Additonal Info:
(continued from previous page) ...group of enemies, you may notice that even on this easy level that your adversaries are intelligent creatures. Fighting them is no walk in the park. If you use a single strategy such as say, attacking nonstop, your opponents will recognize it, adapt, and, well, kill you.
You’ll soon realize the importance of recognizing the strength of your enemies attack, and therefore how to block and counterattack those attacks. First off, it should be noted that Nariko auto-blocks while not attacking. However, this doesn’t mean you can sit around, twiddling your thumbs, and not get hurt. Blue attacks can be blocked in speed stance, orange attacks can be blocked in ranged stance, and red attacks are unblockable. These should be avoided by using the right stick to evade. To counterattack, you must first block the attack, then press triangle immediately. Should you time it perfectly, you’ll see a stunning animation showing Nariko performing a one hit kill counterattack.
The environment interactivity is tremendous. Scattered around each area are items which you can pick up, throw, and guide with the Sixaxis. When you kill an enemy, you can pick up their weapon and throw that. Hell, should you get really pissed off, you can even throw a corpse and guide it towards another opponent as it ragdolls through the air.
So as you defeat the enemies in this arena, the blissfully short demo comes to a close. There are a few negatives of course, namely the slight audio problems, tearing, and framerate issues, but most likely all of these will be ironed out come launch. Start counting the days until September 4th. We’ll have a full review closer to Heavenly Sword's release.

so many enemies was nice but at the same time makes it harder to pull some moves or throw objects. Still, impressive demo, looking fwd to it.
you can control the throws with the sixaxis? I did not know that.
pathetic demo
"...blissfully short..." Does that mean you were glad it was over? I enjoyed it. It was only short because it was awesome. If it had sucked, then it would have been too long. Anywho... to WILLISC89... hold the throw button to control the item thrown... Later.
I have played this demo so many times now. i love it. I've pretty much master the combos they have theere. the fun part is switching weapons in mid-combo. The counter attacks are awesome. I struglled with the in air combos, but I've gotten better. Absolutely can't wait for this game.

i think i suck because i wasnt combining the three stances or pulling off mid air combos. the only reason i knew they could be done is through these forums, i went and tried and still couldnt pull it off. guess i should get to playing it
I am really sad to admitt this but I will anyway. I was getting the crap beat at of me until realized I really needed to keep my eyes off of her. I know everyone this is sad. What I can I say, she's a hottie! PS3, it's in the box!
Yawn, yet another martial arts hack n slash, looks pretty though! But will probably save my 40 quid for another title
I really enjoyed this demo. Very nice graphics indeed. Look forward to playing the whole game and seeing what they really have instore for us!
incredible demo, amazing, it did what it had to.. Make me want it NOW and sooon !! Great God-Of-War like new IP, the demo just show and is 1% of the game.. PS3's time is coming.. coming (Home will be the secret weapon, I think, it will blow MS's Xbox live, time will tell)
i need to get the demo sometime
