Heavenly Sword for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

In Heavenly Sword you play as Nariko, a warrior charged with guarding the Heavenly Sword, but when the evil king, Bohan shows up, she is forced to use the blade to try and save her father and clansmen.

This is game is flat out amazing, the graphics are extremely well done. I was amazed at how well the designers were able to convey emotion on the characters faces.

The voice actors on this are great, Andy Serkis makes the villain King Bohan seem so real (quite possibly my new favorite video game villain), in fact, these are the first video game characters that you may actually care about. The environments are unique and fun to play through, the enemies are fun to fight and the bosses are quite a challenge.

The music is very epic and well done. The gameplay is also very fun, you choose between three fighting styles, power (slow, but strong) speed (medium strength, medium speed) and range (hits multiple enemies fast, but doesn't do much damage) the styles themselves can be interwoven in combos.

Overall this game is tons of fun, and while short, I think you will agree that it was the perfect amount of time, and the story couldn't have been extended out without seeming monotonous. At the very least, this game is worth a rent, but definitely worth buying if you love action games with perfect presentation that could rival a Hollywood blockbuster movie.

This game has some of the best acting I have seen in almost any media. The story and character development kept me wanting to play more. The developers did a really good job in intertwining the action with the story and it never felt disjointed. I really wish there was a button to block instead of it just being automatic, but you really didn't notice since the attack controls were so fun and fluid to pull off. If you love great stories and killing a BUNCH of enemies with flair, play this game
