So gald they are continuing on with the franchise, the 1st was great on all aspects (apart from how short it was)

Lets just hope it hits in 2009 a long with God Of War III

Voice acting, cut scenes, combat... And the story was one for the video game ages. I think they will make to make the next one a bit longer, as that was pretty much the only complaint one could throw at this game.

nariko is so... sexy and kai is... disabled. I hope they make it longer and somwehow make nariko the character. Nariko's revenge. It would suck without her. If its a guy, it will be a god of war clone. and if its kai, well... twing twangapalooza. Bring nariko back or dont bring the game back at all! (Stupid sacrifice endings)

The first Heaven Sword game is short and sweet. It was the first PS3 game I played but left me wanting more, and I'm hoping to see another one!! :)

can't wait for the sequel, and yes it MUST be longer, atleast twice as long as the original.
A game that good deserves a longer play time.

1.I rather the game takes place from 100yrs to 500yrs but depending on who is the main character if its Kai just 10 years the third game could have a decedent of Nariko in modern times or the far future.

2.I rather the main character stays female for the whole trilogy, who ever they pick i think throwing in some hand to hand combat can be a good change of pace from time to time ^_^

3.If the game only takes place in 10 years then yes kai as a woman would be cool as long as she keeps a like able feminine personality. That was my only problem with nariko is that she has a masculine boring personality.

4. should retrieve the sword and learn different styles as you progress through the game

5. the controls needs to be tighten a little and I want to jump 0.0 Oh and it would be cool if you removed the gow style "press this button 2 do stuff" Instead during those scenario you have fixed button actions like square is block while triangle is attack x is jump 0 is special so you can have the same gow scene but without the button appearing on the screen

6. free and unlockable content maybe in the game extra maps or episodes should be downloadable.

7.keep destructible environments

8.a Strict story line is fine but trying a sand box type game play for a hack and slash would be unique.

Once upon a time this was my biggest reason to buy a PS3. When I get around to buying it this will be high on my list.

could make a big launch for god of war 3 by telling ninja theory to release HS2 alongside gow3.

It would be awesome, the game would be just awesome.

Please do something about the hideous load times in HS2. Also, make all the cut-scenes skipable. I know there is loading happening in the background of some but if you die and have to replay a section usually you have to sit thru a small but annoying cut-scene and playing the game on Hell mode it get's annoying quick.

especially the one with Roach- poor guy =*(. The story was great and the gameplay and length can only get better. Twing Twang FTW =)

I haven't bought Heavenly sword yet (I want to pay $60 for a 10 hour game) however I have played the demo and I LOVED it. I will eventually buy the game. My input is that I wish they would add some sort of RPG elements. Not necessarily stat building, but like obtaining new abilities as you gain superstyle points or some sort of experience bar. It would be cool to unlock new abilities for each weapon, including the downloadables, and to unlock new martial arts attacks as well.

The first game was a cinematic masterpiece! I felt so sorry for Roach =(

Bring back Andy Serkis (amazing acting in the game)
Bring back same composer (music was beautiful)
Twice as long hopefully
I really like the idea of multiple martial arts types and DL weapons
make main character female
let me jump

The first game had potential to be AMAZING OMG! but ended up being just great. Make this the game the first one could have been.
Allthough I think the end of Heavenly Sword has got to be one of my most memorable gaming moments. The final boss was one of the most amazing bosses evar IMO.

I hate how the first game didn't get the recognition it deserved. I'm really happy that they decided to add more destructible environments.It the one thing I always hated in hack n slash games is that there is hardly any collision and destructible surfaces. The first game had for the first time in a fighting game, advanced rag doll physics which never gets brought up enough IMO, and it made the game feel next gen.

Wow why is this story on here? It's duplicate from Kotaku's story - and then takes some of the QUESTIONS and turns them into facts. That's poor journalism at its worst.

I love the game, even though it was rather short. Part 2 should be a thumb blistering epic adventure, kinda like Devil May Cry 4

15 hours is all I need for this game. The first was good, but could have been great if it was a little longer, more replay value would have been nice also. A funny costume would have had me play the game a third time.(with a harder difficulty of course, Nariko must die comes to mind)

OH, and to all the peeps saying get rid of kai, choke on a fat one. Her sections kept me on my toes compared to Nariko.

@ GETPWNZORED:

You try to bash on Heavenly Sword by calling it "Lesbian Sword", but you're fogetting that MS tried the same thing with "Ninety Nine Nights". The only difference is that Heavenly Sword was enjoyable to play.
