| Features:
| • | The Heavenly Sword itself can transform into three distinct weapons, each with its own accompanying fighting stance used by Nariko to vary combat styles. | | • | The combat engine can scale up from sophisticated one-on-one encounters to one-on-many, where enemies employ intelligent squad-based dynamics, right up to combat against battalions pushing real-time gameplay and (AI) to unprecedented new levels. | | • | The physics-based combat allows players to sweep debris against opponents, kick tables to halt an oncoming surge of fighters, smash the enemy into the scenery, or throw bodies into other enemies using “aftertouch” controls. | | • | Heavenly Sword provides a wide range of objects & weaponry including rapid fire crossbows and massively damaging bazookas. | | • | Coupled with real-time story evolvement and amazing set-pieces, Heavenly Sword feels like a blockbuster action movie that takes combat gameplay to new heights. |

 Simple Wow and YES! November 17, 2008
It's been about 3-4hours since I played..and I can't let the controller go..
Simple amazement and I was kept telling myself, "After this chpater, let's turn off the ps3..." but I couldn't.
Story, Graphics, Easy controls, Innovative fighting scenes, and more.
It's really cheap to get HS now, so get it, and enjoy it!
:) so glad i got this game!!
 I Hated It November 10, 2008

So... I was looking forward to playing this, but I hated it. Hated. Loathed. I got so frustrated with it that I took it out of my PS3 and threw it on the ground and let it lay there for a few hours. The stupid throwing of the disk to hit the gong thing is so frustrating, I don't care who says it just takes a while to get used to. It's annoying - and I never got used to it. There's no meat to the game, it's just this weak storyline with freakishly sadistic characters -- all of whom I could care less about. Usually, despite any form of annoyance or stupidity, I play the game till the end. But not this time. I think I'm on the last level anyway- I hear there's only 6? Short (but at the same time way too long). Well... I'll watch the ending on youtube. I'm sure it won't blow me away.
On the upside, the graphics are pretty. But, I just started Uncharted: Drake's Fortune which completely blows Heavenly Sword out of the atmosphere, hands down. So... eh... it's a double negative from me.
Short and sweet! October 26, 2008
I don't play video games that often but I do own a PS3. Let me tell you this game is just spectacular! It's like being in a movie, and you get to play the lead! The graphics, the storyline, the martial arts moves, the musical score, and the gameplay are just stunning. It's my favorite game of all time. I'm crazy about Nariko now! =)

I played the Japanese version of this, but except for the menus, I assume it's identical to the American version, including the excellent English voice acting. That, along with the gorgeous visuals and the very cool special moves, are the good parts of the game. Unfortunately, the game is stuffed chock-full with frustration.
First of all, it's a button-masher--you will find yourself wondering over and over, "Why do I have to press the X button a thousand times when I could have just pressed it once to open that gate?" or "What is the point of having a little Dance Dance Revolution pattern minigame that does nothing but undercut what would otherwise be a terrific dramatic moment?" A game ought to suck you in with the fun, not exhaust you mentally and physically for no good reason, leaving you with a throbbing thumb and forearm, and a simmering sense of frustration.
Speaking of which, the puzzles are, with a few exceptions, just bad. A couple of them are fun, but they are all dumb-as-a-rock simple, and yet often frustrating due to poor button-mashing choices on the part of the game designers. I often wondered why they even bothered with a puzzle at that particular place in the game. All it did was slow things down and annoy the player.
Story-wise, there are some great moments, and some really awful ones where I would just go "Oh, come ON!" I don't mean awful in a good way--I'm all for tragic drama in a game--I mean awful as in making you feel cheated, or awful as in stupid.
Characters are largely interesting, and I positively loved Nariko and Kai at times--Nariko's facial expressions can send a chill right through you when she's angry, and Kai makes you want to cuddle and protect her, even though she's a total psycho. But with every major character, there are moments when they do something that rings false just to advance the script. And there are of course the dumb fan-service moments that seem so common in Japanese games.
So I would recommend this game only if you have a high tolerance for frustration--if so, it's worth enduring for the many good parts.
 So far, intersting October 21, 2008
Excellent deep Story
Its a Female hoo-haa
changing betwen characters is excellent
excellent graphics (DMC4 better)
shooting arrows and canons best ever seen
Compat style is good with alot of varities, but some needs to be change ( how the hell to do some combos by shaking the sixaxis)
Lack of jumping
some missions are very short
somtimes alot of animes which thay are stupid
I think the game should be done using GOD of WAR Engine, or DMC, it will receive better reveiws...
