Awsome graphics
I purchased this game on Black Friday for [...], what a steal!!! I can't believe this game has been out for 2 years and the graphics are still amazing! But there is one part in the game that I just can't seem to pass, which is the part where you have to destroy the 3 vehicles with the catapult. Can anyone help?

One Of The Best For The PS3
As said above this is one of the titles to get for the PS3 if your just getting the system. When I first got the game (when it came out!!) The graphics blew my mind, It was some of the best stuff I had seen on the ps3.
Gameplay its similar to the Devil May Cry Series. Its fun, especially Kai's parts with the SixAxis controller. I did however encounter one problem with this gem. When I hooked up my optical sound system, the game installed some patches. After it did that in some parts of the game the frame rate would drop horribly! (The game froze once) The FR drop only happend 5 times. Maybe a Firmware update would solve it?
Enough of that tho. This game is a must have. There is only one thing stopping it from getting a 5 Star....LENGTH! Heavenly sword has it all except it's short..very short, 1st play through took me 7.5 Hours, 2nd time around 6 hours.
It's just too bad that Ninja Theory is not making a sequel (It was in the works for a trilogy, in fact they had the story all written up, but they decided to can the other 2 Heavenly swords due to interest in making multi-platform games. Because sony owns the rights to the name they *may* make a sequel, but as of now don't hold your breath for it. T_T)

Amazing Game with Language options
I LOVE this game.. it is amazing .. the graphics.. the story line, the fighting scenes..
But what surprised me more than anything..
When I first put in the disk it gave me an option to select my language out of a long list of language choices..
I am german born and to have the treat to play this game in German just blew me away ..
LOVE it.. !!

Great Game, Not Much Replay
Well, for starters, I played this game with the after touch (moving your controller to guide projectiles) turned off, I found this made the game way more enjoyable.
The story line is pretty solid, needless to say you and your clan are on the run, and you have a serious piece of hardware in a melee weapon.
The game is split up into multiple little segments some of them playing out like a hack and slash, and others involving sniping with a series of crossbows, rocket launchers, and cannons. As per the norm there are a few time based puzzles (though they are not specfically labeled as such, they require alot of timing).
I found the game to be relatively easy, which is nice for a casual gamer, there is nothing more frustrating than not being able to get passed a specific enemy.
However, there are a few downsides to the game:
1. Very linear
2. Sometimes (albeit rarely) the camera angle gets in the way and you can not properly see a projectile you would like to deflect
3. No real replay value
4. No multiplayer
I would have liked to have seen some kind of co-op play, but it was not included with the game.
Overall though this is a very solid game and definitely worth a play through.
