Does GoW3 get more epic?

Possible Spoiler ahead if you have not got past the second chapter, Hades.

....

The opening part was insane, perhaps the best boss battle in memory. However, I have just finished the Hades level and, whilst good fun, it was no where near as epic as the start of the game - much more puzzle based. So do things go crazy again, or have I seen the best in the first 10 minutes?

No spoilers please.

God of War series is undoubtedly popular due to it's action gameplay, but it does have an IQ and a brain. Some of its puzzles are the industry's finest. Personally, I liked GOW3's puzzles the most. They're clever and intricate, and very well implemented into the overall level and game design. These puzzles are building blocks. They provide for a bit of downtime to build you up for the EPIC moments in the game. So sit tight and enjoy. It does get better. But that Poseidon boss fight is a hard fight to follow-up. Elian2530

Yes, their are more epic things to come.

oh yes, there this whole level of epicness coming up. but IMO, GOW3's puzzle was worst. 2nd one had one of the best i thinkfunsohng

spot on. GoW3's puzzles are as bad as Uncharted 2. there's no thinking involved. and i hated it. both their predecessors, Uncharted 1 and GoW2, both had amazing puzzles. i mean, don't tone it down for the dumb people. seriosuly????

I'd say Poseidon is the high point of GoWIII. That's not to say that the rest of the game isn't great, but many of the bosses seem like they could have been much more than they were.

minor spoilers (i guess)

I'm okay with Perseus being killed in passing as it expresses Kratos' power, but Helios and Hermes could have been much more. Helios just lays there as you kill 20 normal enemeis and then quicktime event. Then Hermes runs in circles, does almost no damage, and then quicktime event.

Overall though fantastic game.

God of War 3 has one of the best opening sequences in recent memory but the game has plenty of more fantastic moments so sit back and enjoy.
