As good as it has to be.

Heavenly Sword is an unorignal, repetitive, short, and annoying game with mediocre controls, a iffy camera, and no jump button. But for some reason it still is one of the better games of 2007. The game keeps you extremely entertained throughout the entire experience. With gorgeous graphics (and main character, fun combat, and a interesting/fun crossbow section that was a little too long. The motion capturing and cinematics are jaw-dropping-ly good and seriously help you stay interested in the very "meh" story.

But most of all this game is fun. Throughout all of it's flaws I stuck with the game through the end because of that. I had fun. And I think that if you can look past a few small flaws you will have fun too.

I Havent Even Bought Yet...& I Luv It!!!!!!

Heavenly Sword seemed like it had so much promise according to early reviews but once I played it myself I was severely dissappointed. The gameplay is very repititive and bland. Characters in the game are horrible and the controls sucked. Not to mention the game, after I installed it, actually caused many bugs in my PS3 console. The PS3 had difficulty playing Blu Ray movies as well as other games and after I uninstalled HS the console went back to working perfectly. DON'T BUY!!!

Lots of Hype but only fun for an hour

I bought this game based upon the high review rating and then it got very old after an hour of "hacking and slashing". How long must we wait for more exlusives for the ps3? I'm wishing I had sold my ps3 for an xbox.

Pretty good game... PS3 needs better games though.

I don't know why this game got such good ratings. There are far better games out there. If you have a PS3 and like this genre then it will tide you over until something better comes along. The story is a bit weak and it gets tedious from time to time (throwing items to activate stuff). On the up side, it has wonderful graphics and the mechanics is better than most. The acting (voice) is pretty good - but I still could not get excited about this game. I'm 2/3 through it and am already loosing interest. :(

Good game, but not amazing

Fun however too short.
And I could be improved in many ways: Refined battle system, better puzles, etc.

Great Game

it has that lack of solidness that all new console game have. BUUUT is a very good action, game. lots of weapons? Chained swors, twin swords and a grand sword.. etc.awesome martial arts weapons handling.a beautifull NEO Cutting LARA character . incredible landscapes( i didnt like the flowing effect of her hair)but is a very good game considering it is part of the first ps3 generation. Is a Classic already,I should say, a must have. so you could say: Wach this.... this is how games looked like last year

- Great voice acting
- Engaging story and characters
- Beautiful cut scenes

- Massive battle sequences are impressive

Cons:

- Action gets repetitive

Nice concept, poor execution.

I cannot believe how many five star reviews this game has received. Have you people really played this?

I really wanted to like this game. But as I found myself quitting to play something else over and over, I never was quite sure if it was out of boredom from the repetitive gameplay, fatigue from the mindless button mashing, or nausea from the terribly over-acted voice work. It was dull, painful, repetitive and had a surprisingly shallow story throughout. The needlessly tacked on SIXAXIS elements were especially annoying.

I eventually did finish the game, but I didn't really care. I have never turned it on since.

Heavenly Sword wants very badly to be God of War. Unfortunately, it doesn't come close.
