Brief synopsis of Heavenly Sword

Emotionally charged, stunningly beautiful and delivering unprecedented dramatic character performance, Heavenly Sword showcases the power of Playstation 3. A dramatic tale of revenge sees Nariko, a fiery red-haired heroine embark on a quest for vengeance against an invading King and his army. The story builds around the ancient Heavenly Sword which once belonged to a powerful deity. It can never be wielded by a mortal without it draining their life-force, killing them within hours. When the invading King (played by Andy Serkis) destroys the warrior clan that guards the Heavenly Sword, the clan leader's daughter, Nariko, takes up the sword in a desperate fight for survival. Nariko must now pay the ultimate price as she embarks on one last mission of vengeance against the King and his army before her life is finally drawn to a close...

PS3 has stepped up

Kopite33 from Bristol , 14/09/2007

The Playstation 3 is finally proving it's better than the rest with this stunning new game. The graphics are like nothing I have ever seen before - simply amazing. The storyline is great and was written by Hollywood scriptwriters! Gameplay is great and has three styles of attack: range, power and speed. It involves using a mixture of these attack styles to beat hundreds (yes,hundreds!) of enemys at a time. Sixaxis is also used in the game to control 'aftertouch' which involves steering thrown items (knives,axes,people and the highly powerful blast cannon) using the controller. Many people have compared it to God of War, which, despite being a great game, comes nothing near to Heavenly Sword. The soundtrack is also quite good.
