Heavenly Sword is a flop, not as bad of a flop as Lair, but a worse flop than Metroid

Looks like a great showpiece for PS3 owners. I was really suprised by the AA actually.

pretty much what you said in the topic title, after earlier reviews people started to expect A-range scores so even though it flopped its not as bad as expected

Oh man the cow damage control is in full effect. Get over it cows the game you thought was gonna be a savior is just a good game, nothing more...not a killer app..not a genre defining game....just another decent action game. Just be happy that the PS3 has a new decent game.

Cows are losing confidence. I doubt they'll hype any exclusive PS3 game coming out this year and even early next year to be triple A.

Yes it didnt meet its hype, but 8 is hardly a bad game, the only real thing from keeping it from being a AAA game is its length, actually i was expecting this game to hit a 7.2 after seeing some of the earlier reviews. The game will sell well, and should help sell some ps3s regardless.

Wow. Cows are getting owned one by one by one by one. First Lair, now this. Repeat of 2004. TCHBO, TCHBO, TCHBO.

*Done with routine*

I wonder where PS3_FTW is. Probably trying to save face.

Lair and HS were hyped so much for the past year, and both flop.

So let's see what title is next...... Uncharted maybe?

Bottom line:

I feel bad for anyone that only owns a PS3.

lol, look i have nothing against HS, 8.0 is a solid game, but i mean Gears could have a short campaign cause of the online, it would have been an 8.5 or so without the online, HS's campaign isnt enough to carry it without multiplayer (which wouldnt work with it anyway) so its score makes sense...actually higher than i thought. Cant beleive IGN was more harsh than GS

That looks like one of the few games that will be worth owning. I can't tell if it will sink or swim, though.

Uncharted may be a sleeper, however.

Its not the score, its just the flops for the PS3 are getting out of control...i think this is worse than Lair cause at least a lot of PS3 fanboys were skeptical of Lair, HS was supposed to be a Killer ap...but its a good game...nothing special though

I remember beating MGS in 4 hours. I dunno, length is relative, if the game is fun thats all I need.

The funny things is, lemmings will take SW rules to the real world, claiming the PS3 is doomed because HS got under the hyped AAA. Other gamers around the world are nothing like the people on this forum. We need to understand that. HS is fun, it will sell.
