Official Heavenly Sword (PS3) Gameplay thread...

I take it the final game is a LOT smoother than the demo?

Yes, I have only noticed juddering / tearing once in a whole two hour gaming session. Sounds like that they have indeed rectified the shortcomings found in the demo.

In regards to total playtime - I don't think it's gonna last more than 8ish hours. You can certainly progress through the game without achieving everything. That means it may be good for reply value to go back and re-do sections that were not completed.
 
Having a nightmare on the final boss battle. Just cant beat him :( Get him down to about 1/4 health on the first bar before getting killed.

I'm there too, the first bit isn't too bad once you get to dodging his long range attacks, he's pretty poor up close if you're quick.

I've had one go at the second bit of the fight and got very few hits on him, the long range attack is very tricky to avoid and up close he seems to block everything :( I may have to search for a guide...

Seems just about impossible to me. On the second bit now, can knock him down to about a 1/4 health and then its goodbye from me. Getting a little frustrated now :(

Got this today, impressed so far. Great presentation, graphics and sound both excellent, gameplay wise very rewarding if you plan your moves and try to be as stylish as possible the counter system is also well implemented.

I can see how this game would get repetitve, but I would say it is worth finishing.
 
Just rent it, it's pretty short.
I've got it in my SG list.

Hey Nokkon,

Just signed up to Swapgame. Got heavenly sword in my rental list, how long does it usually take as its on "Save Now" status.

Im on the 10 day trial at the moment, is it normal for swap game to debit £10 from my card? Not sure it is actually SG but after i signed up my internet banking went down £10. Doesnt say who has done it yet.

Cheers.

Josh

Argh Josh, I could have gotten a free month from you! lol.

Swap Game are always very good, they generally send one (or more depending on rental scheme) immediately.

It's normally a 3 day turnaround from sending a game back to recieving a new one which is excellent. I've never really struggled to get a new game, I got DiRT and The Darkness as soon as they came out.
 
I'm thinking of trying Swapgame, Lovefilm are good but i've had GRAW2 as the only priority on my list since its release and still haven't had it.
