Player’s Club: God of War III review
God of War III
Rated M for Mature
Released March 16 2010
PlayStation 3
Published by Sony
WHAT IT IS: God of War III presents the continuing adventures of the worlds most unlikable video game character. Theres no question that Kratos, the “Ghost of Sparta”, is one of the hugest, shiniest dickheads in the history of fake history. At least he stars in one of the best action games youll find on any system.
The PS3 debut for Sonys flagship series is almost exactly what youd expect: a souped-up, prettified blitz through the standard God of War tropes. Its still a three-dimensional action-adventure concerned primarily with slaughtering as many enemies as possible. The occasional puzzles and light platforming return, as do the controversial Quick-Time Events. These arent complaints, but statements of fact. Another fact: God of War III is not what we in the biz call a “bad game”.
