I think its a pretty good mimic of ZGod of War. Not as good but still a AA game.

Isn't GoW more puzzle orientation with less emphasis on complex combos whereas Heavenly Sword is the other way around?

I'm with you, I never saw what the big deal with heavenly sword and lair was. But Warhawk looks fantastic.

I've played both and can say that HS feels no more like GOW than Mario feels like Sonic.

YOU(yes, you) cannot get an accurate feel for the actual game by looking at screen shots and videos. Go play the demo and come back with a valid opinion.

i can say games like gears and saints row suck(even though i dont entirelythink that) but that doesnt mean they do suck. (example gears of war i mean come on grey cities, shooting fighting bugs,a prison guard withbigarmy covering thier body but yet can be cut right through with chainsaws with ease, wierd looking guns?it looks like abadcopy of halo with a cover system)so how could you say a game is bad when you dont even have or played itlet aloneif you didnt even try the demo. no offense but you sound really dumb. but since your opinion ongod of war 2 was a 7.0 i guess you might not really be into action adventure games that are of that kind. im not trying to offend you in anywayim just saying that you cant judge a game by just watching videos you actually have to play the game to get the feel for it to see if you like this or that game or hate it.thats why they have demos in the first place

huh? (don't play that card), anyway, I think a lot of previews/reviews have said that HS and GOW are two completely different games.

Yeah heavenly sword definitly borrows elements for god of war.

But you can always make a parallel to games of the same genre you could say god of war borrows aspects of devil may cry or ninja gaiden.

You could say RFOM borrows aspects from half life and halo, you could say forza 1 borrowed from gt, you could say gt 5 borrowed from forza 2.

This could go on for ever.

But really if your going to borrow from a game in the action ad genre then gow is a good game to borrow from.

The guy that said gow had allot of exploration and platforming, and HS concentrates on combos and combat your right.

Although i would have loved HS combot and gow style platforming in heavenly sword that would have made it an amazing game, i still think it's going to be awesome but those platforming bits would have added deeply to the expierence and helped with puzzles and also breaking up the combat to give it a better pace, and if it had those things i could see HS being one of the best action adventure games ever, but i think its going to fall short of the likes of gow and ninja gaiden which really is not a bad thing, a 9.0 is just falling short of those games.

Im really looking forward to Heavenly Sword, it has an excellent combat system allot better than gow combat.

No allot of people have said they are quite similar, but do well a different aspects, it's obvious the games are similar.

For sure there definitly not 2 completly different games.

I agree. As long as the game is good... Who cares where they got their ideas from.

And God of War is just another version of Devil May Cry. Sword swinging, magical orbs that let you buy things, family history dealing with gods/demons. Get real! Every game that is out now is a remake of another game years ago. from the Atari 2600/5200/7800 all the way to the PSWii360. It's like Hollywood, recycling everything with updated grapics and sound, but same basic story line. Deal with it, or stop playing games.
