I feel that every God of war that comes out gets better and better. And if the next one is better than god of war 2 then it must deserve a 10.0. I honestly think that GOW 2 deserved a 10.0 But the question is.....do you think that god of war 3 will pull out a 10.0? I hope for a yes, but think that gamespot will say it could be better and give it a 9.5.

Well, according to a 30 second CGI trailer, I can comfortably say it's a solid 10

Maybe. But for me God of War games are overated. The only great thing in GoW is the story. Gameplay is good but not great, too linear. Graphics is too smooth, which I don't really like.

Seeing that we haven't seen any real footage I cant really say, GOW is a AAA franchise so GOW3 has a good shot of being AAA but I'm not sure if it will get a 10 unless it does something to elevate the hack-n-slash genre.

Unless they add some stuff that puts it far and above the first 2, I just dont see it getting a 10.

I personaly think they should make it harder ( I know there is a god mode) But i usualy don't die enough in god of war games, if that makes sense. i like a chalendge. And I'm tired of cliff hanger ending. They need to resolve everything. And also i hope the ending is sad. I find it ballsy when a movie or game ends in a sad way, I'm not a fan of yay you saved the princess, now you can get married and live happily ever after! I think he should at the end do some thing climatic like kill zeus then destroy the whole world, with his new found power! and end the game with the the whole universe exploding. And end with a white screen.

No, because it's a PS3 game.

Also, I doubt it would deserve a 10.

Well considering GoW 1 got a 9.3 and GoW 2 got a 9.2, and just judging by history and not having any actual facts about the game then its either a 9.5 or a 9.0. Though thats speculating but i'm pretty sure no 10.

Why would it being a PS3 game have anything to do with anything? PS3 already has MGS4 and GTA4 both are 10.0 games.

But I agree with the second thing you said, but I'm hoping.

It has the potentially to get a 10, but it wont.

Gamespot definatly has a thing for open-world games. GTA4 got a 10 and Oblivion got a 9.6, both extremly good ratings.

Intentionally, GOW is designed to be a linear game. There is always one set path to travel from Point A to Point B, and one set way to solve a puzzle in order to find the object needed to move on in the game.

By doing so, it plays along with the whole concept of "destiny", which has been a reoccuring concept in the games (especially the second, with the Sisters of Fate).

Some games is made non-open world for a reason. like for example if uncharted was a open world video game it would lose complete focus of the story. and god of war is just one of the those games.

I understand and agree with your annalisis. But I don't see any major reason why GOW couldn't get a 10. I see where your going with the whole "open-world" aspect, but as an example, MGS4 was linear, and had only one set path, at times there were 2, but most of the time it was linear. But that got a 10.0 so I hope it happens, but I don't think it will receive the 10.0.

yeah that's my best bet, Gamespot always dumbs down game scores, just look at Siren:Blood Curse.

It will be epic, but it won't get a 10.0. I'm pretty sure Gamespot will always find some reason not to give the game a 10.

GS is weird...honestly 2 tens in a year already that isn't over yet? The last 10 they game was to Zelda, if im not mistaken. I think they are being a bit more lienient and losing there cred very fast (I can't stand reviewers anyways, way too biased imo.) so I wouldn't be suprised if it follows suit and than some from its younger siblings.

i would say, that if it just refines the gameplay then it would get an 8.5.

if it does a lot of good fundamental changes, like ramping up a.i. or introducing new mechanics, i't might still make it a 9.0 at the most.

no way will it get a 10.

As much as I love GOW I do not belive it can get a 10. It being a linear hack and slash, makes it seem simple. Which many reviewers will mark down on. If it was to make a bigger change where it isn't as linear, maybe having one very large world for the levels which you can explore but you would still need to do the basic collecting keyss to open gates etc.. Also maybe some more depth to the combat, mixing your magic attacks with your melee attacks, that sort of thing.

I do think though that if GOW3 can deliver amazing graphics, which I belive it can, it will be marked much higher. But we won't know until the game comes out.

I don't think theyll give it a ten unless there's something innovative with it. If the quick time button matching carries on(even though GOW does it best for finishes)then there's a ready made excuse cos that stuff iis everywhere now and has got real old.

It'll be a looker though, and if they can find an interesting gameplay twist to go with a great story it might have a slight chance of a 10.

Wait, I thought the last ten they gave to was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the PS2? (Not including GTAIV and MGS4)

Back. I find the battle system to be too sluggish for me. I hate seeing nudity in any media form. The story/music is good....for an action/adventure game. Nothing other games haven't already capitalized on in those two areas. So God of War isn't something someone can "rant" me to liking. The very essence of it is something I don't like and probably won't change just to join the hype. :\

Wow did you just make a 2ND grade math error!?!?!? lol 5 or higher rounds up so 9.(5-9) would round up to 10 and 9.(4-1) rounds down to 9.0 so 9.6 cant round to 9.5 you know what forget it, just click here and be done with it.

Sure, considering GTAIV and MGSIV both already got an undserving 10 this year, why not let God of War III?

Gears of War 2 should get a 10 while we're at it.

A 9.5 is fine by me, but a 10? No.

Yeah, and with your logic, lets add LIAR too.
