Awesome game with cinematic features!
User Rating: 8.5 | Heavenly Sword PS3
This game while it is short had great elements to it. For the first time I really saw what the PS3 had to offer and this game has helped Sony come into next generation of gaming. It had a cinematic feel right from the get go and let's you pull off insane combos and things you wish you could do in real life. From the positive I think that it was a great story and it seemed more like a movie than simply bashing buttons killing things. Although you do a fair amount of that it felt like you were in a movie. This game also took good use of the six-axis controller even though it was hard to get used at first. Once you get the hang of it, it feels quite natural and essential in game play. Fluid controlls also were great factors in the game play. Range/power/speed attacks each offered their own element of suprise and tactical use in the variety of enviornments. You also get to play as 2 characters, obviously the main girl Nariko and also the "archer" Kai who comes in handy at random times. I couldn't believe some of the things I was doing in the game where my mouth was open going "that was incredible!!!!" The only negative I have about this game is that it was kind of short and it takes a little bit of time for the learning curve. Learning to use speed/power/range attacks really takes trial and error along with probably dieing a few times. Over all I think this was a great game to play and VERY entertaining. If Sony keeps puting out games like this I wouldn't hesistate with cost. Definately worth $60 and the next step into next-gen gaming.
