[PS3] Heavenly Sword

The combat system is pretty similar in how it's combo-driven but that's about where the similarities stop. The sword itself changes into three different weapons each to tailor to a specific attack set.

I played through the entire game yesterday and while I fucking LOVE this game, it's so goddamn disappointingly short. It's a great little way to waste 6 hours but it left me wanting more so SO SO BADLY. This game looks great, feels like a dream and controls tightly and very fluidly. I especially love how they used the seemingly useless motion sensors on the PS3 control to give extra depth to the combat engine. Few things bring a smile to my face like hearing Kai yell "Right in the NOSEY!!" after having skillfully maneuvered an arrow through an enemy's skull using the motion controllers.

This game is basically orgasmic sex that didn't last anywhere near as long as it should have but I do recommend that everyone plays it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

OK... Let's put it this way. If I were to have orgasmic sex for 6 hours straight I, and whatever lucky lady was with me at the time, would probably want to pick up where we left off very soon until we either got tired of fucking all the time or the sex ended. I guess what I'm getting at is: As good as it was, Heavenly Sword doesn't give you that luxury of continuing and 6 hours is FAR too short for sex this good.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actually, Ninja Theory announced that an entirely trilogy was written for this storyline so we may see another two games for this story and, quite frankly, I hope they get made. I also hope it sees release on other systems because I don't wanna buy a PSTRIPLE just to play a trilogy of 6 hour games. I ain't rich.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
