It is absolutley amazing. Seriously, I had no hype whatsoever for this game before playing the demo but it has honestly blown me away. I never played either of the God Of War titles on the PS2, which is maybe why the demo for God Of War 3 has surprised me so much, but it really is brilliant. Everything is so fluid, and it looks like we might have a new contender for graphics king as well.

I'm really looking forward to the release of this game now, and I have decided that I'm going to buy to the God Of War Collection for PS3 so that I can catch up on the story and experience the first two games.

Anyway, what did you guys think of the demo?

I haven't played it, none of my friends have it. It looks really good, but I'm slightly disappointed by the graphics. And Rangers? Ewwww. Celtic FTW :P

Wait a sec, doesn't the GoW collection that just came out or coming out have the Demo for GoW3 on it? Is the Demo on PSN right now? I'm a bit behind on the news with all the game time I've been playing... I too never played the GoW series on PS2, I was thinking of picking up the collectors as well.

The game is literally epic in every way judging from the demo. It's nothing less than fantastic.

If you preorder GoW3 from a couple places (like amazon) you get a demo code couple days later.

It must be one of those games that look much better when you actually play them, like MGS4. Haha, good point :( I think we can both agree that both of our teams are in a poor state, and the national team is even worse :P

Honestly, I am no GOW fan even though I bought all the games (gf enjoys them), I believe I only finished the GOW:CoO and never really touched the rest. Now I'm considering playing them all just because the demo was so enjoyable.

The God Of War Collection has just came out and it does include a code to download the God Of War 3 demo. Codes where also sent out at random by email from Sony, and I was lucky enough that one of my friends got sent one and he didn't want it.

It feels like God of War 1.3 with better graphics.

I mean, isn't that how cows always bash Halo, Gears, etc.? They say "oh it's Halo 2.5" even though Halo 3 improved more from Halo 2 than God of War 3 has done from God of War 2.

Well I haven't played any other God Of War games, so I can't really comment on this matter. However, I don't think Halo 3 was Halo 2.5 at all.

Gah, I wish I could play it.

Canada doesn't have the pre-order thing and I'd rather not pay $40 for the collection at the moment.

Going to the US for a bit on Thursday and I'm gonna preorder it there and get the demo. I just won't pick up the preorder.

Do I have to preorder the ultimate edition or the standard one?

Those games are meant to shine most during online play, whereas GOW is supposed to shine during single play with its story. So no, it's not just GOW1.3 because ppl play this game for its story and gameplay. Online is going to be intoduced in GOW3 supposedly, but not many ppl really support that idea. If there was no online play for GeOW or Halo, can u honestly say that ppl would still buy the game.

Owning a 360 is becoming more and more annoying with all these great PS3 games coming out. I might have to sell my 360 and get a PS3 where all the action seems to be these days.

Halo 3 also advanced in story.:?

But it's true, God of War 3 improves much more in terms of visuals and gameplay. I mean there are some subtle touches in God of War 3 that just improves the whole series even more than it did in the past. Gameplay wise Halo feels like an FPS but the way God of War does it's quick time events, it's magnificent, even though I hate them in any other game.

Oh hey what would you rate GOW3? I was planning on buying it in march but since you already have it and played it enough to justify if it is a good sequal or not i would really appreciate your opinion on the game as a whole. Thanks.

GOW3 was one of my most anticipated games this gen, along with MGS4 (which turned out to be okay). Now all eyes are on GOW3 - one of the reasons I bought my PS3. I really can't wait for it. It's been a really long time since I've been so hyped for a game (maybe since the release of HL2).

Considering that the first one (which many reguard as the best in the series) had no online, id say yes :|

There were a few cool parts like the giant dude stomping around and the flying up through the tunnel at the end, the rest of it was kind of meh imo. It'll be interested to see how this and Dante's Inferno stack up against each other. It'd be funny if it was another case of RE5 vs Dead Space with the copy being better than the original.

My brother got the demo yesterday along with the Collector's Edition. I still haven't played it.
