Impressive Story/gameplay

Normally I hate playing shooter games on a console, but I will admit this one was one of the rare exceptions. I prefer the PC since I have more control for precision and speed but this game was simply magnificent. It was very easy to aim and shoot quickly while maintaining high graphic detail all around Snake's surroundings and with the PS3's controller, it made it a lot easier. What I loved most about this game is the fact that this has to be the first game of it's kind that allows you to play in a movie-like atmosphere. The best part is, you can skip them if you replay the game in a higher difficulty setting (or any setting for that matter). It has high replay value and watching the movie all over again at least 3x. Another best is that each mob is different-don't cheat on how to kill the bosses, try to find out their weaknesses. I love how the bosses are unique and how to kill them is extremely unique. If you didn't cheat like me, it's really fun trying to figure it out.
The thing that I didn't like was the fact that if you skip the movie scenes, the game is rather short. I wish they would have made the game longer. Also, even though each boss had a unique way of killing them, I wish they had more bosses to play against.
Overall, it's hard not to get into the game and play it more than 3x. I would definitely recommend this game just for the fact it has replay value-something you rarely see these days.
What's great about it: Great Storyline, play controls, graphics, replay value
What's not so great: Game is too short
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a game that you will either love or hate entirely. Personally, I thought this was an awesome game. The only issue I have with it was that it never did a 180 degree turn when I wanted it to (so I had to fly in a circle haha). Other than that, I rather enjoyed it and loved the story plot.
The thing I don't understand is why are people complaining that you can only fly and nothing else-the game was meant to just fly on a dragon that's what you are critiquing. If you don't like to play flying games, then you definitely won't like this game so don't even bother buying it.

A very short, yet intense game that will leave you wishing for more. I definitely cannot wait for Heavenly Sword 2 to come out. This is one of the games that you can get so engrossed into it and feel like you were actually in it. The way they utilized the sixaxis weight controller sensor is simply amazing. There is no delay like the WII which makes it even more amazing.
And to think, they used real life actors to make this game simply is obvious-the realism of every body part is simply amazing.
The best thing is if you work, you don't need to worry about not being able to have no time to beat this. You WILL beat this game and enjoy it.

How do you get internet acess on a PS2.

I tried hooking up to online play and it said i needed to configure it or something. What do i need to do or get to do that
Make sure there isn't a game in your PS2 (easier this way) and you'll go to the begining menu screen. On there, there's a configuration menu you have to configure in a way just like you would with wireless internet with your PC. Hope this helps.

do you sell the laser for playstation 3?

do you sell the blue laser for playstation 3?
If you mean by blue laser as in the laser that reads the blu-ray disc, nobody sells that separately. If your PS3 is broken you might as well use the manufacturer's warranty and get Sony to fix it.

Does Best Buy repair ps3's?

If your PS3 breaks and you bought warranty coverage with Best Buy, they just give you a new one if you prove that it doesn't work.
One of the main reasons why most retailers don't attempt to fix something like a PS3 is because it may void the manufacturer warranty.
