There is a demo of it on the PS3 store. I didn't think much of it.

I seem to recall that the Zomoniac (tm/C) had a high opinion of Heavenly
Sword. GameFAQs tells me that Ninja Theory used to have a different name
and was responsible for making Kung Fu Chaos on the original Xbox.

positive response.

I recently played (and actually finished) Heavenly Sword. It's short (I
got through it in about 2 days) and it's an obvious God Of War clone but
with 2 (scantily clad) female heroines, but this is no bad thing. I
button mashed most of my way through it like I usually do in such games
but there is some deeper gameplay in there if you want it, such as using
different stances.
The archery sections with Kai are some of the best bits of gaming I've
ever played as time slows down when controlling the arrows with the
joypad and you can shoot guards in the arse or indeed anywhere!
I'd snap it up seeing as it's quite cheap nowadays.

Ah feck! Forgot to say that the main bad guy in it, King Bohan, really
plays his part well. He's voiced by Andy Serkis (Gollum)

That's just the way I play these games. As I said, there are different
stances to use - light, strong and ranged. The enemies have the same
stances and you can change yours to block and counter appropriately.
Some of the counters are really funny and quite gruesome if you time
them right...
I hardly used most of the available moves in the game.
A really nice looking game too.

Kung Fu Chaos was very highly polished if a bit shallow.
I didn't like the Heavenly Sword demo, but I think Zo had overhyped
the facial animation to me so I was immediately disappointed with
that.
