Kratos is back and even more brutal and amazing as ever. With amazingly well done battles and story.

Epic, that is the best word I can use to describe this game. I had very high expectations for the game going into it and the game delivered even better than I could have hoped. The scale of this game compared to the others are amazing, and it takes the best things about GoW 1 and 2 and delivers amazingly well in this third installment with a epic and fitting story as well has unbelievably smooth and enjoyable gameplay.

GRAPHICS: 10
Extremely detailed, textured, and polished. The in game camera is almost as good as the cinematic and it really shows that they had very talented people spending a ton of time making this game look as beautiful as it does.

CONTROLS: 9.7
The best in the series yet, switching weapons and using them interchangeably is a breeze and something you will want to do quite often. The only negative I can think of is when you are jumping to a ledge or swinging from place to place with your blades, sometimes it can be easy to miss where you are trying to land, and that really slows down the game a bit because you are forced to load, and try it again. And since this is such a fast paced game those little moments that happen now and then throughout the game become pretty noticeable.

GAMEPLAY: 9.8
Fantastic and fitting throughout almost the entire game. Some of the creatures are new and other creatures are sort of redone in a way that was fitting for this installment of the game. The pace is fast and the gore is high. Kratos is a living, breathing, wrecking machine and will just destroy anything that gets in his way and the game is paced for it. Very rarely does anything you have to do feel out of place and sometimes the story behind what you are doing or why is not clearly enough explained but not enough to where you feel like you have no real direction.

SOUND: 10
Spot on sound from start to finish, whether you are walking around or battling a god the sound in the game feels very fluid and natural. The music in the game really gets you pumped and helps focus you in on whatever battle you are apart of. But the voice acting is just about as well done as the music, Kratos and all of the other characters voices sound wonderful and very fitting to their personality.

STORY: 9.4
Very good, the story picks up where GoW 2 left off which was an epic cliffhanger and the story concludes in a very fitting way. What and why could been answered a little better as you are playing the game but overall pretty easy to follow.

MULTIPLAYER: N/A

FINAL: 9.78
