If this wsa Halo 3 I would have downloaded it the second it came out. I guess it Heavenly Sword touted by many cows as AAA doesnt get me going? Let me know if its what you expected or if you didnt like the demo?

The demo was awesome. I am, and probably most Cows, probably going to hype it AAA. But the demo was too short...

I was really wanted this game to be amazing but from thr DEMO, I didn't get that feeling. Dont get me wrong it seems like it will e a good game prob AA, but when you have played NG or NGS this game just doesn't stand up.

In my opinion NG is a much better gamethan HS.

If the demo were longer I would have a better idea. I think I'm gonna go out on a limb and say AAA here (does anyone know what the length of the game is supposed to be?)

It was too short for me to make an honest review of it. But the core of it is fun. AA, in my opinion.

The problem is that it came a little late. After God of War, a game like this just feels underwhelming. Not because it pales in comparison, but it's more of a feeling of "been there, done that".

It depends if alot of people are still downloading. I read people complaining that it after 20 minutes they only downloaded like 30%. I got the demo before the afternoon download rush started and it took me like 10-15 minutes

The combat is much better than I though it would be. It's not just a mindless button masher and it doesn't get repetitive(I played the demo for 2 hours straight) :). The stance combat is unique and unlike anything I have ever played before. Demo length was disapointing and there was quite a bit of screen tearing. Nevertheless, I am hyping HS AAA!

Also, I don't know why people compare this to NG. They are not very similar. NG is super fast paced and relies on reflexes a lot of times. HS is more slow, but more strategic IHMO. One more thing, you need to play the demo more than once to get the feel for HS.

If that's so I think I'm gonna have to stick with AAA. The combat system seems very deep. I just wish there was more time to see if it would get repetitive. But alas, I'll say AAA

Comparing a complete game to a demo isn't exactly wise. The HS demo didn't even come close to scratching the surface.

Personally, I already the combat system of HS much better than Sigma's. Way more enemies, many more combos to come, great graphics etc.

8.7 is not achievable anymore. Have you been gone for awhile?

It was to short for me to get a clear opinion 'bout it. I only got a chance to play it once. So I didn't get a full-handle on the controls, and I didn't get around to learning the techniques to well. So it may be more fluid than I think. But I think not bein' able to jump kinda takes some fun outta the fightin'. Cuz it IS a button masher. Doesn't mean a button-masher can't be fun. But we'll see when the full game comes out. Maybe the fighting gets better in the long run.

I hear ya, a 10 min demo is kinda lame. Whats evident is that a 10 min demo came in at almost 1GB, its pretty obvious that a X360 DVD would not fit this game with the motion capture cinematics embedded in this game.

I think the game will score somewhere between 8.7 to 9.1.From what I have been seeing, the game looks pretty good, although I don't play these types of games much.

As for the Demo, if it's that short, then you won't get much of the true feeling for the game.

I bet you also think god of war has better combat than NGS. *sigh*

The direction NG game mechanics is more of a methodical strategy when it comes to dealing with enemies. but yeah people cant possibly compare a 5min demo to a complete game. thats just silly

I will probably get a 9.0, remember GS changed their rating system to .5 increments, so now a game that would have gotten a 8.8 to 9.2 gets a 9.0 now.

Where have you been in the last couple weeks? The rating system has changed, games can only be scored in .5 increaments, 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 etc....

There's a 90% chance of HS scoring 9.0

I didn't know that, haven't been hear for a good month or so, thanks for the update. Personally I like the old way better,but no big deal.

Append: think the game will score an 8.5 or 9.0.

I'm still hyping the game AAA because the demo was from Sony's Gamers Day not from E3.
