Gameplay comparable to God of War, but with a certain poetry instead of the excessive blood...
User Rating: 8.5 | Heavenly Sword PS3
This is an under-appreciated game. Yes, it is short... very short, but the last quarter or so of it is absolutely epic. It really makes the whole game worth playing through. The "Final Battle" is one of the most incredible war scenes I've ever seen in either games or movies. Literally thousands of people on screen at the same time, plus an immense environment, and siege weaponry... It is amazing. The game overall is a very attractive game. The gameplay, however, is a little bland. There are 2 attack buttons and 3 stances, and combos that evolve from them. It is a lot of just button mashing. There is a second character that you get to play and controlling her arrows into your targets really breaks up the mashing nicely. It really is a fun game, but it might be worthwhile to wait until it hits $30 as a greatest hit.
