and they said it takes 6 hours .....on their first sitting? i think not. why did they make a big point of its shortness when they probably used that extra time (between posting their review) to keep playing thru it a number of times then to give the game the impression that its a short ripoff.

if its a great game, its a great game gamespot - dont go deducting points on one game n not do it for all games.

You should know that gamespot has this game reviewed like 1 or 2 weeks ago. The reason it came out today is because developers have an embargo on it and won't let reviews sites like gamespot to release its review until they say so.

Heavenly sword is a decent game and cows should be happy that they got a AA title but it is still a flop nonetheless.

Get over it and remember not to hyped ps3 exclusive like its the second coming.

Just imagine how short it would have been if they didn't have all the extra storage space of Blu-Ray to use, the whole game would have been as short as the demo.

So much for bluray bringing bigger/longer games...seems lair suffered from the same problem also. HS to GS prolly wasnt a game they felt they HAD to get reviewed quickly.

Well an 8 is a good score. But cows like to hype every game like the second coming on here and they brag like no tomorrow. Saying it owns anything on the 360; you cant get gameplay/graphics like this on the 360. Then the game comes out and its just meh all that freaking hype for nothing. Cows are always defensive when their games 'flop'. They come up with crazy conspiracies theories and excuses.

The game scored better than I was expecting, if anything they should be relieved.

I laughed at how they said it can be played in one sitting, shortly after saying it was six and a half hours long. Who's going to play for that long? I think I'd rather enjoy it than rush through it whilst giving myself a headache from looking at a screen all day.

Playing Counter strike for like 10 hours and you dont eat gives you a headache. Beating HS in 6-7hours then returning it to Gamestop before dinner is nothing.

I thought that an 8.0 was more than generous for a Gamespot review, especially considering other sites' reviews and Gamespots pension for giving lower scores.

Playing a game for that long isn't enjoyable. I reckon HS will last me a week, and I'll no doubt play it through at least twice.

It'll probably last casuals a couple days, but your average gamer would knock it out in one sitting ^_^ No offense or anything just stating this, I would normally on work days (weekdays) play between 6-7pm to 12pm-2am :) And yes I have a life outside of gaming, its call weekends ;)

I know it does, and that's the problem. If everyone just stopped with the insults, we'd all be a lot more content with out preferred games/ consoles.

My point is that six hours will last me, personally, a week. Besides, a lot of games are really short these days. I recently played Daxter for the PSP and it can't have been much longer than six hours.

That cannot happen and prolly will never happen. There would really be no point of system wars if everyone got along. There will always be someone that will bash or make fun; there is nothing you can do about it. If you want to be around people who share the same views on a console or whatever I say go to each consoles specific forum.

I think its funny. System wars is a very funny place and I would not have it any other way.

It can be, but it can also be very frustrating. I just think everyone could be a tiny bit more mature when saying X console is better than Y console. >.>

I shared your view up until BioShock. I played that for hours on end in one sitting when I finally got to sit down and immerse myself. I never intended to play that long, I just lost track of time.

If a game is good and immersive enough, its more than possible to lose yourself in it.

Not usually. Sometimes I'll play for two or three, but not often... I basically won't have time to play it for more than an hour.

nope,

he said they got the game only 2 weeks ago and couldnt post there review under an embargo, yet other sites posted there reviews weeks ago. im claiming they had it all that time to play thru then come out n claim it took 6 hours to finish (first time sitting) well im not buying that story. which meant gs where sitting on this review weeks ago.

Wow this ps3 fan has stooped to an all new low. 6.5 hours is really the bottow of the barrel of overall game length... I don't even think I've ever played a game that short... I'm glad your happy paying $60 for 6.5 hours of entertainment... thats like $10 an hour. RIP OFF.
