Lol better than GOW? I already beat Hs and no way is it near as goog as gow or gow2. The combat system gets annoying sometimes. The story is not that great. What is it with cows and this game?

wow, i think we are getting ahead of ourselves there. The game is fun.

But I think in terms of combat and pure action Devil May Cry, God of War, and Ninja Gaiden are on a whole nother level.

I know you didnt mention the other 2, but those 2 are the kinds of games you compare God of War to.

Heavenly Sword is just visuals compared to Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden.

OMG heavenly sword looks better!!?? your kiddin!? a PS3 game looking better than a PS2 game... wow... what an argument.

As for battle system and story, sure HS has its moments, but its not epic by any means. GoW deserves its rank as one of the best PS2 games. HS does not.

And even if HS > GoW, shouldn't that be how it should be? PS3 games SHOULD be better than PS2 games, if not..... wow does sony suck.

I can tell many of you havent played HS yet! If you actually did, you would be impressed by some facet of the game wether its combat, story, graphics and especially the scale of the battles.People who play this game do play it on "Hell Mode" after the first time. Its that fun...

have you played the game? i seriously doubt it. btw god of war and ninja gaiden have to be two of the most overhyped games i have ever played in my life! i have not picked up god of war two yet but after the dissapointment that was god of war i have to say i am waiting to the game drops in price before i take it for a ride.

The game is great, it has alot of different styles of gameplay, it has unique combat system, great story, great visuals, great everything,

But, it is short, it had to be longer next time because I like the game very much, I didn't finish the game but I think in 1 hour Im gonna finish it( I've played 7 hours), the story is the reason why the game is short, may be HS 2 will be longer though.

my friend has a PS3. i have played warhawk. and just like Warhawk i will get my own hands on with Heavenly Sword. As far as what i have seen in terms of combat the defensive system is a great thing but overall it doesnt have the combat of Devil May Cry, God of War, and Ninja Gaiden.....especially Ninja Gaiden.

For everything Ninja Gaiden does wrong.
dumb story
pointless plot
bad voice acting

It makes up all that in combat and gameplay. In terms of depth i dont think Heavenly Sword could match it, as far as the indication reviews have given on the combat.

As for God of War versus Heavenly Sword. Personally Nariko>Kratos. But i hate Kratos as a character. The game stories however and the gameplay itself is god of war hands down. Especially the boss fights. If HS can beat it in Boss Fights i might actually shut up and give the game its props.

But all in all there is a reason Why Ninja Gaiden and God of War are AAA franchises.

I enjoyed the overall presentation of the game. Made me feel like I was almost playing a movie or something. But compared to the games you listed the combos in HS are extremly simple and if you're a hardcore fan of DMC or NG then HS is a walk in the park.

HS sucks IMO. Pretty easy to button mash your way through. GOW owns it:D-Sniper99-

No way, the combat system is very complex, you can't mash your way, every enemy has a unique style to beat, and there is some battles you can't imagine how many AIs against you and they are very clever, you will die even in normal mode, I didn't finish the game, I think hell mode will be hell. :)

exactly what i was thinking. HS has the perfect movie feel. But Action game its kind of a step behind. But thats from me watching someone else play. the other kids comment of HS>Ninja Gaiden

makes me want to get my own hands on though.

I seriously doubt that HS is better than GoW (I can't say for sure, I haven't played HS). I think you're just excited from the initial fun factor.

Supposedly the combat is awesome but flawed since you only need to use the same few combos for the whole game.

As for the story, unmatched delivery and presentation, 10/10 for delivery.

I've watched the game, but only played it for a few minutes. Very fun though.

I found it to be repetitive. Comparing Heavenly Sword to God of War is an insult to God of War, in my opinion. Heavenly Sword borrows from the game and is compared to it quite a bit, but it's simply not on the same level.

im not, its just a shame that Heavenly Sword will be overeshadowed and put down for being short when in reality its one of the most beautiful games ive ever played...

The charachters are truly amazing, this game makes you FEEL, i almost got a lil choked up at the end and that hasnt happened this MGS3...

Hell Mode is a BLAST, and is def a sweet spot for anyone who thtought the first playthrough was too easy...

HS is a GREAT game

some people were playing HS at my local game store just afew hours ago. from what I HAVE SEEN..the gameplay looks abit..boring. i dont know if this was because the guy playing it was a button masher or something,but watching him play made the game look very bland and boring. A.I is another thing i noticed.. i dont know if the game was on easy or hell mode,but those badguys clearly wanted to get their asses kicked since they werent moving half the time. aside from the problems i have with the game..the graphics and audio were very good..made me wish Ninja gaiden had something like that.

but im sure ninja gaiden 2 will be a much more harder game. :wink:

From what I remember from watching the video review from IGN, the guy didn't really mention it. Which means that probably it's nothing special. Did GameSpot say much about the story at all ?

because unless you are talking story i could not see how Heavenly Sword touches Ninja Gaiden.

Games do not consist of only either Story or Gameplay

NG has only one, Gameplay, and while it is lightyears ahead of HS, it doesnt matter, because the whole package is what counts

which is why HS triumphs over NG in my book, with good gameplay and superb story, it beats JUST gameplay

WTH makes you think mediocre gameplay and a great story is better than a game with SUBERB gameplay? The best in the genre infact? If you value the story so much more than the gameplay then you should go read a book or watch a good movie.
