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.Zero5000X
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.
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.

they complained that it had "repetitive gameplay." Almost all games have repetitive gameplay...
:roll: dude play mag. has no credibility what so ever. Its best to trust IGN UK than play. Right now odds are this game will be AA at best.[QUOTE="fenwickhotmail"]IGN UK>>>>>>>>>>>PLAY MAGAZINEZero5000X

even the demo was repetitive. Almost allgames are not this repetitve
Don't forget about the 9 and 8 outta 10 that the game got from PSX and PSW guys!ISA_Scum
i think its safer to go along with IGN UKs score for now rather than PLAYSTATION MAGAZINES
You people do realize this is IGN UK, right? The people who gave Resistance an 8.0 whereas the US IGN gave it a 9.1? /threada_ratchet_fan
yes thats what i was trying to get acorss. IGN UK tends to give lower scores than IGN. Besides IGN UK doesn't count towards gamerankings.
the fact that they gave heavenly sword a 10 should automatically discredit their credibility. JPOBSPlay lost their credibility a long time ago.

Without having played the game such a claim can be made? Such is the logic of System Wars. Pathetic.
a 10/10 means perfection. to think of a perfect game in this day and age? i dotn need to play it to know thats a load of bollocks.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.Zero5000X
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
Oh my, three flops in a row.
Poor Cows!!!
I hope some really good Blu-ray movies (not from Paramount, of course) come out real soon to console them.
