    Fun, except for the puzzles

    This game maybe would  deserve 5 stars if the game designers weren't evil sadistic bastards. For some reason, they interrupt enjoyable action and platforming with mind bogglingly stupid puzzles. Some of which require pinpoint controller accuracy and timing. This is a problem because the controls are clunky at best. Sometimes you'll make that ledge jump, sometimes you wont. Great, now design a puzzle the requires you to position a box just right, requiring a perfect jump or fucking spikes will come out of of the floor and kill you.


    There's probably a dozen moments in this game that will make you want to break your controller (even if you have it on easy mode and use a game guide). Unless you like swearing at your tv and stomping on controllers, steer clear of this game.

    For God of War 3, please... please.. add a "Skip this Retarded Fucking Puzzle" option. It would improve the game experience enormously

      Simply Incredible 0

      Action adventure games; they're a dime a dozen.  They've been a staple since the dawn of videogames.  God of War takes all the lessons learned from the great action adventure games and combines them to create one of the best games ever to grace a console.  The game does not offer much in terms of innovation, but it simply does everything to perfection.  As the title would lead you to believe, this game is based in Greek mythology.  Surprisingly few games have taken advantage of the depth of...
