    god of war 3

    Before i begin with my review i want to say that i"m afan of the god of war series.God of war 3 is the best in the series no doubt.From the impressive and stuning graphics to the fun and enjoyable gameplay.This is a game that has the all ,it has graphics,it has gameplay,it has presentation,it has voice acting,it has non stop action,it has puzzles,it has platforming and of course the bigest strenth of the god of war series is the enjoyable,fun and satisfying combat. All from what to excpect from the two previous games is here with new adicions to keep the  whole experience fresh.GAMEPLAY:As we all khnow the gameplay of the god of war series was always one of his bigest strenth.New weapons are at your disposal now sucs as the cestus,the claws of Hades,the nemesis whip,the blades of exile and of course the blades of exile.Another new addicion is that each of  this weapons has each own unicue magical ability and not to discover new ones that are four all your weapons such as in the previous titles.Each of this weapons now has it:s unicue serve as well.For example if you have the cestus gauntlets they can help you to break obgects that with the other weapons you cant,with the nemesis whip you can put electricity to  some mechanics to solve a puzzle or to go to the next level.There of course and other weapons such as the bow of Apolo that has it:s own unicue too and you can use it in battle and to take out some obgects with a fire inferno.The head of Helios is requird as well as progress to the game and such as the other weapons you can use his own unicue ability.It serves to show hiden chests,show up secret paintings,give light to dark areas,show off hidden doors and blind enemies.You can collect orbs that upgrade your combat attacks,your health and your magic.You have new magic abilities as well.But Kratos can now riding monsters such as cyclops and cerberous  each with it:s own  diferent combat moves.You can use the wings of Icarus to fly in specific areas and you must pass the obstacls but is very cool though.Another new addicion is that in the past the QTES appeared in front of your screen and it was easy to lose the right buton to a painful death.But from now the buttons  are set to your screen as is to your controller for example the O is in the right,the X in the bottom,the Δ  and e.t.c.GRAPHICS:What can you say about the graphics of the GOD OF WAR 3.With one word.Excelent. Every enviorment is  with incredible detail until and the pools of the skin of Kratos apear realistic like a real human being.Idon"t know how  sony did that but are very good to their job.God of war 3 is an impresive looking game  and from the first minute that you are in the body of the titan Gaia  you can undrestand how amazing this game is.LASTING APPEAL:There is no doupt that will be the game of the year it,s the perfect game for every gamer.That shoud make the games today is the reason for an experience that you will want to  play again and again.The voice acting is superb,the gameplay fluid and satisfyd with plenty of stuff to do,the action is chaotic,excellent and of course over the top like a HOLYWOOD movie and the story continues from where  god of war 2 left off.Kratos wants revenge on Zeus that betraed him in god of war 2 and he will not stop until he is dead but the story is very good that mixed the greek mythology that i love and respect in such a way tht no other game has manages to do long ago.This is a game must for every owner of a PS3  that has to put in his collection you will not regred it.

      A funny thing happened a few hours into God of War III: it became really, really amazing. Perhaps it was the over hyping of the first 30 minutes that so many previews had gushed about. Perhaps it was the considerable increase in hack’n’slashery that I had done this year. Maybe it was even the incredibly misguided Platinum trophy runs of Dante’s Inferno that I had done, but I just was not into this game at all. The giant bosses, the same combat I had played with twice before, and the puzzles whic...

God of War III has been a long t...
