The latter portion of 2007 is an important one for Sony and the PlayStation 3. It's the first major release season since the console's launch last year, and the publisher/developer has a number of titles set to hit over the next few months that will hopefully show gamers what the PlayStation 3 is capable of. One of the first big releases is Heavenly Sword, an action title that immediately caught the attention of gamers for its martial arts-inspired combat and highly impressive presentation.
Sony has put a lot of money into Ninja Theory's title, and a fair bit of it paid off. The presentation is great from top to bottom, with fantastic voice acting that supports absolutely stellar motion capture performances. Characters display a very wide amount of emotion thanks to facial animation that covers not only their eyes and mouth but eyebrows, forehead, cheeks and pretty much every other part of their entire body. It rivals and perhaps even surpasses what Valve did with Half-Life 2 in this regard, though in the case of Heavenly Sword all of these animations are delegated to cutscenes (not to take anything away from it). The story isn't exactly the deepest thing we've ever witnessed, but the presentation helps give it weight that wouldn't necessarily have felt like it was there otherwise.
