Heavenly Sword Review

hs.jpgHere’s something I have not done for a long time (a review, or post for that matter)

Anyway moving on…I just completed Ninja Theorys PS3 title Heavenly Sword and I must say it is one of the best PS3 titles I have played!

The game has terrific graphics, stunning artwork and superb character animation thanks to the use of advanced motion capturing comprised of 60 cameras, the very same technology responsible for gollum of lord of the rings, in fact Andy Serkis, gollum himself is dramatic Director and plays King Bohan in Heavenly Sword!

My favourite bit of the gameplay will have to be the use of the sixaxis motion sensing to guide arrows shot by kai (the crazy sidekick of Nariko) or objects thrown by Nariko, I think more games should make use of the sixaxis like this.

What isnt so good?

Well playing against the groups of bad guys in between the bosses does get a bit repetitive, though there are slight changes depending on the characters, button mashing for ages isn’t that fun.

I completed the game in about 3 days, I reckon it could be completed in one sitting, but don’t take that the wrong way, this is definatley a PS3 game worth getting.

We think this game deserves a rating of 9.5/10
