Heavenly Sword

Shinobi Raianu · 09-11-2007, 11:01 PM

I'm about to own a PS3 soon, and the only game that caught my attention was Heavenly Sword. I'm not waiting for FF XIII or Kingdom Hearts 3, like my friends told me to do. So I was wondering if anyone has played this title yet, and tell me if the enjoy it or not.

Note: Do not spoil anything for me please.

I hear the game is quite good actually. Great voice acting, high production values, great graphics and gameplay. A good choice for a game. However...I hear its on the short side. You can finish the game in about no more than 10 hours. You can pretty much finish this game in less than a day. o.O
If you're willing to shell out 60 or so dollars for a game that can can be finished in one afternoon, go for it. Its a great game by all means...too bad its so short. >.>

On another note, you can also try getting your hands on Ninja Gaiden: Sigma. It's a really good game and its much longer than Heavenly sword. ^^

Well, I wouldn't exactly say Ninja Gaiden: Sigma is "MUCH" longer than Heavenly Sword. Ninja Gaiden: Sigma has more content(those damn annoying missions) which makes up for its replay value as well as longevity. Story-wise both are just at equal lengths.

Ninja Gaiden is definitely a must buy. If you owned and played the Ninja Gaiden Black, then I just recommend renting it instead of buying. But in all honesty, Ninja Gaiden: Sigma is worth the money. If you invest your time with this game, you'll definitely going to be a better gamer.

Just like the rest of Team Ninja's games, Normal difficulty is like between earth and hell, hard is the hell, very hard is the flame of hell, master ninja difficulty is deeper beyond hell. I personally finished hard lately and still struggling to pass chapter 2 in very hard. The game has no room for errors as your difficulty level goes worse. There is a Ninja Dog difficulty but it's just about having less damage(which isn't so noticeable), cheaper items, and higher probability of acquiring good items(which again, isn't really noticeable from normal).

Top of that, after you unlock certain things, once you begin a new story, you start from scratch. You never carry on the things you acquired from previous game-play.

Heavenly Sword, on the other hand, is a bit easy. I am still on chapter two so I have no idea if the game gets more difficult as you progress. But as far as I have made my way through the stages, none is quite challenging. In fact, not that I am bragging, I only healed myself twice, one for Kai, and one for Nariko. The game is good cause you got multi-NPC's on the screen at the same time.

All in all I would say not to rely on what I said above(looks useless, huh?). I would recommend to play and see for yourself. LAIR got bad reviews and comments but it all boils down to how you play your game not how others will play the game for you.
