Excellent

It's that good

While some of the people who have written reviews for this game complain that it is too short, I say no. I think that the length of this game is perfect. We know that it is part of a trilogy, and we all know that the goal of any good movie/game/book, is to leave us clamoring for more. I want to have something to look forward to and Heavenly Sword has done that.
So what makes this game so great? Well, everything that all the other positive reviewers have stated. The graphics are amazing, the ambient sounds come through so clear and life like that sometimes I felt as though I was actually there (a little hokey I know but true).
The story line had me hooked from start to finish and that does not happen very often. My mom stopped by for a little while while I was playing and just sat on the couch watching me play for a good half hour. She asked me if I have seen this all the way through yet, as if it were a movie.
The only reason this game did not get a ten is because of a few glitches that I noticed. And though these glitches did not hinder the game play in the least bit, they were enough to throw me out of "being in the game" for a few minutes.
I would recommend you rent this game, play it all the way through, enjoy it, and then go out and buy it. The only way great games like this get to tell their complete stories, is if we go out and spend some money. If for nothing else, you get to show off how sexy the game looks to all of your 360 friends.

This game was a lot of fun but I beat it easily in one day. It would be a 9 or 10 if it had been longer. The graphics were beautiful and the game play stays exciting (It varies from sword fighting to shooting arrows or cannons). There are very cool villains and characters. It is a great rent.

First off this game is very easy to get started. You pick up the controls for the game almost instantly. It's deep combat system mixed with some very fun and interesting alternative missions, give this game the exact future description of the PS3's games.

Though the game is a bit short the story and gameplay make it all the worth it. The acting in this game made it so enjoyable, you'd think you were watching a best-selling blockbuster movie. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and there were some points where I was so locked into the story, I felt as though if one mistake were to happen, it'd shatter my entire look upon reality.

The game gets it's intense moments that make you want to just replay the part again to just relive the experience. This game was definitely worth the buy, and to rent it would only be good if you would like to just play through the game.

HellMode is something I would encourage all to play, after completing the game, for it not only tones your skills, but it makes you feel as though you're accomplishing more than what you did in normal mode. HellMode feels like you're playing an entirely new way to play since it actually forces you to watch your surroundings, instead of just going through, killing everyone.
