God of What???
User Rating: 8.5 | Heavenly Sword PS3
PS3 has (unfortunately) not been able to display the huge amount of processing power packed underneath its hood...until recently. Heavenly Sword is quite possibly the most visually stunning game on the market to date. The back grounds are so stunning that you'll occasionally have to physically tear your eyes from the scenery just to fight the massive army in front of you. But don't think this means long loading times or glitches. But that is not all heavenly sword has to offer. When you play the first few levels you'll immediately notice the controls. They combine the total B.A.-ness of God of War with the quick, hack and slash of epic Ninja Gaiden Sigma. The story is pretty good but there's not enough twists for today's audience, unless you watch the animation series of the game (available on PSN). The major problem with the game is how short it is. The first 4 chapters can be beaten in 3-4 hours and the last chapter, which is pretty difficult at times, lasts maybe another 3. Multiplayer of some sort would be nice but I can't argue. All and all, Heavenly sword is action packed beat-'em-up that will make you forget all about God of War II.
