PSU Gives Heavenly Sword a 9/10 "Masterpiece"

The environments, cast, characters, storyline, and virtually everything in Heavenly Sword is astonishing. While there are some minor negatives, players should be prepared to experience a spiritual disclosure with Ninja Theory's latest masterpiece.

Pros:
* + Unforgettable atmosphere combined with ample replay value.
* + Beautifully detailed with everything in harmony from animation all the way to the audio system.
* + Great combat system complimented by impressive A.I

Cons:
* - Enemy models can sometimes get repetitive

change the score to 9.5

I am so happy . 2 back to back AAAs for PS3 .

WOWHAWK and HEAVENLY SWORD .

PS3 now has 6 brilliant games --RESISTANCE,MOTORSTORM, WOWHAWK,NGS ,Heavenly Sword and VF5

great time to own a ps3!!!

ON the other hand trash box 360 owners like ISAY,KNIGHT,MART and TOUGHNAME would remain satisfied with GARBAGE CARTOON GAMES like HALO3 and MAss effect

blusoops6055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

I thought the AI was very impressive, particularly when playing as Kai and you are shooting arrows...the bad guys practically dive out of the way in order not to get hit and react differently according to where you hit them!
For Example: You shoot someone in the face...instant death. You shoot someone in the leg, and they'll still be alive and alert others that "I'm hit". Impressive!

SuperSaiyan46055d ago

Shame the game flopped, how many did it sell? 1000 copies at best?

KratosKilla6055d ago

Maybe it would sell more than halo 3 if they made a Nariko Soft drink and a Kai funny Bow Happy time. Maybe we could also put more ads out than they do for the super bowl. It will sell over a million.

mighty_douche6055d ago

couldnt put it better myself!

bubble coming your way!

Blasphemy6055d ago

I have to say the game is amazing one of the best games I have ever played. I think IGN was just hatiing on PS3 with their review.

rusgreim6055d ago

OXM gives Halo 3 a 10/10!

Of COURSE PSU is going to give a high score.

Shock! Surprise! Astonishment!

Kyur4ThePain6055d ago

OXM will not give H3 a 10.
But, back to the topic (at least I HAVE the game, so I can comment on it, unlike some other people)...HS deserves much more credit than it has been getting. This game is a stellar example of production values. The acting is probably the best I've ever seen in a game, not to mention the motion capture for the cut scenes...the facial animation is incredible.
The game play is smooth, intuitive and fun.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro39d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7239d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_39d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga39d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2339d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200039d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin39d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole39d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix39d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198939d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198939d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds542d ago (Edited 542d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno542d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya542d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020542d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds542d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya542d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman542d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran542d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
