I will still be getting Heavenly Sword because I have a mind of my own and don't let reviews decide where my money should or shouldn't go.

I didn't like the demo much, sure I liked the graphics but the rest of it bored me.  That and the fact the game is only 6 hours long is enough to keep me away until it's a budget title.

If I only owned a PS3 I would pick it up but for someone who owns all the systems there's too many better games to get.

Since when is 7/10 bad?strickers6

Its very bad considering all of the hype around this game... I seen so many "GOTY" and "The real reason to buy a ps3" threads for this game

ever since i got gamefly... i never buy SP only games.

but did this review shake the idea that i might not enjoy the game? the words "hell" and "no" come to mind.

I was never going to buy it. I played the demo and it didn't generally appeal to me. EdSquareCat

Well i don't see how NGS, DMC or GoW have more lasting appeal. NGS has a leader-boards but who gives a crap except those that are really good players, but the other two have nothing more then just a harder difficulty or a new way to fight.

but i don't care because i like these type of games and im buying it :P

Krigon

Thats what I'm thinking as well. Lasting appeal is low?? So what so is GoW and NGS but that didn't stop me from greatly enjoying the game. I don't have tons of time anymore to play games through more than once, so I'll buy a game that I think will be a blast the first time I play it and HS looks like it will.

Well I'll rent it and see if I like it. I might just rent it until I beat it, since It's not supposed to be too long, and there's not multiplayer:(

The OTHER scores for this game were, 10,9,9,8.5. I might be missing one but whatever..heyheydoh

Exactly, IGN is turning out to be a really biased review site, giving awesome PS3 games rwally bad scores, anyone with any sense can see that it's at LEAST an AAA title.

I saw this coming.

IGN doesn't seem to be very fond of repetitive action games.

Which explains why Godhand recieved 3.0

Not to mention the same person who gave Godhand 3.0 was the one who reviewed Heavenly Sword.

I'd say he isn't the person to trust when it comes to action game.

Mkavanaugh77

IGN UK gave it a 7/10 as well though

yeah, that same reviewer at IGN UK gave Red Steel 8.0, Just Cause 8.8, Guitar Hero II 8.3



and you can check what score those games had in other medias

I made my mind up a long time ago way before they started reviewing the game as to whether or not I would buy it. Since the game is only 12-15 hours long the answer is no I'm not going to buy it until there is like a $30 price drop on the game. At any which case I'm banking on Ninja Gaiden Sigma to go down to like $30 by xmas since it will not be selling to many copies come fall.

Please. It is clear that this review is outside the norm.
