Heavenly Sword

By Sandor Hugert

This new game has just been released for the Playstation 3, and it’s really good.  The game is basically exactly like God of War 2, even some of the levels look exactly the same as in God of War 2.  I guess that this is a good thing, but it just sort of shows that makers of the game didn’t really have many new ideas to add.  The fighting in the game seriously looks exactly what you saw in God of War 2.  One really good thing about the game is the graphics, which must be some of the best graphics that I’ve ever seen.  The characters in the game are a little too bizarre for my taste, but I guess that the story line is acceptable.  You get to play with two characters, and the second one is really cool as she shoots these poisonous darts, which is really fun because while the dart is in the air you control its movement by rotating the controller.  This was probably the most enjoyable thing to do in the game.  The game itself was really fun and the graphics were amazing, but I’m just not sure if it was actually better than God of War 2 considering that basically all the ideas for this game came from there.

Score:  8 out of 10
