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.
Product Description: Emotionally charged, stunningly beautiful, and delivering unprecedented dramatic Character performance, Heavenly Sword showcases the power of the PS3 system,. A dramatic tale of revenge sees Nariko, a fiery red-haired heroine, embark on a quest for vengeance against an invading King and his army. Thestory builds around the ancient Heavenly Sword, which once belonged to a powerful deity. It can never be wielded by a mortal without it slowly, but inevitably draining their life-force. When the invading King (played by Andy Serkis) destroys the warrior clan that guards the Heavenly Sword, Nariko takes up the sword in a desperate fight for survival. Nariko must now pay the ultimate price as she embarks on one last mission of vengeance against the King and his army before her life is finally and irreparably overtaken by the omnipotent Heavenly Sword.

Rating: - I love this game
I must say, I tried the demo first and didnt like it. Then I traded my old Resistance Fall of Man with Heavely Sword and I love it. I dont think is as short as people say it is just tooo fun and time goes fast when a game is this fun. I really really like it. The characters, I mean, its been a while since I`ve had "feelings" for a video game character (last time was in Final Fantasy 7), but this time Kai just took over, she is just amazing, its just really cool.
Another thing I love is the language option, I am learning german and I just enjoy playing this game in german sooo much.
Anyway, my favorite PS3 title so far. Great game

Rating: - Is it me?
Maybe I'm just getting old. I have to admit, I'm 37, its 2008, and I only just recently aquired the means to get my long sought-after PS3. This game looked SO COOL that it was the first one I rented for my new console. I was very disappointed- but I have to say, it might just be me. For me, the controls and combos are clumsy and awkward, but I can see the potential. Maybe other gamers have the timing, memory, and refexes that are required to pull off some of these really cool moves- but I just don't get it. I like games where every combo has its purpose, and there's a purpose to every combo. With this game, every combo is equally pointless, and the controls are so counter-intuitive that even a cheat-sheet doesn't help. It also has one of the same problems as Devil May Cry 2: its very pretty, but the "camera" is so far away from the action you can barely see what's going on. My other issue with it is that it's a blatant rip-off of Prince of Persia and God of War. If you have played these two games don't bother playing this one because its just more of the same only not as elegant.
Rating: - enjoyable but short.
I'm in love with this game. superb graphics and storyline. I wish it was a bit long tho.
Rating: - 3.5 out of 5
Great graphics, innovative ideas, great characters, too short story, dialogue missing, repetitive at times.
