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.

100 / 100

1 - Somone help me

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

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.

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.

3.2 - Did they actually play it?

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.

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!!!!

Can someone tell me (and i'm not wanting to start a fight here) is Too Human a similar sort of game to HS but with an RPG element thrown in?
Or am I not understanding either game properly.

They don't exsist. If you can't find any faults with a game then you probably aren't looking. Reviews that give perfect scores most often lack depth. Nothing against HS, I'd say the same thing about Halo, Bioshock, or Gears.
