Title: Previews: Heavenly Sword Vicious as Kratos, cuter than Lara: is Nariko, wielder of the Heavenly Sword, PS3's first true action hero?.
Cynical. That's how fighting with Nariko feels. Comparisons with Devil May Cry and God Of War might be justified, but there's none of the former's showmanship or the latter's sadism. And Heavenly Sword's heroine isn't exactly fighting for her life: the curse on the blade she's swinging means she's a corpse come the closing credits no matter what. No, it's simple. The king has to die. So does anyone on his side. And Nariko's going to kill them all.
