About the product

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 PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment 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. The story 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. <p/> When the invading King (played by Andy Serkis) destroys the warrior clan that guards the Heavenly Sword, the clan leader’s daughter, 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…

This game is awesome! I just found it on Amazon for like ...

August 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

This game is awesome! I just found it on Amazon for like $5 and picked it up. I saw on all the reviews, the game was short and didn't have a ton of content, so I knew that going in.

Characterization

Every character in this game is incredibly awesome. All the voice acting and facial animations during the cut scenes are incredible. The villains all have great character design, and equally awesome personalities. They're so funny, in evil ways, and their voices and animations make them feel like solid personalities.

Nariko is very comparable to a female Kratos. She is absolutely gorgeous and filled with rage most of the time. I love her character design. Her long flowing red hair is memorable, and her costume is sexy and revealing, giving us a peek of one ass cheek, a set of great legs and single sided cleavage, just to get our imagination wondering. Her eyes and facial animations, like all the characters, will make you fall in love with her.

Whiptail's design is also amazing. Her makeup, snake teeth, and fork tongue are really well done - creating a sexy, but frightful villainess. As all the boss characters, she has some really wicked lines. You'll also notice when all the villains are laughing together, her laugh is actually more of a hissing through her teeth, very cool!

Kai is Nariko's young ally friend. Again, awesome character design. Her facial makeup is unlike anything I've seen and her wide eyed personality, often not understanding the severity of what's going on, is really cute.

Bohan is everything a boss should be - ugly, sinister, remorseless and has a wicked sense of humor. Every cut scene he is in, had me laughing or just generally in awe of his evilness. Some of these reactions were simply in response to the faces he made. The facial animations are so good, he could convey so much personality without saying a word. Impressive.

Gameplay

The basic controls didn't take long to get used to, but it felt a little odd not having a 'jump'. Like God of War, it's easy changing your fighting style mid fight using the 3 different stances.

In conclusion, it's a very entertaining game and easy enough to play through and enjoy, even if just mashing buttons. In my opinion, the characters are reason enough to pick up this last gen title, which is also very affordable this long after its original release. Just know the content is limited - you'll complete the game within the first couple days of gameplay. The game was well worth the $5 I dropped on it.

Fun Fighting Game

May 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

We purchased this game for my daughter as the main character had red hair just like her. The game has really good graphics and plays well. It is a fighting type game but enjoyable by both boys and girls. I would suggest not small children play this due to the violence but for a teenager it is fine. The sword itself transform into three different weapons. In the game you not only have one on one fights but also group fights. The game was a lot of fun however after many hours of playing I did tend to get tired of playing the game.

sweet, but short

October 20, 2007

This game is a joy to play. The graphics are good on a Standard definition TV, but in HD they are on another level. For God of War veterans, don't expect the surface similarities to translate to the gameplay. GOW is agressive and overpowering combat, Heavenly Sword is defensive combat and counterattacking. So there is a learning curve with the gameplay. But if you hang in there you'll discover a deep combo system. That isn't necessary to proceed through the game, but still fun. Speaking of fun, I was hesitant and even frustrated with the side character Kai at first, but once I turned of the motion sensor for her parts I found "twing-twang" to be some of the best fun I've ever had playing a game. All in all there is a healthy amount of action. Some scenes blow anything from the Dynasty Warriors franchise, with what maybe (not like I have time to count) over a thousand warriors on screen. The bosses are all huge and in HD you have a new appreciation for the detail put into these main characters. Even the acting, which often is atrocious when it comes to video games, is superb. Andy Serkis really blows you away.

The only drawback I have about the game is the very short nature of it. There just simply isn't enough of a good thing. You do get to go back and play any chapter you've completed, even before beating the game, but you still want more. I guess that's a good thing. Here's to hoping there is a good long sequel, because more games of this calibur are needed on my PS3.

but it doesn't seem to hold up well or be too fun these days

Verified Purchase

My fiancee showed me this game, but I'm not a huge fan. She played it when she was younger so she has the nostalgia for it, but it doesn't seem to hold up well or be too fun these days. Graphics are iffy and the game's controls are clunky.

Throughly enjoyable, makes great use of PS3 controls

December 9, 2008

Verified Purchase

First off this is much more than just a sword/button masher game. It has a great story, beautiful graphics, an interactive environment, and it makes great use of the motion control sensors of the PS3. Best of all it is just plain fun, never boring.

I am about a third of the way through and it has taken me quite awhile. I was afraid of the 'value' since the CNET review say it isn't that long of a game, only a few hours. Well that person must have been on game steroids.

The 1up review point about the not so intelligent enemies is valid. But getting to master Nariko and Kai was fun nonetheless. Kai uses ranged weapons. Once you get the hang of it and using the motion detect of the controller you will have a lot of fun. And having to switch between them, switch between puzzle solving in the environment, and then fighting battles keeps the game moving along nicely. I see there is now a price drop on Amazon. I would say grab it if you have been holding back. Very engaging game. Well worth it.
