Set in the realm of brutal Greek mythology, God of War III is a single-player game that allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he scales through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, and an array of new weapons and magic for this iteration of the trilogy, Kratos must take on mythology's darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles throughout his merciless quest to destroy Olympus. Utilizing a new game engine built from the ground up and state-of-the-art visual technologies, the development team behind God of War III has made standard-setting strides in giving players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds. With texture resolutions quadrupling since God of War II on PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, God of War III, in its debut on the PS3 system, will feature fluid, life-like characters, as well as dynamic lighting effects, a robust weapon system, and world-changing scenarios that will truly bring unmistakable realism to Kratos' fateful quest. Players will have a chance to join battles on a grand scale that is four times larger than its predecessor.

After playing the whole series, I think Kratos might have some anger management issues.

I still can't decide if I like this or GoW II better. Nevertheless, this is a great action game and a good conclusion to the trilogy.

Came to this game a decade late, so I'd already figured the spectacle wouldn't blow me away the same way it did to people back then, when PS3-level tech was still new. Poseidon fight was cool, but nothing earth-shattering.. (or flooding)

Came to this game a decade late, so I'd already figured the spectacle wouldn't blow me away the same way it did to people back then, when PS3-level tech was still new. Poseidon fight was cool, but nothing earth-shattering.. (or flooding)
But damn, was I glad to be surprised. The Cronos boss fight was AMAZING and seriously mind-blowing, even to this day. Seeing myself as a tiny speck, held by a Titan's hands, using all my strength to rip out.... his fingernail. Was a seriously cool fight and a VERY memorable boss.
Heading into the endgame. Not expecting a lot of surprises. Hope Zeus will be this cool.

What an absurdly violent experience. My only other GOW experience was the 2018 masterpiece, and I know I'm doing it backwards, but damn, this is a big silly game. So many breasts. So much testosterone. SO MUCH.

Read moreOK, Im pretty sure im late to the God of War bandwagon, But im truly glad I jumped on. yesterday morning I Noticed that playstation plus had God of War 3 Remastered for free, so of course being the cheap person I am, I immediatly downloaded it, then at noon the same day I was off to the races, I was so enthralled with the entire game that i stopped only to eat and breath. The entire game was brilliant, the fact that a "mortal" could best the Gods, the plot twists at the end, even the combat was so awesome that when i was mashing buttons i felt like i was there with kratos feeling the rage of sparta. Even though i had work in the morning, i stayed up until 2 in the morning to finish this little gem, and was i glad for it. I will now be getting the ps4 God of War which is supposed to be the continuation, and once i get it, i will cease to see sunlight until its finished as well. i highly recommend this game for anyone that loves rage inducing hack and slashes
