It was OK gameplay-wise, but the demo of "Ninja Gaiden Sigma" was better (read: much longer). Visually "Heavenly Sword" was pleasant in close-up character shots, but when fighting at distance it was difficult to tell what was going on. The attack/action & guard buttons were a bit bizarre compared with other titles I’ve played, but it is maybe because I didn’t quite understand what weapon I had & what to do with it. The lip-synchroni[s|z]ation was good [far better than the awful PS3 "Sonic the HodgeHeg" offering (that couldn't be hard, to be fair)], however, skipping the first scene of the "Heavenly Sword" demo with a touch of the 'X' key meant I had to wait what seemed SEGA-ages for the main game to load; at least a minute of a ‘loading…’ screen. There must be some background-loading of textures/content etc. whilst you are sat through the odd dialog[ue] between the two characters in the cut-scene – this needs to be rectified before a general release I think. When it does hit the (virtual) streets, if I see it cheap enough, say 30-35 GBP then I may buy it, but upwards of 35 GBP I could probably find much better uses for the cash (e.g. “Assassin’s Creed”, “Stranglehold”, “Jericho”, “Resident Evil 5”, “Time Crisis 4”, etc).

This game is nowhere near as much fun as God of War. To be honest, after the second round of button mashing in the Heavenly Sword demo, when those guys burst through the door, my heart sank…

It would be better to release NO DEMO instead of that what Ninja Theory delivered. It doesn't give any hint (...well a very small one) what this game is about. I don't know what developers or executives are thinking when releasing something like this?!?!? ...45 min downloading for 5 min of gameplay??? ...I don't get, but maybe a smart person could explain it to me...

I do want this cleared up why cant all regions get the same PSOne games we are willing to buy them but we cant while others can :S. It is a bit of a farce for other ppl to make a "fake" account for another region just to download FREE demos and trailers. :( Bet most of u were pretty gutted about the size of the heavenly Sword demo i no i was, it felt like it was just A TEASE i still loved it tho.
