- Wide range of Objects & Weaponry: Heavenly Sword provides a wide range of objects & weaponry including rapid fire crossbows and massively damaging bazookas.
- Creative in-game Cinematography: 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.
- PlayStation 3: Greater processing power on the PS3 enables more immersive visuals and sound effects in Heavenly Sword, heightening the character performance and combat within the stunningly beautiful environments.
Emotionally charged, stunningly beautiful and delivering unprecedented dramatic character performance, Heavenly Sword showcases the power of Playstation 3. 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 draining their life-force, killing them within hours.
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 drawn to a close...

Graphics very well even if this is one of the very first ps3 games(unreal 3 graphic engine).Music and sound effects very nice.Control is easy and quite good battle system although you can kill most enemies with 2-3 combos.Story is very nice and i can say voice acting is one of the best in my opinion.6-8 hour game.The last boss fight could indeed be less difficult but bosses must be a bit hard.Well for this price you get an excellent appetizer for God of War 3 but in sexy outfit.
A nice distraction

After finishing it, and boy it made me sweat! I can easily recommend this game to others who are searching for a good distraction from boredom. Graphics, gameplay and storyline are top-notch and the crew behind-the-scenes made a charming work that really makes them proud.
So why 4 stars? I admit that some stages are a real pain in the ass, especially when there is Kai and her aftertouch. The final battle with Bohan will frustate you to the point you will want to quit the game once and for all. I was going to do that but then I learned a trick or two (which of course I'm not going to reveal!) and the villian crept under my feet.
Don't let me put you down. If you're ready for a challenge, this game belongs to you.
Decent but could've been better than decent!

I find this game to be avenge at best imo. The graphics is good and has alright gameplay but I think this type of game which is make it like FF & all that has been done hundred times. Some succeed, some don't and I think this is 50:50 on both. At times this can be good but at times it could get boring in places. So yeah I only recommend this for rental.
