Heavenly Sword Review: Not so heavenly
Morrius \| 9:27 AM on 08.31.2007	12 comments

The guys and girls over at Eurogamer have posted this review of heavenly sword. I was secretly hoping this would be an excuse for me to buy a PS3, but alas it seems not. Their review mirrors IGNs closely, but unlike IGN I generally find Eurogamer reviews to be pretty agreeable and trustworthy on the whole. I'm sure these scores will be a disappointment to many, and fanboy ammunition for others.

So, what does this mean to everyone? Who was looking forward to this, and will you still buy it now it's been outed as merely above average? If not, will you pick something else up instead? Does every game on your shelf need to be a classic, or will you buy something with an average score if the premise or gameplay interests you? And who is Eric Cartmans father?

Discuss.

I didn't even know it was coming out now. It had such big hype around it early on but seemed to sort of putter out, maybe getting lost in the hype of Bioshock, Corruption and Halo or maybe because it turns out it isn't that good. Sad.

The controls on the demo were horribly laggy. I was hoping this would be a game to buy. Guess I should buy Warhawk soon so I can at least have 2 PS3 games. (LOL.)

Wow this is weird, most of the Highly Anticipated if not all of the games for PS3 are getting 7's across the board
Very sad.

This makes me sad, the game looks so beautiful it sucks that the gameplay falls flat. I am sure I will still give it a try though, I have been known to buy worse games...lol

Rockvillian

I love being right! I'm gonna go reward myself with a donut.

bhive01

I'm still buying. 7/10 is good enough for me. I like teh pretties.

Morrius

@ bhive01 & Virtualgirl - Those are fair answers, let us know what you think. Anyone decided against buying it after seeing these scores?

Juggernaut I find the below comment offensive and racist.

"it seems the ps3 is made of snails rusty pales and puppy dog tails."

bhive01

LOL @ snail.

I'll try and post my thoughts when I get it, but I'm sure someone will beat me to it. But, I'm pretty sure I'm getting this the day it's released. If I can find it. Gainesville for some reason is the black hole of videogames. I go home to KC an I can find Wii's and all sorts of things that haven't been seen locally since release.

kawitchate

hell i've ALREADY bought it (preorder) so i'll let you all know how it is.
