My backlog is super huge, so I do not know when I will get a chance to play it. I hope in the next week or two.



I was super surprised to see it come with the book. I didn't know the PS3 version had a book (I thought it was digital on disc), so when I got a larger than usual box from my importer, I was excited.





Impressions as soon as I have time... ]]> KongaKing http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=23018 http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=11318 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:03:41 GMT My copy is here! Image: http://home.comcast.net/~linkup2k/3D.jpg Impressions!: So, this... My copy is here!



Impressions!:

So, this game is AWESOME. Holy crap. If you loved classic 2D Zelda games, this is for you. It's so much like Zelda it's crazy. I got the "Dash Boots" and they look and act exactly like the Pegasus boots (Hold button down to run forward with your sword out). The first dungeon is pure Link to the Past. You walk into a room, doors close, so you have to kill everything. The doors then open, and you move on. You find keys that you use later on in the dungeon, and there are also buttons on the walls, so you had to find the boomer-rang. And right before the dungeon boss, there was a warp to take you to the front of the dungeon, ala zelda. The boss even had a glowing area to know where to hit it. Heck there's even chickens going around town (I didn't try beating them up yet)

I put an hour or so into the game and if it keeps this pace up, wow. It has such a nostalgic feel. It's beautiful and so much fun.

I don't read or speak Japanese, but I've had no trouble so far. Again, if you have played a zelda game, you pretty much know what to do. The blacksmith has a sword sign over his roof, magic guy has potions over his, etc. So finding those areas are easy enough. The boots I got from a guy I just talked to, so talking to everyone just in case is a good idea. I've bought stuff, upgraded stuff, no problems. There is a little english in the game but it's pointless. On the main HUD it says what buttons are for block/map/etc in english and it says "Heath" and "Magic" in english next to their icons on the upper left of the screen. Of course this english is pointless since you can figure that out on your own.

I'll post more impressions ans I go along and I'll write up a review once the game is finished. I'll try to keep track of how many hours I play.

Quick update:
If you beat up a chicken, a ton of them come flying out and attack you, like in Zelda. Classic. More updates later today!

Here's a screen (You can take your own in game screen shots while you play)


Update 2:

So, I haven't had too much time to play but I did get through the 3rd dungeon now. I got the hook shot there also. Oh I got bombs in the 2nd dungeon. It seems to be getting tougher. It's kinda weird going back to a 2d zelda type game, since there is no lock on, and you just put your shield in front of you, and if someone walks to your side you have to let go of the button and turn around, then re-up the shield.

The world is a lot bigger than I thought. It took me a half hour or so to get from dungeon 2 to 3, they were on opposite sides of the map.

Have had no language problems so far, so that's a plus. I admit I have paid people a few times not knowing what would happen, but it's trial and error. The main story though is simple and no problems to figure out what to do.

The item I got from dungeon 2 helped a ton in the 3rd (Think mirror shield, but covers your entire body) and reflects magic. The enemies now take an average of 6 hits to kill, so stunning them with the boomerrang or hookshot then attacking them is the best option.

I am hoping to find or buy more bottles, since I only have 1 right now and I need health now and then in tense areas.

I love this game. It's just so good. ]]> KongaKing http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=11318 http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=9824 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 23:22:30 GMT Image: http://i29.tinypic.com/2zqu9ep.jpg So I picked up a used copy of Heavenly Sword for the...

So I picked up a used copy of Heavenly Sword for the PS3 today. Deal of the week for $16.99 after edge. I've always wanted to play it but first party PS3 games never seem to drop in price. This was good enough for me. After I got home from GameStop, I noticed that there was a perfectly drilled hole, through the entire case, in the bottom right hand corner. It's no big deal to me, but I am just curious why someone would do that. What's everyones thought? My only idea is that maybe it was stolen and in a security case/had a security tag (or maybe the store forgot to remove it when bought), and someone had to drill it off. Then traded it in to GameStop. Any ideas? ]]> KongaKing http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=9824 http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=6790 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:59:52 GMT Very excited to try it out in a bit!
