GOD OF WAR
I Had preorded this game just on face value when I was reading an article in PSM. The guy who was reviewing the game was prasing the hell out it and the game was still in beta. I thought to myself man if the game is that good in Beta then I can only imagine what it will be like when the final version is released. I went down to EB games and preorderd it back in December. I got it a week ago and finished it today.
The holy shit factor alone was worth the price tag.
The environments were huge and I mean HUGE and beautiful. The main charcter total bad ass, I hadn't been this impressed by a game since GTA Vice City. I will try not to give to much away in terms of story but you begin with Kratos stating at the edeg of a cliff contemplating suicide and his final act he jumps plummeting to his death. Fade to white and you see Kratos standing on the bow of an ancient ship and you take control of him and the ass whipping begins. You get treated to a brief tutorial on how to control Kratos and the game continues from there.
The cut sceens add a lot of dimension to the game and they don't take away anything, and there aren't tons of them to interfear with the game just enough to move the story along. The game play mechanics are nice and simple but complex enough for hardcore gamers so there is a little bit for everyone. The music is nice and orchestral its not to overpowering and you can trun it off if you like. On the other hand the only thing that was a bit problematic was the camera since you couldn't adjust it and at times you feel as if your fighting the camera itslef. It's a shame realy since the environments are so huge and so beautiful that the camera could not be adjusted. But lets just say this if there is a sequel there are a few ways the can go with the story and can fix that little problem. The game rates a 9.5 in my book
Graphics 10
Game Play 9
Sound 7
Story line 10
Final Score 9.5
