Featured reviews
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 :)
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
'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
A fantastic entry into the series. Some reviewers say it's better than the first two -- I would say it's equal to the first sequel, but not quite as good as the original. That being said, these three main games are must-plays for any hack n' slash fan, and will probably tickle the fancy of darn near any gamer. How could you not like these games?
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.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKevin Sorbo, who provides the voice of Hercules, previously portrayed the character in several television movies and television series.
- GoofsAll the Gods and Titans are called by their Greek names, as this game is based on Greek mythology. Therefore, Hercules should be called "Heracles". Hercules is the Roman alternate. While factually this may be the case, the developers chose to use the name Hercules as apposed to Heracles simply because Hercules is known more commonly by the general public.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are a sequence of Greek art pieces that depict the events of the previous two games.
