Brutaly engaging and outstandingly good looking,God of War rases the bar for the last time.
As I said before this two weeks of summer were the weeks of GOW for me!And after finishing God of War III I can say that this is the best game in the series.I start with the graphics because they are the first things you love!
Visuals are superb and building such visuals in 60 frames per second is fantastic.Sense of scale is extremly exciting and two titan fights in the game are both super satisfying.Kratos's model is completely mind blowing and he's maybe the best looking character model in the games! just standing around and watching his model is awesome!! The sound tracks are the most epic tracks that I have heard and the better voice acting doesn't heart either!Story is epic but it hasn't got any shocks until near end and when you get there some of the best endings out there are waiting for you.The first GOWs were famous for their puzzle design as much as they were for the combat but GOW III is much more combat oriented than before.Though there is one challenging puzzle in the gardens you will feel the absence of them but the improvements to the combat will fill their place.Blades of Exile are very enjoyable to use just like before and some new moves like shoulder charge give more depth to it.The violent finishing moves are gruesome and exciting even after the 100 times you perform them!The new weapons are also surprisingly useful and fun to use.There are also some great additions like changing weapons with combo and using each magic with each weapon .Level design is top notch and varied with tons of awesome moments to make the game fresh even on the second or third play through.
Boss fights of GOW III are one of the best that I have seen in this generation and they are all really engaging.
At the end God of WAR III is the best Hack N slash of this generation and Sony Santa Monica once again showed that there are non other action adventure games as exciting as the games they build and there are no consoles as powerful as Sony's .I hope I take the role of the Kratos in another game in this series soon.Even though they finished the saga with a Masterpiece.
