You probably played the Heavenly sword demo to death and probably is a little disspointed. With the short demo and not being able to pull off some of the best moves in the game, gamesrader tells us how to pull of some of the best moves.

By now, most of you PS3 owners out there have probably downloaded the disappointingly short Heavenly Sword demo, plowed through it in fewer than five minutes and wondered what all the fuss was about. That was our first reaction, too, when we played the same demo during E3 - until we sat down with the game's producer, Kyle Shubel, and he told us what we were doing wrong.

While you might never guess it from a quick play-through, the Heavenly Sword demo can be a sublime, endlessly replayable experience - provided you know what you're doing. Because the demo doesn't feature a tutorial, and because we want to make sure you wring as much as you can out of the scant few minutes of gameplay it offers, we've put together this short guide to pass on what we've learned.

    Still a stunted demo, but interesting tips.

      There's actually a ton to do in the demo, it's just short. You can spend like a good half hour playing the demo really, and I'm talking about pressing new game once, not playing it multiple times in a half hour time span.

    Amazing demo, I love it. But I can't work otu how to do that thing where you launch the enemy into the air and do a huge combo. I jerk the pad upwards like a crazyman but nothing happens.

    Any ideas?

    What you have to do is get the into the distance stance. Then press triangle and when they go up pull the sixaxis up and you should go flying. You could pull off combos and like on the ground, you can switch between stances and doing moves.

    I tried it and it was so sweet, I just kept doing aerial moves just to see what I could do.

    I can get them in the air perfectly easily - they go flying. I can't seem to get Nariko in the air with them, however. Jerking the pad skyward has no effect what so ever.
