God of War III: Early Review

God of War III for the Playstation 3 came out yesterday.  Although I wasn’t one of the many in line at midnight to pick up a copy, I was sure to scoot down to Best Buy during the day to pick one up.

IN THE END, THERE WILL ONLY BE CHAOS™…

God of War® III finds Kratos raining carnage and destruction upon the Gods who have betrayed him and the entire Ancient Greek world. Armed with his deadly double-chained blades, Kratos will take on mythology’s darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles on his merciless quest to destroy Olympus and the mighty Zeus himself.

Feature set:

• Carve through the massive army of Olympus while its Centaur commands waves of merciless undead soldiers.
• Ascend Mount Olympus to reach revenge while navigating on the back of a creature who could crush the Statue of Liberty in the palm of it’s hand.
• Use the creatures of Greek legend to cross chasms, reveal secrets, and destroy anything in it’s way.
• Uncover new deadly weapons and brutal instruments war that allow ruthless new techniques such as grappling with enemies and launching explosive wall to ground attacks.

God of War III can be wrapped up in one word: WOW!  Not only is this by far the best in the God of War series (obviously), I would go as far as to say this is perhaps the best PS3 title to date.

The game starts out with immediate action, non-stop battles for the fist half hour that concludes with an epic throw down with Poseidon and close encounter with the mega-God, Zeus.  Although I progressed much further than this first chapter, the spoilers will end there.

God of War III seamlessly blends cut scene animations with immediate “you better be ready” action.  Its beautiful visuals and amazing sound track raises the bar for future games.  Weapon upgrades, glorious battles and a pretty solid story line ensure this game will not grow stale.  When my wife came home, I was almost inclined to start over, as I wanted her to appreciate the game as much as I was.

The only downside to God of War III?  Sadly, it is the conclusion of the series.

More later…
