Don’t get me wrong this game is good, but how much space you waste doesn’t mean squat.

Wow, 25gb for a 5 hour game? Talk about disorganized and inefficient!

Hmm, I didn’t know AAA titles generally got a 7 from IGN. I guess they must all be high over at IGN, since crappy BioShock managed to get a 9.7, even with it’s animation hitches, terrible AI, and low-res textures compressed to fit on last-gen DVD.What were they thinking? I guess they’ll be high too when BioShock gets a GOTY award, and Heavenly Sword isn’t even mentioned.

“Heavenly Sword audio alone takes up more room than a 360 DVD can hold”

Anyone else think that 7.2 gigs worth of audio is a tad on the excessive side?

9.0 Presentation
The cutscene work is fantastic, as are the extras (even though you can get most of them freely online).

9.0 Graphics
Beautiful in every respect. Character models are great, and the vistas are a-plenty.

9.0 Sound
Sound effects are fantastic as is the music and voice work.

7.0 Gameplay
The combat system is mostly very good, though the battles get repetitive very quickly and some of the extra stuff (like the button matching mini-games) needed more polish.

5.0 Lasting Appeal
The experience is over fairly quickly. There are a number of really good unlockables to go back and earn, though you can already get them online right now.

7.0
Decent OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

AAA title ROFL. Looks like a AAA example of style over substance.
