God of War 3 Reviews

[Korten12]

I will be posting the reviews as they come in for the ones who care.
From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_War_3

In the February 16, 2010 edition of the Offical PlayStation Magazine UK, the first review score was given as 9/10. Reviewer Nathan Ditum says "the game is inches away from scoring 10/10, it's only the familiarity of the core gameplay that makes it feel less than the very, very best. But it's definitely the biggest, and if this is the finale, then God of War III gives PlayStation's toughest hero the send-off he deserves." Ditum also praised the graphics, stating it was as good if not better than Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

In the February 20, 2010 issue of the UK PSM3 Magazine, God of War III was given a perfect score of 20/20. According to the editorial, it is "simply one of the best games of all time."

I. WANT. IT. NOW!!!

Good to know that it's good; I kind of predicted that.

 

[JEBWrench]

Big surprise; it's kinda hard to mess up the GoW formula, isn't it?

Kratos kills stuff and is awesome while doing so.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Lets just wait and see what Mr Australian foamy mouth Croshaw has to say about it.

Calumon: He scares me. He's always so angry. He should try squeezing a stress ball instead of people's heads.

So far, I've seen everything give it an almost perfect score.

And you forgot that Playstation Magazine gave it a 5 out of 5 stars.

 

[FactualSquirrel]

I'll wait until my favourite magazine gets their hands on it, although I doubt I'll buy it seeing as I didn't like the previous ones all that much. EDIT: this may look like flamebait, so I'll just add: I know this is my opinion, and it is awesome watching it.

And biased much?

Yeah, I think all of the reviews could read: "It's God of War III, of course it's fucking awesome."

That'd save paper, and forum space.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Great to hear its getting near perfect reviews.

If I could I buy a PS3 just to play God of War 3.

 

[sephiroth1991]

Wouldn't they just give it the same score they did five years ago since it's just god of war again again

I bought a PS3 over anything else BECAUSE of God of War III...got the Ultimate Edition preordered from my work and counting the days till it's out

 

[Irridium]

A God of War game got good scores? NO WAI!

*ahem*

Still, its good to see that it apparently is good. Can't wait.

"the game is inches away from scoring 10/10, it's only the familiarity of the core gameplay that makes it feel less than the very, very best."

I consider that a good thing, since I won't have to re-learn the controls.

 

[Gladion]

Here's something to add to your OP: Gamepro (Ger) - 92%

The graphics are not better than Uncharted 2's, but I guess at that level of looking awesome, it's just a matter of opinion.

 

[Hiphophippo]

That game is the very definition of rental game to me. I don't discount it's quality, but I'll finish it quick, enjoy it, and never think about it again.

 

[TPiddy]

Wait... you mean both Playstation Magazine and PSM3 Magazine gave it perfect scores? Hmm, I'm starting to think these reviews might be a little biased... Actually, scratch that... all reviews are biased. Fuck reviews.

 

[Fox242]

I saw this coming from a mile away. I can't wait to get my hands on this game!

 

[TPiddy]

Just watched the IGN review and saw the following:

1. Kratos ripping a cyclops' eye out.
2. Kratos ripping a creature's horn off and stabbing the creature with it.
3. Kratos ripping off a giant monster's jaw with his chains.

Now, I haven't extensively played every game in the series, but this is starting to sound very similar....

 

[Korten12]

thanks to people who posted more reviews score.

It might seem repetitive.But somehow it never gets old.
