I finished the game last night. It is indeed short, but that's not the real flaw. I think they could've created some other game modes to increase replay value. I'd love they had made some kind of "Battle Arena Mode" where you could challenge all the bosses and maybe make them selectable in a multiplayer mode, perhaps some kind of tournament up to 16 total players and up to 4 fighters battling each other at once. I would play that stuff day and night! And if that's too complicated they could always make "Mission mode" Ninja Gaiden Black style, more shooting missions with Kai would be awesome. Overall, a good game. 8/10

A solid game. I didn't mind it's short length, it was a nice change from the rest of the games that I play that are so long. The Visuals were stunning and the gameplay wasn't as repetitive to me as some other people felt. By mixing up the button combos and order i found myself discovering new attacks and moves.

I thinks HS was more about getting the game down technically and visually, building the foundation. I think HS2 has the potential for greatness since they will be experienced. Allowing for greater variation of gameplay and depth. Really hoping for the sequel. (I think it will sell enough Worldwide) The Critic reviews were still pretty good, around 80/100 average.

Gameplay was solid, unlocking new combos more fun than many other games, it has an interesting enough storyline to keep you hooked to find out what happens next. The evil king is by the actor who was Golum right? It sure felt like him.

Unfortunately, I was stupid and got stuck on the level when Kai has to shoot a lot of assassins to save the old guy. And I forgot about the Aftertouch, that level cannot be beated without Aftertouch, and that feature alone is amazing on that level.

Onwards to more adventuring.

Actually Heavenly Sword is 6 chapters.

While Flying Fox is great, Bohan and Kai are better.

Really, really solid game... nah...It's much more than a solid game. It's an experience. Great visuals, music, gameplay, ... every feature of this game is great. Flying Fox is one of the best characters in all gaming history. Highly recommended. 10/10

Actually know-it-all leo-j the game has 6 chapters. I beat it in 5 hours and 23 minutes and i have to confess that if this game was like 10 hours it would be my all time favorite. The graphics are not nearly as good as the CGI but they are truly beautiful. 9/10 from me.

i meant i was merely on chapter 3 and intended to finish the game....which i didnt because Bohan is incredibly frustrating and i needed a break, haha....i havent seen anyone say it was only 3 chapters.

This game most definately deserves mid 8's, its a shame. however its fine since this website/forum has a terrible reputation anyways so seeing these types of scores wont turn off potential consumers form this great game, its mor eIGN that upsets me, but they are also quickly becoming a joke as well with their reviews across the board......i digress, HS is great im going to finish it today, im on the last part of Chapter 3, but I intend on going back to get 3 medals too for every level, hurray for days off!!!!

@night stalker

You just said you havent beat the game and think its short(wtf?).

I have the game

Graphics: Videos lie so much, this game looks better than anything Ive ever seen, remember the commercial in CGI it looks almost that good. Its amazing.

Length: If your an idiot that plays video games 24hours straight(like me :P) Then its about 7 hours.

Story: This is amazing just amazing, best story since kingdom hearts.

Still need to beat it, but it is a pretty good game. The animations, cutscenes, scenery, and voice acting in this game are some of the best I've seen. The gameplay was fun, but could get repetitive. It is also too short, and I feel some things in the story could have flowed better. Overall 8/10 =)

@Onimusha12....it really isn't a God of War rip. The fighting system is completely unique (neatest blocking system I've ever, ever seen in a game), the music better, and the graphics better. The story is completely different (not saying better, but good and different). You have 2 main characters to play as and Kai is as unique as it comes!
The only thing that God of War has up on this game is the SIZE of enemy bosses. The gigantic bosses of God of War can give it a more "epic" feel. Other than that, this game is everybit as good as God of War.

@Leo-J: If we were allowed to give it ratings, you would go berserk...

@Onimusha12: Seriously, shut up. I bet my account and my soul you've never played this game, so don't talk.

P.S. What do you all think of the yellow text against the dark red backdrop? Frankly, I think it looks too much like McDonalds, but I wanted it to match with the heading text.

Best ps3 game I've played yet...9.0/10.0

Amazing graphics, great gameplay, nothing is repetitive, Epic Story, Masterful Music. CG rivals a real movie (makes FF CG look poor). If this is what the ps3 has to look forward, things are definitely looking bright.

Only downside, it only took around 10 hours to defeat this game; however, there is immense replayability (especially if you want a 3 Glyph rank on each level).

If the stupidly short demo is anything to go by, this looks like it will be really good.

@justthatgamer. In belated response to your comment, yes I mean SSM. I like both the GOW and HS series and I thought they would be the best devs to do a sequel to HS (since the original devs are busy at the moment) and alternate this with the GOW series. My point was I would have preferred this over a prequel which will likely not get as many sales as the main series.

I also think you are a bit confused - you mention HS as being mediocre but then say that SSM could make it and potentially see 3M+ sales.

Because it still sold well and Sony happen to have the rights to the engine and IP. A quality sequel can be pumped out in 2 years or less.

@fauzman Who do you mean by 'they'? Sony Santa Monica? I'm guessing so otherwise why would you mention God of War: Ascension. Anyway God of War III is the most acclaimed and best selling game in the genre of all time so why would anyone want a sequel the the mediocre Heavenly Sword over a new God of War game? Maybe when SSM finish GoW:A they could make Heavenly Sword 2 a launch game for the PS4 as a teaser for what a next gen God of War game could be like. I reckon if Sony Santa Monica made Heavenly Sword 2 it would sell > 3 million.

Beautiful game. Enjoyable, because they mix it up between Kai & Nariko, and the story has really kept my interest. It's a very simple story, but the characterisation makes it stand out. Really impressed with this game, and saddened to hear that the sequel was cancelled. Maybe one day, far in the future...
