 bucks on it and it really doesn't have much content but its a great game and lot of people enjoy it and spend hours upon hours on it. so that is really what you should use when making yoru decision.

its not how long the game is but how long you can have fun with it. i personally really didn't like resistence and that game was long, i finished it but i've played the single player campaign for RB6 vegas longer then i did that simply because i enjoyed it more. so in closing ... time is relative... i think some smart guy said that lol .. hmm who was he lol.

serkis helped the other actors with there performances by standing in and giving them a good idea what the final product would be that they are reacting to. plus his voice work truly brought tolkien's vision of the character to life.

oh, and that smart guy you were talking about...that was andy serkis :P

You can pass pretty much any game if you rush through the damn thing. If you take the time to enjoy the game and try to get all the secrets all games are pretty much entertaining.

I have never denied that this game will be a hit! I think this game is great regardless if it's a sister to God of War (which I like). But in my honest opinion, because of the length and since there isn't any other features after the story mode,it's not worth $60 dollars.

Agreed. Even though we are discussing a PS3 game here,I'll use Lost Planet for the 360 as an example. The review said that it was shorter than Gears of War, and clocked in at about 7 hours. Although I took my time/died quite a few times, and did not beat the game for about a week. I got probably 15 hours of gameplay in before I personally beat the game.

The fact of the matter is, we know that Heavenly Sword is going to be an epic adventure, and I plan to take my time and make sure that I get more than any 6 hours out of the first run through. When you factor in how many times you will probably die in certain parts of the game, you can easily add a few hours to how long it will take.

In any event, I look forward to finding out tonight after I pick up my copy at Gamestop. After all the waiting, Heavenly Sword is finally here....hard to believe. Man, time flies.

6 hours if you have a full health cheat going on, please, it'll take double that time to finish the game once you take dying and having to redo a mission as well as getting lost into account. As an earlier post said, Ninja Gaiden Sigma isn't a long game in terms of content, but it takes a long time when you account for getting lost and having to redo a stage/bossfight, etc... Anyone dumb enough to sleep on a masterpiece like Heavenly Sword deserves to miss out. The rest of us will be in bliss when this game hits our systems- get ready for a new level of grand scale, detail, and physics in gaming.

Regardless how long the game actually is and as long as the game-play is fun and challenging (which it is, IMO), I will get it. After all, one of my favourite game of all time, ICO, is only 4-5 hours long (first time) and 1-2 hours long (second run) and I still play it and having a blast.

Remember that 5 minute demo which took up 1 gig of space, well those who actually took the time to learn the controls and combos loved the gameplay and played it over and over. I for one know I've played that demo countless times and it never gets old to me, and that was an old build of the game. Enter the final release version of the game, 25 gb in size. This is new gaming territory as the scale the game will be presented on will be more immense and beautiful than any other game preceding it. Just wait for Heavenly Sword 2. They'll be needing to use the double-layered 50 gb disc by the time that one is ready to come out and it will be a longer game, but no one should sleep on HS because of length, the game will be long enough to still be great and for those who are just so good that they can finish a game like this in only 6-7 hours, there is a Hell mode difficulty which should keep them playing long enough.

Sweet sig man! I saw Lamb of God in Winnipeg during the Unholy Alliance Tour. **** awesome show!!! If you haven't seen them live, you gotta check it out.

As for the topic at hand. I'm definitely picking up Heavenly Sword tomorrow. I was calling a bunch of places today in hopes that somebody might just have it.

could do, depends on the quality of the content, and everyone knows HS holds high quality overall.
