Overall Feeling:

Playing God of War 3 may be a bit bittersweet for some. With the amazing set pieces, action, and references to past games, there’s no question that you won’t want this to be the final chapter in the God of War 3 franchise. We’ll probably see Kratos pop up in the future via prequels and side stories but God of War 3 is without a doubt the end of this current story. But as some of us try to hold back the tears of awesome while playing GOW3 at least the series is going out on an extremely high note. Just like its protagonist Kratos, God of War 3 is a beast that simply rips through everything in its path to achieve complete and utter dominance.

The Pros:

Amazing graphics and art design. The set pieces and sense of scale is something we haven’t seen in games before. Top notch production values and voice acting. Kratos’ brutality is unparalleled and is fun as hell to control. Superb soundtrack and voice acting.

The Cons:

Double jumping is a bit iffy at times. Using the left analog stick for quick time events is a bit hit & miss.

ShogunGamer.com Rating :

At this point in the console generation it seemed like we were finally approaching the max of what was possible. After games like Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect 2 were released it almost seemed a bit hard to imagine what we would see next. Both UC2 and ME2 featured jaw dropping visuals and equally impressive levels and art designed that rivaled what we’re used to seeing in movies. Now God of War 3 has come along and in less than a week of being released it has immediately shown that there’s still a lot of power to be tapped.

I’m not a big horror movie fan but one series that I always enjoyed and watched as a kid was the A Nightmare on Elm Street series starring the iconic Freddy Krueger. It must’ve been the design of Freddy and his whole striped sweater, hat and claws get-up that really appealed to me since at times the story went over my head since I was 4 or 5 at the time. For the most part I did understand how Freddy disposed of people through their dreams and it was pretty impressive, both from a visual and thematic standpoint.
