Game Review: God of War III

So today this afternoon, I finally finished “God of War III”. I played the game in Easy mode, and then Chaos mode, the difficult level. Yep, I finished the game in Chaos mode. It took me longer to beat ’cause the battles are longer and much more challenging. Overall, I find the game pretty impressive. Graphics are great, music is great, and the story is great, but what impressed me the most is the gameplay. The gameplay is pretty amazing and brutal. Lots of blood and gore, and nasty moves that might make your stomach upset.

There are a couple of dissapointments though. 1. The game is way too short, only 9 chapters. 2. The ending was dissapointing and could have been better. 3. This is the final and last God of War game ever.

Will there be a God of War IV game down the road? I think there will be.

I watched the behind the scenes featurettes in “God of War III” game and I didn’t know that Marvel’s, Stan Lee, helped them out with the game. He just pitched in ideas and gave them advice of what Stan Lee liked and didn’t like about the game. Also, celebrities, Rip Torn and Malcolm McDowell did voice overs for two different characters which is cool.

Everybody thinks Kratos is the hero of these games…but when you play God of War III, you would find out that Kratos was actually evil after all this time. It’s not really a spoiler ’cause there was already evidence of that from the first two games. God of War III was great and a blast to play. Chaos mode wasn’t exactly all that hard, you just got to have skill, patience, practice and intelligence to get good at it. You have to pay attention to what you’re doing.

Next game I plan on moving on to is “Red Dead Redemption”, the cowboy western game, I’ll start playing that game later on tonight. I was going to go on to “Bioshock 2” after this but other gamers have talked me into playing “Red Dead” next.

Finally started “God of War III”…

Well, after completing “God of War II” a few days ago, I finally started, “God of War III” yesterday. I have been playing a lot of GOW III and already getting pretty far in the game. I’ll tell you right now, that this game is pretty badass. SICK!!! I’ll give GOW III a brief review early. The graphics are ten times better than the first two. The camera angles has improved. You can do a lot more moves and have more weapons. The blood and gore is nastier than the first two. You’ll see Kratos dismembering bodyparts by tearing them off with his barehands. Well he does the same thing in the first two games but you don’t see it very well ‘caause of the camera angles. In GOW III, you can see enemies getting killed up close. It’s just an insane game. Great storyline too. Great characters. This game is such a blast.

Cool Video: Dream Theater’s “Raw Dog” from “God of War III” soundtrack…

Here is the full track of Dream Theater’s new song exclusively released to the “God of War III: Blood & Metal” soundtrack only. Check it out. I’ve been a longtime fan of Dream Theater and this is the best they’ve ever been. It’s instrumental, so no vocals. I love the track.

Most video game soundtracks suck ass, but the video gaming industry finally made a good one.  The “God of War III” soundtrack includes bands from the prog and metal genres. It includes everyone from Dream Theater, Opeth, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, etc.

Check it out. Excellent musicianship in this song. Amazing guitar playing by John Petrucci.
