I've never played a good game where the developers put a big icon of the button you're supposed to press onscreen... I look at Heavenly Sword and it seems really half-assed, because it's asking you to do all these button-timing sequences but you are not getting much payoff from it.

I'm buying it too even though the gameplay doesn't look more than B-grade.  It's funny how there're already 3 PS3 owners on this board so far who are buying Heavenly Sword despite not thinking that highly of it.  I don't know if buying a game just to validate the purchase of a rarely used console is a good idea though.  I did that with Mario Strikers for the WII and that was a highly regrettable decision.

HS seems decent enough by my own personal standards to warrant a purchase.  F.A.I.L. (lair) on the other hand is not something i can see myself purchasing.  just not my type of game.

I loved the demo to HS, so I'm definitely buying.  I actually like QTEs a lot.  I could say I slightly prefer HS gameplay over NG, but not much.

Its very GoW, which shouldnt suddenly be an issue for people as GoW titles are so beloved.
