You can play as Kai, Nariko’s (the main characters) sidekick, in the new PS3 title Heavenly sword, which was an unexpected surprise for me, especially because she changes up the gameplay nicely. Noriko is a sword wielding maniac while Kai uses crossbows as her weapon of choice. I like the ability to use another character and even take control of the arrows Kai shoots, I am all about shooting enemies in the head with arrows using the six axis controls. Rumor has it the game is extremely short, but this may be overlooked since it brings a great hack and slash game to the in much need of PS3.

I think it is only 7 hours of gameplay
but still a great game…. But short
stay cool all…
Methinks that:
seven hours of gameplay = Gamefly!
Woah, 7 hours only? I guess I’ll be renting this one.
I also heard that the enemies aren’t well introduced making it feel somewhat repetative. That short gameplay= uh oh. But controlling the arrows is sweet…
Even if it is only about seven hours long and has repetitive enemies, it still looks like a frickin’ awesome game. This “Kai Gameplay” looks like it could add some replayability to the game, what with being able to control the arrow and use it for different things. Looks like it will be one heck of a rental!
How long before we start seeing nut-shot videos with those arrows and the motion controls? I’m saying at some point Tuesday…
