Tonight I also finished up Heavenly Sword. The only gripe I can find with the game is that it is pretty short. Everything else was simply amazing. The graphics were awesome and having vistas while fighting was pretty cool. At one point there you have to fight an entire army. There are probably close to 1000 discrete enemies on the screen and there was no slowdown what so ever. This was impressive. The voice acting was also really well done. I think this may have been the best voice acting I've seen for a video game. The actual game play was cool, but it did feel like a God of War clone, even having some quick time events. The game was super linear. I couldn't even explore or backtrack in order to keep the story moving along. The entire game felt like a giant, epic blockbuster of a summer movie, and it had the quality to match. I was thoroughly impressed by this game. Such a good job on the game, even if hack and slash isn't usually my type.

I'm not quite sure what I'll be playing next. Right now I'm leaning towards picking up something off of my PS1 backlog, possibly Vagrant Story. I guess I'll see.
