Play Magazine Rates Heavenly Sword 100/100

Yes, thats right. Play Magazine has given Heavenly Sword an 100/100. Although onAXIS does not have the full review, they have this snipped from MetaCritic:

What MotorStorm has become to racing and Odin Sphere to action role-playing, Heavenly Sword is now to 3D action: Perfection. [Sept 2007, p.17]

When the full review is on the site, it will be posted.

barricade the door before they come in.

I think a lot of people who have not played this game too easily brush it aside.
Listening to the IGN podcast they seem very upbeat about War Hawk and Heavenly Sword.
Ive said it dozens of time, this game is the reason I bought my PS3, had it been exclusive to another console I would still be getting it there.

Now if i can only figure out WTF is "twing twang"

lol @ thereapersson
no one gets in without the password

Edit: I've got the secret weapon

thereapersson6100d ago

You seal the door, i'll board up the windows!

Whoooop6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

Don't forget to put some masking tape or something in the toilets, TROLLS will sneak through anything..

heh

SH*T... forget about it.. damn chimps are playing around again..

ALI-G6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

this is just crap.it not only pure rumor but made up story by BS3 fangirls who been crying for the past 48 becuase all of the kicks in the nuts they were getting.
anyway: i will give you this one : this game will make PS3 owners proud not becuse it will be just over average game but becuse the fact it will be the first non-port game in over 3 months or so.

EDIT:@BELOW :still did not work : anyway HS will be the first non-port game in 5 months not 3
100/100 some one getting paid

Xbox 360 Will6100d ago

XxZxX6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

Ps: WHat decomposing?? they are nothing left to decompose of.

PS-Wii-606100d ago

That'll send them all home!

Whoooop6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

I don't know why, but that's almost exactly the house I pictured in my mind...

and don't be fooled by the hologram of mart's avatar. He won't be near the house. He is relaxed far away in his troll horse sending the retarded troops..

no need to mention who these troops are! :)

UJUSTLOSTONE6100d ago

sonarus6100d ago

to be honest i didnt really enjoy the demo i was too pissed off at its length to really enjoy it but the combat system is well designed and the graphics are excellent. The story looks to bve top knotch and its already a confirmed purchase for me. I gotta get GRAW 2, Lair, Warhawk and Heavenly unfortunately i played the NCAA 08 demo and i liked it so much had to get that so looks like one of those games might drop from the list.

"What MotorStorm has become to racing and Odin Sphere to action role-playing, Heavenly Sword is now to 3D action: Perfection. [Sept 2007, p.17] "

Umm, yeah...That did'nt sound biased.

Let's wait and see what IGN and GS have to say. Not time to celebrate just yet even though I know how you love to cheer for nothing (ouch!)

e-ray6100d ago

For sure, Jenzo. If Motorstorm is perfect to them, then Heavenly Sword is definitely not perfect.

Don't get me wrong, I am very much looking forward to playing Heavenly Sword whether I buy a PS3 soon or not. It looks like a great game, but it's hard to attain perfection--I hope I'm wrong and it is perfect.

Snake_Doctor6100d ago

So far it has gotten a 9.6 from the polish mag and this right. Any low scores yet?

tplarkin76099d ago

How do these no-name reviewers get a copy of the game? They either made up the review or Sony gave them a copy knowing that they would favor the game. I'm NOT saying Sony "paid them off", just that they have a record of scoring games high.

the worst6100d ago

where the lagbox360 fanbox at

BIadestarX6100d ago

Non-Sony fanboys please ignore my following comments; it's only intensted to fanboys such as "the worst" that drop some flame bait.
(Heavenly Sword deserves the score. It's a great game.)
Sorry I had to.

To Sony fanboys:
You should be happy that at least 1 game on the PS3 is getting great reviews... Not as good as Bioshock ofcourse which happends to be an xbox 360 game.
Maybe xbox fans are just too busy looking at the scores bioshock is being getting... or ranting about warhawk and lair misserable score.

Azures6100d ago

Warhawk is a good game and you know it Blade, I've seen you comment about getting a ps3 simply to play it.

It needs to be judged as a multi player only game.

DrPirate6100d ago

Bladestar, you know I hate fighting, and I don't say this to rip on you.

I had Bioshock pre-purchased on Steam 4 days before it came out.

I own the game on PC and it runs great. Thanks.

nomuken6100d ago

ahahahahahaha. Thats what you call a review

BloodySinner6100d ago

Too bad you couldn't say the same about the Warhawk review.
Anyway, as for this review, it's pretty good. Now let's wait and see what the other gaming sites have to say about it.

TheMART6100d ago

Dude, still...

Warhawk sucked, Lair sucked...

And Play is giving 10's constantly. I'll quote some sites:

"According to the buzz zinging around video game forums online (it seems the original forum was GameFaqs), Play has rewarded Heavenly Sword with a perfect 10/10. Of course, this is one publication that has been known to sprinkle the "10"s about quite liberally, so perhaps it doesn't mean much"

http://www.psxextreme.com/p...

PLAY

wasn't that the mag that gave

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG for the 360 a 9.5???

Ah right, that respectable magazine!
Well hell yeah, if Sonic got a 9.5 I would give Heavenly Sword a 15+ at least!!!!

cartman3136100d ago

@ TheMART - You have played both Warhawk and Lair to know that they suck?
Lucky, wish I could live in your delusional little world and play video games before release.

vickers5006100d ago

@TheMart

How old are you? And tell the truth. I cringe at the idea that you are a full grown adult.

techie6100d ago

no This wasn't the play that reviewed Sonic as 95/100. There are two Play publications - a US and UK one. One reviewed Sonic as 9.5 - the other gave this review of HS. So back down.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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.

OtterX56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

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!!

Rude-ro56d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7256d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_56d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga56d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2356d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200056d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin56d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole56d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix56d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198956d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

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 😱

Michiel198956d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds559d ago (Edited 559d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno559d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya559d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020559d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds559d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya559d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman559d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran559d ago

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.
