Rob Bateman: God of War III is one of the greatest PS3 games this year and is certainly a contender for GOTY 2010. It's visually stunning and contains even more of the over the top, gore-ridden, hack 'n' slash gameplay which the series has become famous for.
Did I enjoy the game? Absolutely, it's easily a 9/10. Do I feel fully satisfied with the game overall as a conclusion to one of the greatest trilogies in gaming? Not quite, and here is why.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Cultured Vultures: Let’s delve into Kratos’ long and rampageous history and find out which games are worth the hype and which are better left buried under the weight of Kratos’s might.
Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.
My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.
There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.
Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.
God of War 3 Remaster has sold 4 million copies since its inception, making the franchise PlayStation's most profitable gamer merch brand.
Haha I still remember my brother playing the opening scene on ps3!!!
Yeh he had to put the controller down his heart was beating too fast trying to get past first 10 minutes. He said "it's too much". Best thing I've ever seen in gaming. Haha
I know this is unpopular opinion, but I prefer these over the new ones. I’m not saying the new ones are bad or anything, but they sort of get boring to me, whereas the older games were like non-stop roller coaster rides.
I can't really say the same, I thought it was bloody awesome :)
"The Titan Uranus is killed by his son Cronos, he in turn is killed by his son Zeus, and Zeus is worried about being killed by his son Kratos... except that Cronos clearly isn’t dead (yet). So the entire "cycle of father being killed by son" prophecy is bullshit."
I think the prophecy is that the father will be overturned by the son, not necessarily 'killed by son' hence why Cronos is still alive. That's the fear Zeus had when he witnessed Kratos became the god of war, he feared he was going to be overturned. Of course that fear was literally released by Kratos itself.

His comments about Kratos and Pandora I don't agree with. While their relationship is poorly developed and held for too late in the game, it's hardly a turn around for Kratos. Anyone who has played Chains of Olympus, or GoW1 and 2 for that matter, would realize that he sees his daughter in Pandora. His daughter, that he was almost willing to sacrifice the pillar of the world for in CoO. He may be a jerk, but his family comes first to him.
Also, I'm torn on these articles. I love forum discussions about a games pros and cons, but they are not news. If I could take what I disliked about MGS4 or Halo 3 and make that news...
It was kinda odd and hit you in the face unexpectedly, Kratos goes through 90% of the game kicking ass killing everything and all of a sudden some little girl pops in and Kratos is metaphorically throwing himself infront of bullets for her. He "cared" too quickly.
It was just forced in so randomly and felt incredibly tacked on.
