The Sunday Times: "Heavenly Sword is a combat-based epic similar in style to the classic God of War PS2 title... At first glance the game appears to be the masterpiece that the PS3 has long been crying out for."
"The characters look great, the swordplay is spectacular and its eastern-flavoured locations are cinematically displayed. The gameplay, however, lacks intensity and sophistication... Despite its flaws, Heavenly Sword is marvellous entertainment."
Score: 4 out of 5 stars
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Its funny how people say this games isn't a AAA title.
This game is so damn awesome, it's messed up that Bioshock was so short and everyone is on its jock but Heavenly Sword is short and it's so bad becuase of it? I hate PS3 bashers.
NINJA THEORY WE NEED SURVIVAL MODE AS DOWNLOADERBLE CONTENT.OR U COULD CREATE ANOTHER DIFFICULTY MODE THAT LET US FIGHT WITH 3X THE NUMBER OF ENEMIES TO PROLONG THE PLAY.AS A MATTER OF FACT GIVE US A CHEAT WITH UNLIMITED HEALTH AND UNLIMITED ENEMIES IN THE ARENAS.IN ACCOUNT THE GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN RATED 9.9.BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE DLC TO PROLONG THE PLAY.THERE WERE SOO MANY BEAUTIFUL ARENAS AND PLACES THAT I HAD LOVE TO FIGHT BUT SIMPLY THERE WERE NOO ENEMIES.SO NINJA THEORY WITH THIS HUGE ENVIROMENTS AND ARENAS WE NEED SURVIVAL MODE OR ANOTHER DIFFICULTY MODE THAT TRIPLES THE NUMBER OF ENEMIES,LIKE FOR INSTANCE ON THE LAST HUGE BATTLE IT WOULD BE 1500 INSTEAD OF 500 ENEMIES.SURVIVAL SURVIVAL.AWESOME GAME INDEED,WORTH THE MONEY,ANYONE WHO RENTS IT WOULD REGRET BCOS O FUTURE DLC.
WHY is it that PS3 games just dont friggan run smooth?
During CUTSCENES ... the game gets choppy.
Its just annoying.
The game does some things so right ... but the *little* things that it does wrong (ex - framerate drops, audio cutout, and the occassional really dumb 'lets just stand here in a group and not move and get our asses beat' AI ) just really hurt the game.
I dont know about it being 6 hours ... I've been playing for about 4 hours (just met/beat Whiptail for the first time) and it dosent *feel* like the game is close to being over.
Im off to help the old man cross the bridge now ...
there is your answer
