I rented the game and beat it.
It was great, but I do not think my words will do it justice, but I think this will for all the people who have not played it yet:
God of War III
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Mar 16, 2010
God of War III puts players back in the role of Kratos to continue his brutal and bloody war against Olympus as he sets his sights on Zeus himself.
God of war III in a nutshell.
" I wish I would have rented it, could have saved myself $57. I'll probably play through it again and then sell it on Craigslist or something. "How much and were might youz be living? (As for shipping costs)
I just beat the game today and that game lost a lot of steam in the middle. At some points i wanted the game to just end, it was just puzzle after puzzle after puzzle they weren't hard they were just long. Also the ending was not great.
woah there don't just assume what they said is fact and you just wasted your money. I don't know what they're talking about. Go play it and have fun, it's amazing." ...so I just wasted 60 bucks I take it? I've been working on school work due to our law projects so I haven't had much time to play it...damn, I was gonna pick up L4D2 or BC2 (PC) instead of this. "

I've played through over 10 hours of gameplay and let me give you an objective overview as to why not only is this game a massive letdown but why it's only marginally better than Dante's Inferno and why it could EVEN be argued that Dante's Inferno is superior.
- The graphics in GoW 3 are GORGEOUS it is a brilliant looking game and blows Dante's Inferno away
- Gameplay mechanics are tedious and will lose their wow factor within an hour of play, the AI is incredibly dumb and you will mow through enemies quicker than a Dynasty Warriors game.
- The Story is Pathetic, absolutely abysmal. In this aspect Dante's Inferno is superior.
- The UI and upgrade mechanism in this game are flat out lazy and are in stark contrast quality wise to the visual splender of the game and as such drag down the actual gameplay and progression enjoyment immensly. As for Dante's Inferno, it's upgrading mechanism is much more interesting and while it may not have the depth at least implements it in a use friendly and effective manner that ties in with the story.
And thats just off the top of my head. Seriously this game was being hyped to be GoTy and really...it's nowhere even close to being game of the month, nevermind year.
Very well said - I think GoW 3 is worth playing through once just to look at the graphics, other than that...eh. 3.5/5. A rental, and probably more fun to watch someone play than to actually play it one's self.I've played through over 10 hours of gameplay and let me give you an objective overview as to why not only is this game a massive letdown but why it's only marginally better than Dante's Inferno and why it could EVEN be argued that Dante's Inferno is superior.

Not a bad game, just not great.
I do however want to go and beat the beginning again just because the way the First boss get killed is pretty epic.
" I don't know what you're all talking about. This is one of the greatest games I've ever played. Easily up there with Uncharted 2 and MGS4 on the PS3. "i agree. people hating on GOW3 pretty lame
Hmm... I don't know if I want to rent this anymore. That puzzle area sounds retarded.
How about characters? I absolutely HATE Kratos with a passion, he's such a bland character. They made him rely too much on being a "badass" than being an actual character. Is that any different in this game?
Meh... I dunno. I might rent it, if it's not there I probably won't touch the game until some other time when there are no other games out.
" @CoolDrMoney said:I hear Crysis doesn't hold a candle to it either. >_>" @Guy with Kratos Avatar said:LMAO. Who'da thunk, huh? "" gow3 is amazing. an amazing technical achievement as well. "Wow! "
dude gow 3 is super epic just get it any way you can steal rent buy anything. And that ending makes you think
