Heavenly Sword may looks like a ordinairy God of War rip-off, but is this sword sharp enough to be victorious?

User Rating: 8.5 | Heavenly Sword PS3
Heavenly Swords development has started no less than 4 years ago. With impressive graphics and a compelling story, the expectations were high. Too high.

Alright, let's just start with the worst thing of Heavenly Sword: its length and its variety. This game took me about 6 hours to complete, while God of War II took me no less than 10 hours of playtime. And then, the very worst part of this title: its variety. There are two main things in the game what you will do. The first is just killing every enemy in sight, without any pain in the brain or something (like in God of War). And the second main part is the shooting, with canons and arrows, wich you can steer in any direction with... the Sixaxis. While it works better than in a lot of other PS3 games (kgg... MotorStorm... kgg... Lair... kgg...), you are far better off with the normal analog controls. And another hint, choose Invert Y on, because otherwise you will be confused a lot.

Heavenly Sword is a great game, make no mistake, but its lack of length keep this sword from being deadly sharp.
