Heavenly Sword on the PS3- A Review From A Nobody

Given the nicknamed "Goddess of War" at the time, Heavenly Sword was, unquestionably, inspired by the exploits of everyone's favorite Spartan. Its story-focused design, use of quick time events, some of its combat elements, and general design are definitely an homage to God of War; however, Heavenly Sword still puts its own unique spin on the formula. Coming out just six months after God of War II meant that reviews of the day compared it directly to God of War, and most of them concluded that the game was God of War but with a female protagonist, which isn't an entirely fair assessment. In its own right, Heavenly Sword is still an excellent hack-and-slash romp that is far from a one-to-one copy of God of War.
