I actually thought IGN's review was pretty close to spot on. The game looks really pretty; beyond that, meh. There were gameplay problems and I thought the story was just okay. It's a decent game, but it's not something special that I'm going to want to go back and play over and over again (not that doing so would require much time. ZING~!).

It's incorrect because the overall consensus - outside of IGN's trash review - is that Heavenly Sword sports the best voice acting and even animation acting ever seen. That alone is very, very special. Most everyone acknowledges it, even if they're not giving super high scores to the game.
It's not just pretty; it's an overall polished and refined package you very, VERY rarely see. I would never score the game over a 9, and you may notice I gave the gameplay and control in the low 8s, but that doesn't change the "special." And there's a lot of it in HS, and that's not dependent on your opinion.
