What can I say, this game is one of the most INCREDIBLE games I have ever played. The graphics are quite simply amazing and nothing but next gen. It's better than God of War and it has some very very nice Wii like interactive moments every now and then. The story line has no let downs! Woot for Sony and Sixaxis controls. This is a game I will talk about for a long time coming. Buy a PS3 for Heavenly Sword (not to mention many other amazing games)!

Anything that can be thrown in the game can be controlled by sixaxis (or you can just throw things without using sixaxis). At an early point in the game you have to shoot cannon balls at the catapults, it's pretty hard & fun and it takes some mastering (you have 3 mins and 30 secs to do it, no pressure haha). Then, after destroying the catapults, you have to kill 700 people on screen. :twitch: The rocket gun is fun too :D.

The story line is absolutely great, some times it really looks like real human beings on the screen. The cut scenes are phenomenal, and you can really tell there was some serious director work put into the game. Again, the graphics are amazing (I consider them better than Crysis) :cool:.

Seeing how I sold my graphics card (xfx 8800 ultra XXX) and bought a PS3 (which I enjoy more than anything, besides my girlfriend :)), I would most definitely say buy a PS3. The PS3 is the best thing since the Sega days :laugh:.

I would definitely recommend buying the PS3 exclusive games also, they are all very good games that I think critics have talked bad about for no reason.

Resistance: Fall of Man (10x better than Gears of War, and I'm saying this after beating both games. Resistance has a better story line, and is considerably longer. Better graphics and gives a lot more of a challenge. Resistance has many many innovative features.)
Heavenly Sword
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy
Killzone 2
Haze

I can't wait...

*Side Note*
I hate to abandon my PC days of Half-Life, Total War games, and Blizzard but I will be more than satisfied with the Orange Box on PS3.

fan boys, typical so blinded by your own love for the ps3 you love the games whatever and knock everything else. Resistance fall of man is 10 times better than gears of war-how did it get worse reviews in almost ever magazine not saying its bad its just nothing new

not really fan boys, just people who are very pleased with their purchase. every on has their own opinion and so different games apply to different people, personally i think any game based around sport sucks.

Think about the people who spent all that money on computer upgrades just to play Crysis. ;) At least with consoles, the software is designed around the hardware, unlike in the PC realm, where hardware is designed around the software. :p
