Randomly pressing the attack button has never been this fun!!
The gameplay is really good as Kratos moves effortlessly and you can easily strung up combos and hit multiple foes with your weapons... even if you hit the attack button randomly. Spells and special powers are easily accessible on the controller after a bit of practice. Like i said before, you can manage to torn down opponents with randomly attacking them... the fighting is not as strategic as Persia 2... but Kratos does feel more like a badass. Sometimes, the game will prompt you to press a certain button (or combination of) that will trigger a specific attack that can finish off the bigger foes quicker. Very nice! When you defeat foes, you receive points that you can distribute towards your weapon or spells which increases them significantly. Your chain weapon will look 30 times cooler at the end of the game. The games will also throw a couple of environment puzzles (switches, levers and stuff like that) which will give you somewhat a challenge but they are far from impossible.
The game took me around 9 to 11 hour to complete on the normal level. It's not a huge game but you can certainly come back and play it again on a harder mode. God of War is now part of the Greatest Hits collection which gives it an attractive price tag, if you think 10 hours of gameplay is short. If you love action adventure game and haven't tried this game yet... something is wrong with you. Rent it and love it. Buy it and cherish it!!!
