God of War 3 raises the bar for cinematic gameplay experiences in games today. A fitting end to a great trilogy!
Everything about this game is perfect except for a few minor annoyances. For examples, a lot of times when I want to press R1 for a save point or chest, the icon either disappears or doesn't appear at all. I would have to move away and run back to it. Also, when climbing on a ceiling or hanging vertically from a cliff, trying to jump don't can be bothersome because the R1 trigger doesn't seem to want to let go.
Other than that the combat is flawless. They really made sure you used all of the weapons they gave you. I remember one point in the game where I was locked in a box fighting several different waves of enemies of different types. I couldn't get past that room easily since I wasn't used to switching weapons mid combo. Once I got it down it only took two more tries and I played the rest of the game effortlessly, until the final boss that is.
GOW 3 is a must buy. When you're done you will want to play it again to replay those epic boss fights, do the challenge of the gods and combat arena, or even have another go at Aphrodite ;)
