If you do not already know the back story behind God of War I suggest you go HERE first.
If you have not already played the first two God of War titles I suggest you do! (Go Gamefly them!)
After you have done the above proceed to play God of War 3!
If in the first ten minutes your eyes have not exploded because of the god like graphics, I suggest you find yourself a doctor to sit down and discuss your status as a human being. Visually this game is THE BEST LOOKING GAME OUT TO DATE, BAR NONE, NO OTHER GAME EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THIS GAME. The water effects alone are of tear jerking beauty. Even on my ancient flat panel this game looked superb. I cannot stress to you on the aesthetics of the game, its a “you must see it for yourself..” kind of thing. Now that discussing the graphics is out of the way lets look at the rest of the game.
The length of this game is laughable, I completed this game in a little over 8 hours. In these 8 hours I proceeded down “linear tunnels” killing enemies and opening chests. Repetition is this games calling card. The game diverts very little from this equation of Kill > Collect > Solve > Repeat > Boss. However due to this games awesome way of presenting itself, I never truly felt bored with the repetition and linear gameplay.
The voice acting is superb (Rip Torn is in it!) and the story pans out really well in this action packed conclusion of Kratos’ journey. The people at Santa Monica did a great job with this one. There is nothing that I need to go in depth with in this review, as I do not want to give away to much or ramble on small issues that plague any game. There is one little glitch I noticed though, the R1 action was random or at times non-existent at save points.
tl;dr – The best looking game out at the moment, great story, extremely short and repetitive, minor glitches that are tolerable.
I give this one a 4.5/5
Best game! great write up bro.
