Play Magazine: 10/10

PSX: 9/10

PSM: 8/10

Nextgenireland: 9.7/10

The only poor review is from IGN UK (7/10) but they dont count because their not the real IGN. Their reviews tend to be way different than IGN's.

This game doesn't look like a flop with those scores.

Oh, so because one site gives it a bad review, it doesn't count? That seems oddly convenient...

It's pretty hard to detract from a 6 in gameplay that IGN UK bestowed upon Heavenly Sword.....

Personally, any game that score at least 7 outta 10 I still consider a potential buy, especially one in my favorite Genre (third-person action) but I need to see a better average than at least 7.5.

I think, unlike Lair or Genji, Heavenly Sword will easily obtain that. Must buy for PS3 owners and probably, though I hyped it AAA, an 8.0 here at Gamespot.

exactly.

I can't read the review b/c IGN's down right now, but I'm more inclined to trust a non-Playstation related review than the one's the TC listed.

they detracted it because they said that the gameplay was repetitive. almost all games have repetitive gameplay.

no it doesnt count because its never counted. IGN UK is a division of IGN. IGN's score counts over IGN UK.

Ok, it might be good then anyway, was thinking to hasty with the IGN review. But mostly I think that IGN gives pretty reliable scores.

Why would Would you list Playstation Magizines, Play Magazine and NexgenIreland(Whoever the hell that is) and say IGN UK doesn't count? This my friend....is a biased post

But their reviews count towards nothing. Before their Warhawk review not a person on this site had heard of them.

Almost allthe reviews on your list, except the low one from IGN UK, are from sympathetic Playstation sites. I regard them slightly more favourably than advertisements.

So all of these sources give it good reviews and 1 gives it a poor one and that automatically means the poor one is the most accurate and makes the game a flop?

considering two of them are PS magazines, one site is not even commonly known, leaves a 10/10 and a 6/10. and looking at the IGN review, i dont believe that HS is a 10/10

C'mon dude. Most of those sites are affiliated with Sony, the Playstation brand or are run by PS fanboys. Hardly unbiased objective opnions.

I personally don't give a **** what score Heavenly Sword gets, I won't be buying the game. Doesn't appeal to me. However, I want reliable reviews to be posted. Play does not offer those. Neither does NextGenIreland. As for the Playstation magazines, you can make up your own mind about that.

none of the magazines are affiliated with sony. PSM is the only all playstation magazine. PSX, Play, and nextgenireland are all multiplat.

nextgenireland is ONLY Sony. I'm pretty sure PSX is also a Sony only magazine.

Playis widely known to be untrustworthy when it comes to realistic reviews.

People need to really pay attention to this thread. Everyone's freaking out about the 7 at IGN UK but it has had so many good reviews. We'll just have to wait.

Judging by alot of previews and video interviews on HS, it looks to be a "good" game, just not AAA material.

This is the worst attempt at damage controll NextgenIreland counts becuase it's the main outlet but IGN UK doesn't because it's not the main IGN???

Do you even read what you write?

No, it's becuase one site consistently gives sporadic and unpredictable reviews that don't reflect the rest of the world's opinions. That's why it doesn't count.

The game looks repetitive and boring to me.

And most of those are PlayStation magazines, so their credibility could be questioned.
