God of War is one of those games that make most other hack'n'slash adventures be ashamed of themselves.
The Storyline in God of War is also a lot deeper than what you can expect from these kinds of action-adventures, and the cut scenes that keeps it all together is so well made that they alone is worth the money.
The only bad thing about God of War is that it is all over too soon.. It would of course help if you could turn the off the console from time to time, but believe. You won't.. You can of course play the game several times and look for secrets and so on, but it still isn't the same the second time you play it..
It is still an awesome game everyone should make sure to pick up though! No Doubt about it.
