Heavenly Sword (PS3) ... 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. Andy Serkis, the world's leading CG actor, famous for his roles as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings and Kong in King Kong, was heavily involved in the creative process. As well as starring in Heavenly Sword as the villain, King Botan, Andy was a major contributor to the character development, writing, casting, directing and performance capture for the PLAYSTATION 3 game. Heavenly Sword features a deep, diverse combat experience made possible by PLAYSTATION 3.

As you play the game you earn medals that unlock more moves, so the better you do in one level the more damage you can do with the new moves in the next. Most of the levels are you slashing up the bad guys with a sword but about 20% of them are shooting. With crossbow bolts or cannon balls that you can steer through the air by tilting the sixaxis controller. This for me was the best bit of the game, although I like the rest of it as well.

Premium Review Heavenly Sword (PS3): Great Game, but short. (404 words)

Despite Heavenly Sword being a game which most companies will give free with your PS3 it is probably one of the best games out at the moment and definatley shows of the power of the ps3 in terms of graphics, voice acting and story line. The only downside is the slightly repetitive, Dynasty Warrior like gameplay and fairly short campaign. The game is about a clan who has to protect a heavenly sword, said to give powers to the wielder that could make him/her the most powerful in the world. Your clan is currently under jepordy from King Bohan who has his eyes set on the sword. You control Nariko one of the last survivors of the clan and it is your job to keep the ...  Read the complete review

Heavenly Sword tells the story of Nariko, a strong female warrior within a small tribe that guards the Heavenly Sword. The tribe has had it's share of problems and the fact that the merciless King Bohan is determined to not only steal the sacred sword but destroy their tribe makes things even worse. The prophecy dictated that the sword itself was only meant for a man so when Nariko takes it upon herself to save the tribe by using the sword her decision has drastic and unforeseeable consequences. This sets up the story. An unlikely hero, not viewed worthy enough by her own tribe, challenging the might of a vengeful despot with thousands of men at his ...  Read the complete review

Heavenly Sword is a third person fantasy action game set in a fictional world somewhat reminiscent of ancient Japan (or at least, what I imagine ancient Japan would have been). You play as Nariko, daughter of the clan chief Shen, who's life purpose is protecting the Heavenly Sword. This is a mystical blade that is said to drain the life force of any mortal who wields it. King Bohan - a merciless warrior who has conquered almost all of the land - seeks to possess this sword, as a symbol of his rule, but must first defeat Shen's clan, the last remaining free people in the land. *** Gameplay *** Most of the game takes place from Nariko's perspective, ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

Heavenly sword is a fantasy hack n slash game set in ancient times with an oriental theme. The game was released fairly early in the PS3 life span, around september 2007 in UK. The game gets you playing between two characters, both girls. One called Nariko whos primary weapon are swords, and later the heavenly sword, and the other being Kai, who uses a very large crossbow. For most of the game however you play as Nariko. So the story is about your clan being attacked by King Bohan's army in his seeking of the sword to obtain ultimate power. As your people retreat, you are forced to use the sword in order to stand any chance in rescuing your ...  Read the complete review

Heavenly Sword is an action game exclusively for the Playstation 3 console developed by Sony themselves. The story follows our main character Nariko, her clan is under attack from the evil King Bohan who wants to gain the power of the Heavenly Sword. Nariko is going to have it and so takes up the Heavenly Sword to defend her people at the cost of possibly her own life .. The story is actually very well told and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Heavenly sword for the most part is a hack and slash affair and you will be controlling our heroine Nariko. She can use her Heavenly Sword in a variety of different stances you can use ...  Read the complete review
