User Rating: 7 | Heavenly Sword PS3
Heavenly Sword is the latest attempt by Sony to bring a truly great new franchise to the PS3. While it is certainly a fun game, it falls far short of greatness. The graphics for the most part are beautiful, a few frame rate hiccups don't ruin the experience. But like GS says, the bad guys are too generic and not at all varied. Essentially, once you've played the first 30 minutes, you've played the entire game. Unfortunately, this is almost literally true as well, as Heavenly sword can be finished in 5 or 6 hours...less if you're a very skilled player.
Essentially, Heavenly Sword is the ultimate rental...it is fun, but in no way is it worth $60.
So, once again, Sony fans are left begging for a truly great game to hold up against the Xbox 360's big hitters like Gears of War and Bioshock. WIth no other highly anticipated releases due until 2008, it may be quite a wait.
