God of War III reviews and comments
The scale of the game is its best part. Since its the end of the Greek saga, you get to fight all the big Greek gods in epic boss fights. The Cronos and Poseidon fights especially shows how great the games' cinematic battles are.
Much more options in fights this time with 4 weapons, all fun to play with and 3 items, alongside the 4 spell slots you also had in previous games.
Story is pretty simple: Kratos is mad, he wants to kill Zeus and every other character think they can somehow take him on. However, Kratos has a lot more personality this time.
All in all, it's a great game that holds up.
