Is God of War really THAT good?

so the reviewer community has generally acknowledged this as one of the best action games of the last generation, and I am wondering if this is very accurate? Is it really THAT good?

Its a funny question to put on a forum but I'll guess I'll be the first to answer it. Yes it is just as good as they say. Not overrated like MW2. I guess if you need solid proof then go on the playstation store to download the demo or buy the game when it comes out so you can see for yourself.

all according to who is playing, but its built up from some incredible gameplay and story that has gone SUPA GOLD.

No doubt itll be worth playing.

I don't think they are that great, but many other people do. I recognize they are best (or at the least close to the top) when it comes to action/hack n'slash games, but perhaps I'm just not that into the genre. Didn't care for the first 2 GOW games, so I'll be skipping out on the 3rd one.

I say yes, it is that good. It's a game that really sucks you in for a great single-player experience - which seems to be dying out do to the rise of online gaming.

i think so but that is my opinion of course. i think its one of the best IP's to come along on any console in the last decade, but of course GOW is not for everybody, all i can say is get or rent the collection and see for yourself. a person can tell you how awesome something is until their blue in the face, but at the end of the day u gotta experience it for yourself friend!!!

I think they are good games, but the puzzles are very annoying, and that brings it down a lot. So I think it's hightly overated, but it's still a good game.

I'd say yes. When looking at hack and slash games it's kinda the best out there. Opinions differ of course, but I do understand the hype and I totally go with it.

Its one of the many reasons i stay faithful to playstation. If youre into action games with a classic greek revenge story of mythological proportions, then yes. By all means.

Not in my opinion. I haven't been at all impressed with any of them, especially from a story perspective. raven_squad

Do yourself a favor and get GoW Collection today, the game sells for $40, but at amazon the game it's $30 right now (don't know for how long). Even if you don't like, I'm sure you could sell this game for $30 or at least almost that to some friend. In my opinion, GoW series it's freaking awesome, can't wait for GoW III.

I didn't like Chains of Olympus, the PSP title, but I played the GOW 3 demo and nearly wet myself.

The price has been reduced so it's $30 for 2 blockbuster games. Best deal out there

Its a good series but a bit overhyped.

I don't think it will be i want it to be good but in my opinion mw2 was way to over hyped and didn't deliver what i thought it would! So im going to get to excited!wierdchild

If you fancy the idea of being a badass Spartan warrior killing gods and mythological creatures done with, as someone stated before, cinematic QTE's, epic 300ish hack and slashing with cool music, yep its great. Cant wait for GOW3.

no

its just awesome

I've got to ask, are you really that infatuated with Lady GaGa to always have her in your sig? Her music is the balls, and I'm pretty sure that "she" has them as well.

On topic: It depends on what you mean by "THAT good". I mean, how good are we talking here? Are they good in the sense that they allow you to control a crazy, psychotic, merciless anti-hero? Yes. Are they good in the sense that they bring together all those awesome Greek myths you used to read about and completely destroy them while still being awesome and entertaining? Yes. Are they good in a way that makes you stay up till the wee hours of the morning trying to rack up the biggest combo you can, all in sleek, styling, fast-paced gory action? Hells yes.

If I had to choose one word to describe the God of War games, it would be savage, because that's what they are, and that's all you really need to know. As long as you're not looking for a serious, story driven game than you will have fun.

It's a great series, honestly. I doubted the first two, the demo for the third blew my mind. Went back and got the GOW collection and now I'm psyched, I'm definitely becoming a GOW fan/enthusiast. Very over the top, it's my kind of Prince of Persia, if you will.
