xenomorpher Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I thought the demo was pretty fun. A little short, but I like how you have the interactive cut scenes where you were running across the rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I was less than impressed. The extra bits of the stances just seemed to mess up the button mashing/hacking vibe. I was also underwhelmed by the tiny battle arenas. It reminded me A LOT of Urban Reign and Death By Degrees. And it didn't seem to do anything that Dynasty Warriors doesn't do better. It was passable, the main flaw as far as I was concerned were the episodic fights and moving from one tiny battlefield to the next. I much prefer the free roaming nature of the Dynasty Warriors games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I thought the Heavenly Sword demo was pretty fun, even though it was incredibly short. The combat system is pretty deep. I like the variety of attacks and the way you can counter-attack. I played through the demo a few times just to try different attacks, and they are a lot of fun to do. It's nice to have a game that is more than just mindless button mashing like Dynasty Warriors. Also, even though it's not long enough to reveal much of the story, I already like it more than God of War's (if kill everything counts a story that is.) If anyone is interested in pre-ordering this, Family Video has it for $49.97 and $0.99 shipping. If it's still in effect, new customers can use the 'NEWPGMEM' coupon code for another $5 off. http://shop.famvid.com/catalog/product_inf...ducts_id=276189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) I'll have to try this demo out tomorrow. I like this type of game I found out after playing through Dynasty/Samarai Warriors and 99N on the 360. I am probably one of the 7 people that actually enjoyed the hell out of 99 Nights. This game is a PS3 exclusive...Is that right? Edited July 31, 2007 by moycon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManShowBoy Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I won't be buying it so that should tell you how I feel about the demo. Sure it looks fantastic but the game just isn't fun to me.....at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link and the coupon code. I like God of War...one of the best action games ever (besides Ninja Gaiden Black). So I probably will like this game.

moycon Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 it seemed like it took longer to download and install than it did to finish? Well I kicked it off at around 10:30...It's now 11:30 and only 65% done. Hopefully I'll be able to try this demo out in 30 minutes or so.

moycon Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Tried it out. The demo was awfully short but pretty much what I expected. If you're a fan of this type of game you'll probably eat it up. Personally I thought 99N was funner, but like I said, this demo was very short and I really couldn't determine much other than it was a standard butten pusher with cool little moves you could pull off every now and again. (As per usual) I'll be sure and get this if it's an exclusive since I am definately in the "eat em up" crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Demo was alright but I was't blown away, nor did I have a "I gotta get this!!" moment while playing. BUT.... where the hell is the jump button??? I, for one, missed it. Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
