22 minutes of Heavenly Sword

This game looks frickin good. Lots of details in it. Kinda reminds me a bit of God of War. Definately looking forward to seeing how it all turns out (when I ever decide to get a PS3).

I saw this today on TV. TBH i don't see what it's all about apart from you being in control of a woman who is capable of fighting entire armies. At least that's what the footage shows.

Can't see anything else that you have to do. It reminds me of Kill Bill when she fights all those bodyguards with her sword.

Yep good stuff.

Generic big breasted female protagonist + generic large fantasy swords + generic fantasy setting + generic bad guys = yawn.

Someone needs to go back in time and off Tolkein...

Impossible. For he is a God.

Yep good stuff.

No, it's not 'good stuff' - it is one of the reasons why media critics continue to dismiss games as being of interest only to nerdy teenagers.

I like code.

That's just great.

No they haven't. And yes its good stuff.

So we all agree that it looks a bit bland, unoriginal and rubbish then? Great!

I love it, its like gears of war, a new breed of arcade game, perfect for console. Didn't notice any large breasts either.

If you want to stay in 1980 with your [EDITED] pacman clones then great.

Well that's just completely missing the point.

Not really. Pushing the point far, perhaps. I'll clarify:

Its a console game, and consoles are the new arcade machines. You don't look for depth or strategy much when buying a PS3.

Its basically hollywood blockbuster faire so I'm really just annoyed with JustLuke's commentary. Its like walking into swimming baths and saying "huh its all wet, rubbish!"

Thats the problem with some people. If a game doesn't float their boat for whatever reason (being it on a particular platoform, style of game, visuals, characters, storyline), its all "generic rubbish".

Needless to say, I think the game is good stuff :)
