God of War III – The end of a trilogy

Posted by Kraven On March - 14 - 2010

It took 3 years of developing, and for the fans 3 long years waiting on the end, but now the wait is over, and God of War III has arrived, bringing us the grand finale to Kratos and his relentless quest for revenge. God of War III may not be the last installment of the series that continuously hovered in the top 3 on many gaming fans wish lists, it does bring the final part to this story.

There aren’t many changes made to the game play, just a little bit of polish here and there, but basically everything works pretty much as it has been working in all 3 parts of the game. Gamers, that were hoping for ground breaking new features, will be disappointed. On the other hand, why try to fix things that are not broken?

The graphics have always been one of the key features in the God of War games, but in this last part, the creators really have outdone themselves, leaving us with eye candy that takes our breath away. This is an M-rated game, meaning lots of blood and gore being shown throughout the game. It is safe to say this game is not for the weak hearted (Or youngest among us.)

The only downside to this otherwise awesome game series, was that, though there are many weapons that can be picked up and used throughout the game, the swords pretty much seem to be the only weapons that are useful in just about any situation. No more in this last part, where there are at least two other types of weapons that are equally useful then the blades, if not more useful in certain situations.

The only thing that provided a minor annoyance to me was that the new weapons are very similar to the swords, which does little for variety. But that’s just a very minor annoyance.
Overall God of War III turned out to be a game worthy to the series, and will be in the familiar top 3 on many gamers wish lists, just like the other installments to the series.
