To hell with those stupid 6/10 reviews of Edge and PSM or EGM's 8/10. This video alone warrants 1000/10 IMO. God, I love this game.

The problem with N3 is that all of the characters are reserved to one type of movement and they are carbon copies of each other. N3 is a good game but the difference here is the level of detail on each enemy.

I'm not saying that they are all unique but there are way more versions of enemies in Heavenly Sword than in that fight sequence that you posted.

Not a fanboy, but just want to get it right.

The prob that there are no 1000 in N3 in sight. As far as everyone noticed the distance of view in this game is very short - 10 meters (relatively to the game scale) not more - everything else is 'fogged'

Agreed with Dr Pepper. They were zombies and they had to be dumb. Still, they would eat Frank alive in crowds.
I love Heavenly Sword but before that, I'm a Dead Rising die hard fan. Now if only Frank and Nariko could meet somewhere...

The difference is that the zombies in Dead Rising are'nt all generic as the enemies in the Heavenly Sword clip. They all look the same.

6.1 - Beauty, yes; Gameplay, no

According to the reviewers who are giving HS lower scores (6/10, 7/10), graphics are not the issue. And obviously from this video you can see that the graphics are incredibly impressive. The issue has been gameplay. So if you like pretty graphics but the controls are wonky, then go for it. If you like tight controls along with good graphics, then maybe this isn't for you. I downloaded the MoH: Airborne demo and had the same issues (graphics look great but the controls felt far too loose to me).

Comparing N3 (99 Nights) to Heavenly Sword is like comparing Hour of Vicotry (Worst 360 title yet) to Call Of Duty 4.

11.2 - OMG y'all need to stop.

I played the demo for 99 nights and it sucks, the only people who are comparing it with Heavenly Sword are the people who didn't play the HS demo. The fighting style suits well with all those characters on sceen, they have their different attacks and different blocks.

11.3 - I can see the comparison to 99 nights but..

99 Nights didn't have the kill animations this one does.. That's what really catches my eye, when you do a combo and the camera pans out a bit and it's like a quick cinematic.

Kameo (launch day title) on 360 has 1000 enemies on screen at once with all the trolls and that was hella fun slaughtering them by the truckloads.

that looks like a lot of fun! My only question is: how long is that going to be fun for before it gets redundant? I can't imagine after killing 500 enemies in the same however many ways, I'll want to kill another 5000. But this is all just speculation, I hope they prove me wrong.

Wow. The difference between this and games like dynasty warriors is you can see the enemies really swarming around looking for their opening. Unfortunately for them they're just over matched.

Not to mention this game actually has a deep combat system and is not just hack and slash as some would have you believe.

Well spoken.
Dynasty Warriors is a mindless button masher that hasn't changed since the first game on PS2 and last gen in both gameplay and graphics.

Heavenly Sword is a state-of-the-art next-gen game with deep and beautiful combat and stunning and varied enemy animations and movements. All those Keoi "Warriors" games like Samuari Warriors 360, Dynasty Warriors 6 (PS3/360) and BladeStorm (360/PS3) look and play the same way their last gen versions did.

I don't think you have to kill all the soldiers. I think this is the very beginning of the game where Nariko dies. You can see and hear from the video that she is slowly dying because of the sword.

You can fight and kill upto 2000 in the same battle as the game progresses. It's not just that begining scene :)

Plus you'll also be able to see most of the bodies pile up - about a 1000 i think fully ragdoll bodies :P

18.4 - ---JokesOnYou--- dude, chill out,

though you got one thing correct, you haven't played the game.
Most of these video captures are made with God mode on, surely you must know that. This game also has heaps of combo moves, much more depth that any hack and slash.

Also I can't get into GoW, it didn't do it for me, doesn't mean it's bad, me friends love it - no offence just an opinion.
