[QUOTE="jeremiah06"][QUOTE="Kori-san"] Have not read the IGN version yet but I do agree. The fact that it says Kratos will show another side just tells me the story portion of the game will be solid. It's almost as if gamespots review tacked on some cons to go with the numerous pros. Khadaj32

As far as story goes Gow has always been better than most. Games like onimusha/devil may cry/darksiders all had poorly put together crap stories. My main reason for playing Gow is the story its very exciting, I was on the edge of my seat all through Gow2.

I dunno...I thoroughly enjoyed DMC1's story. But for the most part, you're right, though I've never found GoW to be amazing story wise.

I said I only play Gow for the story I love Kratos and Greek myth in general. Its very exciting. I'll agree with DMC1 somewhat(nothing was really explained) but DMC2,3,and 4 all had forgettable stories.

I'm disappointed as I scanned every post looking for the person who dare type 'a 9?!! This game is easily a 10!'

I'm just not fond of Kratos, to be honest. Yeah, he's got a badass quality to him, but other than that's he's pretty boring to look at, and his personality seems to be restricted to "AARRGGGGH!!!" Now, I know they gave his some more depth this time around (at the end, apparently) but still meh for me. However, I like Dante's style and personality. Plus I've always liked bigass swords.

It's been pre-ordered and paid in full for a year and 1/2 for me... Anything above a 9 is good for me... Doolz is kinda right about the IGN score because they usually do score games higher than they should sometimes when they don't deserve it... GOW 1 and 2 I believe scored 9.5+ there, so this one is the lowest rated of the trilogy there... GOW3 seems to lack the story of the 1st and the different number of enemies whether it's boss fights or not in the 2nd... But it's a whole new engine which can be tricky at first especially this gen (Example: FFXIII and KZ2) and alot of the story has already been told in the 1st - 2 of the trilogy... It's tough nowadays and reviewers are nitpicking looking for anything and everything, it makes things tough for developers especially sequels because its hard to deliver the total package without any hiccups but also maintain it and improve everything about it again and again...

Its not that bad but according to the review every enemy has only one kill sequence and it shows quite a few of them.

Hmmm...a hyped game gets a fantastic score of 9.0 and fanboys are still complaining? Without even playing the game yet?

Hmmm...methinks this is nothing new to the GameSpot forums.

It got a great review from Kotaku and a perfect 10 from Destructiod. Those are the only reviews I care about. With that said, I was going to buy this game regardless of any review. It looks amazing!
