    Quite "Heavenly" Indeed.

    "Heavenly Sword" is not just an epic action game; it happens to be the best blockbuster popcorn movie to not come out in theaters. The graphics are amazing; truly some of the best PS3 has to offer. The acting is also good (though not without its corny-one liners), as is the simple yet captivating story. The game plays like a dream too; about as close as one can get to playing "God of War" without actually being Kratos. My only qualm is the super-short length of the game; it can be beaten in 10 hours, maybe less. But still, this is just like a good action movie- non-stop thrills that won't let you go until the tense ending.

      Much has been said about Ninja Theory's action-adventure starring the fiery red-head Nariko. Called a shameless God of War clone with roots going back to the days of the original XBox and reviews both amazingly positive and crushingly mediocre, Heavenly Sword has had a hard stand leading up to its release.The title's namesake, a powerful blade once wielded by a celestial hero and now guarded by a warrior tribe awaiting the foretold rebirth of said hero is the object of King Bohan's desire. You p...
