New Heavenly Sword Screens and Artwork from UK Show

Linkin Park Fan | July 07, 2007 | Screenshots | Playstation 3 
Some new screens for heavenly sword after the Bravo showing last night on television. Kai is a playable character but unlike Nariko, she uses a crossbow and you can guide projectiles with the SIXAXIS.
he UK Show Bravo featured Heavenly Sword, and with it some new unseen exclusive footage, which has yet to hit the web. However, what we do have are impressions and screens (some showing Nariko with a bazooka against a large army).

Kai is playable and is very different to Nariko, using a crossbow, and you can guide the projectiles with the sixaxis or the

The stances (distance, speed and power I think) have a big part to play and pressing triangle at the right time whilst blocking launches a counter. There are two levels of counter. If you get the timing perfect you do a badass counter that kills your main target and knocks down surrounding enemies. You have to tailor your attack and stance to the type of opponet you’re facing. And it appeared as if combat scenarios weren’t limited to one type of opponent.

It’s very simple to perform “superstyle” moves. Just press O. You have a superstyle gauge, not sure if it refills over time or through pickups.

The sheer number of characters on screen at times is astounding and the graphics are awesome, especially the lighting. The latest build of the game was shown and the framerate is looking steady, should be no problems by the time it ships.

      Haha, I agree that combination would own. They are similar in styles, too. The first screen is odd, but realistic. This is definately a must-buy game for me this year.

    No way, kratos would all get distracted by that outfit and those sexy moves.
