I was thinking of picking up HS in 3 days. Thought there was allot hype behind it just like gears of war. Thought it would at least score a 9.0. Oh well, I guess as long as I have fun with it.
GeOW was a couple hours longer (almost double as long), has co-op, and has online multiplayer. HS has a 6-7 hour single player mode with no online... you see?
Gears of War had awesome co-op and fairly good versus multiplayer, plus it was longer than Heavenly Sword and actually had things to encourage multiple play-throughs like alternate paths, hidden cog tags, and achievements.
i want to see u try beat geow story mode in 6 hours or less on hardcore and insane mode. casual mode you can basically run right thru it cause AIs are dumb and takes 2-3 hits to kill them.
Multiplayer helped it..but the lag was pretty bad.dream431ca
Was. Now there's almost no lag whatsoever unless you have a bad host or your own connection is bad. Either way, my chainsaw is a weapon of mass destruction so I don't care what makes it that way :twisted:
GeoW took me about 10-11 hours to beat on hardcore(which was basically normal). RFom took me about 12 hours to beat on normal. HS is also an adventure game which should be in the 15+ hour range.
Gotta love people asking why this overhyped POS didn't score as well as gears when it wasn't as long as Gears, took a year after gears to look about as good as Gears, didn't have multiplayer likes Gears, didn't have Gears' co-op, had less repayability than Gears, and just wasn't as well put together as Gears.
Like many other people stated Gears single player is longer than HS, and it has a very good multiplayer and online co-op. Not to mention it was the first next gen game to really wow people in terms of graphics.
Please don't compare the genious of Gears of War to the currant sony flop... I know Gears, its a friend of mine, Heavanly Sword is no Gear... colmusterd28
sarcasm at its finest my dear boy. Lots of people complained that the story in gears sucked and it was to short. KARMA is a B**** might I say.

you means cows who never played gears before nor own a 360 in sw.
The big picture. Does every game has to have a multiplayer or online element to be great? If Sony said Heavenly Sword is a 3 game series, would you accept the fact it's ok the first one was short? Questions an average gamer (kid) would not ask, yet just follow the herd to say "it's too short".

:lol: Damn skippy..
Also, Gears Of War was a complete thrill-ride from begining to end.

It's possible to add plenty of replay value without making a game multiplayer. It's not difficult. When we spend money, its nice to have our $60-$70 well-spent. Look at games like Oblivion. Easily hundreds of hours of play time. Guess what: it has no multiplayer. Just throwing that out there.
[QUOTE="Immortal_Evil"]It has one of the best online plays and totally re-invented co-op.AfterShafter
... how did it re-invent co-op?
Probably because the story molded smoothly using co-op, and splitting paths between the two players seemed pretty new for a co-op experience. Im not sure if I completely agree with immortal evil, but I think thats what he meant by it.
Anyway, I played the HS demo and thought it was repetitive 5 minutes into it, I don't know how the hell I would play it for 7 hours.

no I do not accept that, I am disappointed, because the first God of War was much longer and had a Challenge of the Titans mode (or something like that) which many gamers spent many hours playing.
Please don't compare gears to a stupid beat em up for an overpriced system. GeoW was the best 60 bucks I've spent on a game. Have you heard of multiplayer?

read the HS review, wait you don't even have to do that...just read the heading.
You're kidding me, right? Please put down the Sony Kool Aid and please detach your lips from Phil Harrison's tushie. Gears was not a short game and certainly not 6 hours long.
