so far, from the reviews I've seen, Heavenly Sword got a 10/10 from Play Magazine and a 7/10 from IGN UK. Hmmmm. this doesnt happen to often. usually reviews are around the same general area. What do you think the next score will be? personally i think IGN UK's will be the lowest because when i played the demo it was great so i cant see it doing to badly. Also, IGN Uk's score doesn't really count because it isn't from an American publication. Games fair differently with different cultures. one part of the world may enjoy certain types of games while another part may not.

Um..where have you been? PLAY is the most untrustworthy for review here and everywhere. They've given of the most abysmal games good reviews. The IGN review is overrated so I think 7.0 will be high for this game.

Expect the IGN review to be the trend-setter from all reputable magazines and websites. I'd find it hard to believe they'd be that far off the averages.

Yes but IGN hasn't reviewd it yet. IGN UK has. if you look at gamerankings.com you'll notice that the only review for Heavenly Sword is from Play. IGN doesn't have a review up because only their UK group has reviewed it at this point.

ROFL doesn't count cuz it's not american. Yeah, until Famitsu gives FFXIII a 40/40.

Play magazine has an average review score of 9.1 according to gamerankings. That means that Heavenly sword is just above average.

Play gave Sonic an 8.5, they are the worst source available. I don't think they give anything lower than an 8.

I think everyone is getting a little carried away by non-GS reviews right now.

Have to say I had doubts about HS (I bet against it getting AAA in the bet thread) but I didn't reckon it being that far off, fighters are my thing so its hard for me to judge. Still think everyone needs to relax and calm down till the GS reviews of ALL the games being are saying are flopping right now.

If you compare IGN scores to IGN UK score IGN UK tends to give the lower scores for good games.

Wow some of u need to stop saying people are untrustworthy reviewers.. It's their OPINIONS! If you base a good or bad game based off of some numbers people give the games then you are nothing then a puppet ._.

Without having played the game such a claim can be made? Such is the logic of System Wars. Pathetic.

this happens all of the time with play magazine, they are the worst major reviewers out there, they over rate almost everything. They give stuff like sonic for the PS3 something like an 8.5
