Without any doubts, my favourite is God of War. I'm a big God of War fanboy. GOW was the first game that I played which was so violent and brutal, and for me, it was an all new experience. Also, Kratos has a great personality. One of the best protagonists IMO.

GOW doesn't have gameplay as deep as the other two series, but it trumps them in terms of story and production values. GOW is the better series, IMO.

I prefer the combat of NG, but Gow has the best story. All three main characters are one dimensional. imo. Kratos:angry guy; Hayabusa:no personality ninja; Dante:way too cool for school that it's actually corny.

The best in my opinion is Ninja Gaiden since it has a deeper combat system than the other two. Gameplay supersedes story in my case...but GOW is still fun to play through... for the unique story and character...

The first DMC was brilliant! the 2nd lost it all, the 3rd made up for it a bit, and the fourth was pure milkage, but the that huge boss fight blew me away 8)

For me its Devil May Cry i like the story and the gameplay, GOW is good but but the gameplay can get a little boring after awhile the story is great though. As for Ninja Gaiden the gameplay is great but other than that there isnt much else i like about it;.

they need something new to the series to bring it back, like using enemy weapons in like a combo or something, or having additional combos. Boss battles are the best in DMC, in NG not so much. They can get cheap like getting thrown on the ground and then stand up to another attack. I mean you basically have to be flawless in jumps and dodges. GOW is great but idk somethings missing, range is an issue here. He should have something to shoot to change it up a bit.

I prefer the Ninja Gaiden series more than the other purely because of how indepth the gameplay is. Yes God of War have the best story between the three of them, but what I look for in the action adventure genre is how the gameplay is excuted, and in this case Ninja Gaiden have this area won in my opinion.

Well, if you come to think of it, in terms of Gamespot scores, GOW's (series) Average Score- 9/10 (9.3, 9.2, 8.5) DMC's (series) Average Score- 8/10 (9.1, 6.4, 8.6, 8.0) NG (series) Average Score- 8.7/10 (9.4, 8.0) So, GOW>NG>DMC

I wasn't comparing the scores. I was just adding up the scores of the main games in the series and then calculating the series average. And anyway, those aren't my scores, those are GS scores. I was just telling you what the GS scores say.

Ya, i kinda know what you are trying to do, and its not a fair comparison. For example, if DMC has 5 AA games in the series, average score is AA.And NG has one AAA game, average score of AAA. Doesnt mean NG is the better series.

No competition, NG destroys them both. NG have proven that gameplay is more important than anything else.

I have always liked action games, but i really fell in love with this genre with DMC, besides DMC3 is one of my favorite PS2 games, and i liked a lot some boss battles in DMC4, while i enjoyed NG and GOW too, Devil May Cry is by far my favorite.

Agree 100% with your views on the DMC series, the first DMC was by far the best.

I don't see what you mean. DMC was far better than DMC3 in any way. And God of war II was ten times better than God of War.

ah no it wasn't DMC3 had better Graphics, better Story,Soundtracks, and the combos were better too GoW was great but it was all about the story which i loved, but then in GoW2 the game lacked that "motivation" for the lack of a better word

DMC3 is the best for me so far. Ninja Gaiden just seems to hack and slash. In DMC, you have to know what moves to do, and when, so that style meter stays at maximum. God of War for production. Neither DMC nor NG have that truly epic feel.

Do you like your gameplay deep and challenging, and don't often care for story in an action game? Your choice will be Ninja Gaiden.

Do you like your gameplay moderately deep and challenging with a lot of emphasis on the artistic/stylish side for an action game? Your choice will be Devil May Cry.

Do you like your gameplay shallow, with an interesting plot and great presentation for an action game? Your choice will be God Of War.

I like them in that order. NG > DMC > GoW. None of them are bad though.

NG needs a good story and it will be a far better choice than all its competitors, GOW comes in 2nd, DMC 3rd, but they all are gr8 hack and slash games that i would get every single game in the serieses.

NG Combat> GoW combat > DMC Combat
GoW Story > DMC Story > NG Story
GoW Epicness > DMC Epicness >NG Epicness
DMC Cheesy dialogue >>>>>>>>>>> GoW/NG

In the end i cant really decide between GoW and NG, but with GoW3 coming i think that will tip the scale in favor of GoW.
