God of War III

What can I say about God of War 3. It is an amazing game. You never want this game to end and at the same time you do not want to leave the joystick until you are done with the game. Sony have really worked so hard on the graphics, you can really feel the difference in the graphics. As for the fights and story, it is different than the previous games, but the quality is as good. I expected a better ending, but still, this is God of War, I love everything about it.

It is only slightly better than the first two, it's just because there was nothing wrong with the first two! The weapons are much better in this new game, plus you get to keep the things you got in the previous game, i.e. your wings.

I hope everyone enjoys this game as much as I have enjoyed it.

What a game only now playing it because it's free on PS4, wish I played it along time ago, it's simply a beautiful epic game.

Pros:

• Kratos is a BADASS
• Great fast-paced Gameplay
• Great graphics
• Creative level designs
• Amazing boss fights

Cons:

• Story is kinda light (but who gives an f)
• Extreme cinematic zoom-outs in levels can be abit annoying

Verdict: While playing this game feels awesome and satisfyingly brutal and gory. Filled with colossal levels and larger than life boss fights, this game is a must play.

8.5/10.

My only serious complaint was that it was almost too manly, and my PS3 leaked testosterone every time I played for more than a few hours at a time. Aside from that, the story is interesting, the puzzles were fun despite being easier than those of GOW2, the combat was solid (despite rage of the titans being completely useless), the boss battles were epic and boner inducing, and the environment and character design were straight up eye candy. Kratos is probably the best character you can't relate to. He's such a kill happy douche that you can't really feel sorry for him, and at times i feel like I'm playing as the villain. He's such a badass though that it's forgivable :)

'God Of War III (2010)' picks up directly where it's predecessor left off and sees Kratos continue his quest to kill... well, everything in Olympus. I mean, this guy literally kills everyone. He's an angry, vicious warrior capable of tearing off a head with his bare hands. Jumping to the PS3 doesn't just allow the title to look and feel better, it also allows it to double down on its gore. Of course, violence is - and has always been - a part of the franchise. Here, though, you can actually feel it, especially when the game puts you in the POV of one of Kratos' victims. This entry is really where the storytelling starts to do some bold things with character. Essentially, Kratos is a villain. While you're playing, you're constantly wishing he would stop his quest for revenge. However, the only way that could happen is if you stopped playing and the thing is just too darn good to do that. The narrative goes out of its way to portray the negative consequences of violence - and vengeance, in particular - which begins to elevate it from pure hack 'n' slash entertainment. It does get caught on some of its own trappings, though. It kind of escalates the franchises' prior poor treatment of women and feels icky whenever it does. This is a small issue but it does have an impact. The gameplay, once again, consists of combat and puzzles. Both feel more refined than before, essentially the same but tweaked just enough to feel distinct. Your abilities build throughout the title - after an obligatory 'reset', of course - and it's very satsfying to master new techniques. The enemies provide a decent challenge and the bosses are all distinct. The end-game, in particular, is epic. A lot of the title is, though, as you clamber up walking mountains and defeat foes even larger than that. It's brilliant. It also has a tragic feel to it, bolstered by a ballsy and unexpected ending. The relentless killing of its gameplay mirrors the 'train wreck in slow motion' nature of its story, each justifying the other. It's a holistic, impressive and enjoyable affair throughout. 10/10
