Description

Lush Environments, polygonal goodness shaped into a heavenly body, massive armies of soldiers makes for what you would except to be a impressive game. Playing through Heavenly Sword, I can only say that I was disappoint with this product. Not because the game was not entertaining and fun, but more because the game never showed its true potential. It is beyond me why game developers never look at the progress that other developers have made in this genre. As a combat platformer this title could learn so much from games like God of War and Tomb Raider. That stuff aside "HS" sets a new standard for cinema story telling in gaming, which in my opinion one of the best and colorful bad guys in film or games. Other notable feature include great use of the motion controller functions of the PS3, event-based game play, and the ability to play other character in the story arc. Be prepared however, this game can be beat in one sitting and offers very little replay value. I think of Heavenly Sword as that one game you play when you have beating everything else. Fun, entertaining, but just not enough to gain front-row in my entertainment center stack.
