LOL - well.... I do speed. I was getting this game regardless

Amon37 · 08-20-2007, 09:25 PM

I was also getting the game regardless. Same with LAIR.

Count Zero · 08-20-2007, 09:29 PM

This game looks fantastic. I can't wait!

The Don · 08-20-2007, 09:38 PM

they could have rated this game a 2 and it would have no affect on me getting this game...

I liked the demo and thought it was great...

reminded me of God of War

I completely agree. I was hyped before the demo. Played the demo and immediately cooled off. But now I'm starting to warm up again. I'm hoping this game will be as awesome as everyone is saying it's going to be.

this site scores everygame high to be honest. Im stoked for the game, the demo at first was just average until i realized that it in reality isn't a button masher, you need to time til she is down with attack to press next one for the combo. Also, the depth of all the combos made me open my eyes to a different game after several times playing it.

Zarathustra · 08-20-2007, 11:12 PM

I think the game is gonna be good, not sure if I'll buy it, def renting it. I am going to buy Warhawk though.

it should be made by law that anyone who has an interest in games buy this game

i have never, ever been so impressed with a videogame in my life until i saw heavenly sword

the amount of detail that goes in this game is mindblowing, 10gbs of audio..thats more data than a full xbox 360 or wii game

Blackraven · 08-21-2007, 12:54 PM

Wow that's such a high score.

Heck, in a world where gaming review sites consider 7.0/10 as good, getting a 9.0/10 is already amazing.

This is indeed a surprising game. Should be interesting to check.

Don't take it seriously. Just laugh with it and move on.

Hi everyone.

EDGE gives Heavenly Sword 6/10. Those guys are at it again.

Good news: Warhawk got 8/10

Jodi · 08-24-2007, 10:38 AM

Would love to know what they were smoking while doing the review!

I hate to be the oddball of he group but what I saw on the demo, was style over substance. great presentation,nice visuals and the main character has some smokin moves but, she repeats them over and over and over again.With a short learning curve,fast action and a nice looking lead female charcter, this game will definitly sell. I just hope the full version is a lot more in depth. I reserved my copy a couple of weeks ago @ eb and I hope I wont be dissapointed

From the reviews, the game looked pretty good. Hopefully this game will do well, but I could be wrong.

She repeats the same moves because that is what you keep telling her to do. There are a ton of moves and combos she can do if you take the time to learn them. There are pages of control functions.

phranctoast · 08-27-2007, 01:36 PM

that reminded me of a post I saw ripping into GOW, and the poster was saying square, square, triangle, was the only movie. Of course its the only move asshat, if that the only move you're using.
