Beleive the hype. God of War is a must own / must beat title for any video game enthusiast.
This bad boy was so good, it made it hard to stop playing even when faced with numerous next gen titles waiting to be played. Seriously good gaphics for a last gen system. Great story. Addictive and fun gameplay (although frustrating at times due to getting my ass pounded by numerous enemies). Spectacular boss fights.
Games like God of War make me realize why I have video games as a hobby (ok.. more of an addiction than a hobby). Satisfying and entertaining from beginning to end. For the action genre, I don't think it gets much better than God of War. If you haven't had the chance to experience this game yet, here is some advice... Buy it. Play it. Love it.
