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.

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 was one of the first games released for the PS3 and was a sort of martial arts beat em up style game. It told the pretty standard story for this kind of game - We are introduced to Nariko (Voiced by Anna Torv), the fierce red-haired warrior whose clan (her father is the chief) has protected the mystical Heavenly Sword, a blade with the powerr of the gods that, when wielded, drains the user of all their life. Andy Serkis plays the evil, power hungry ruler King Bohan who wants to use the sword for personal gain, like power and wealth and stuff. Pretty standard stuff.

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.

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
