Hmmm...might have to make a Euro account now. I'm disappointed in the lack of demos on PSN. I thought we'd at least get one for E3 by now.

For some reason this game doesn't impress me. Don't like run/slash games.

I was listening to the 1up.com podcast yesterday and basically the game consist of "cut-scene, fight, cut scene, fight". There is no explorable areas and it seems that the character can't even jump. The games does seem to have some fantastic graphics and good voice acting so I'll reserve judgement until the game is released.

The hair still looks awful.

I like it, its an artistic decision... dout its due to technical reason with the level of graphics the game has.

ENU291, Yeah thats the biggest gripe. They ae scared that it might become repeative but 1up said that was not the case. I just hope it has something to add for replay value...

As far as I can recall, I don't think I've ever seen long hair rendered correctly in any game. It HAS to be a technical issue.

What do you consider correctly? Every strand, no I dout it but to the point where it looks good, there are a few games that have.

I believe it was confirmed for US as well.

So it's basically a Wing Commander with blades instead of space fighters ? :O

It's interesting to see that in the past twenty years or so the "interactive movie" concept has been so many times criticized, yet there are so many examples of games more or less belonging to the genre which left an everlasting impression in the heart of gamers.

Yeah it was mentioned by Sony we US should see demo as well.

It's good that tomorrow is my last day of classes. Nice start of summer break! :)

Just got my ps3 yesterday. I'll be waiting for the Heavenly Sword demo today. Does Sony release stuff on their store at a certain time or must I keep checking sporatically all day long?

Downloading HS today is going to be a painfully slow process... I might wait till the weekend.

Last week the PSN update hit around 6pm EST. I really wish Sony would do something similar to MS where they put Trailers, D/L Games, and Demos out on different days. PSN slows down every Thursday and they should at least space some of that stuff out on different days.
