God of War III

The latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine is in, and it's got the first review of God of War 3, giving Kratos' third outing a 9/10.

Is it better than the recent rip-off (but pretty bloody good) Dante's Inferno? Yes, says the review in issue 43 of OPM, and it even destroys the first two GoW games too.

"They fall a long way short of the series' long-awaited PS3 debut. Like, a really, really long way - this is on a scale PS3 has never known. It makes not only its predecessors seem small, but the competition too. Darksiders and even the very decent Dante's Inferno have nothing to compare with Kratos' almighty comeback," it reads.

So why a 9 and not a 10? "The game is inches from scoring 10/10, and it's only the familiarity of the core gameplay (standing on the shoulders of giants) that makes it feel less than the very, very best. But it's definitely the biggest, and if this is the finale (and the corpses littering the stage by the end of the game suggest it might be), then God Of War III gives PlayStation's toughest hero the send-off he deserves," says the review.

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 :)

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.

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.

Very good game. This is the only other game I've played in the god of war franchise, I played the remastered version on PS4 before I started the new one. It is great fun. I can't compare it to other titles in the franchise but what I can say the story is epic, the gameplay is fun and not too challenging, and the boss battles are memorable. For a remaster I don't think the graphics were really improved that much tbh. This is a must play for playstation owners. It's very different to the new god of war and most games I play, but I found it very refershing. The fixed camera angle could be a bit annoying sometimes. And no boss or area was too difficult to the point of me dying excessively and raging. It's the right difficulty and not too challenging for me playing on normal. Overall I highly recommend this and I can't wair to play the newer one
