My favorite part was his parallel to Mario.
"Some italian dude saving a princess". Oh man, i would've never made that correlation. XD

one of the best in a long time. not one bad metaphor and the thing was stuffed with them. genius.
I didn't think much about the "voice change" that people are talking about. If i do have to think about it (which i am obviously doing now) then really, its only a very slight... and more like his starting videos. the only thing that jumped out at me (which i don't think anyone has mentioned up to now) is the
"as if you're trying to make fire without matches on his face".
I wasn't sure if he was doing it on purpose, like that time he said "so apparently i'm a retard", but i watched the review again and he genuinly ran out of breath. perhaps a bit of punctuation might not of hurt.
I'm glad to see his pride of "doing it all in one go" overrides the fear of sounding retarded.
I liked some of the imagery he uses. He wouldn't have been half as funny without it XD

Hmmm, well I don't play many brawlers, but this one got me interested, and I was enjoying it.
I however hit a bug on the "Greed" level and have been waiting for a fix. Thus I can't consider this game to be a massive success since apparently a lot of people have been having the same problems I have.

Wait no one got banned this video? Thats a first.
Anyway now I might rent God of Dante to see what all this big hairy bum thing is all about. (Not gay)

I secretly think there's a conspiracy going around wherein game companies who make God of War ripoffs are actually somehow connected to whatever company created God of War (I apologize, I'm one of the, like, seven people who hasn't played God of War and doesn't know who made it) as a way to make God of War III look that much better than all the God of War knock-offs.
Nemu said:Loved it.
I actually went out and bought an XBox to play this game. Okay, I admit it was more to be able to play FFXIII next week, and it was cheaper than the PS3. Regardless, I've been waxing dreamily about killing unbaptised babies ever since I purchased the game.
Sure, it's a knockoff of GoW et al, but you know, GoW was a rip-off of games I played 20 years ago. (Doom anyone? Okay, how about Diablo?) It was still kinda fun and it satisfied my "GOD, I hated Catholic school" twitches for a few hours.
One can only hope that kids don't look at this game and think that it is on par with The Divine Comedy. 700 years later, that poem lives up to it's epicness and I'd hate to thik kids were (once again) misguided by mainstream media.
Anyway, great review.
"And then I met Virgil and we became friends" made me laugh for, well...minutes, but it was hysterical during those shiny, maniacal moments.
Okay, I can kind of understand buying an Xbox to play some games like Gears of War 2. But if you swap out Gears of War 2 for Dante's Inferno it doesn't really make all that much sense. EA went to great lengths to favor the PS3 version of the game (or the "Divine Edition" of the game) like including extra stuff with it at no additional cost. But perhaps most significantly the PS3 version of the upcoming Dante's Inferno DLC is going to be free while the Xbox version is going to cost money. There's also the fact that the Xbox has a significantly higher failure rate and the fact that the DVDs that Xbox games are on lack the protective hard coating of the Blu Ray discs that PS3 games are on. It seems to me that unless a game is an Xbox exclusive or the Xbox version is notably superior (this was the case with Bayonetta but this is in all likelihood not going to be the case with FFXIII, in fact there's a pretty decent chance that the PS3 version is going to be at least slightly better), the PS3 version is the better bet.
And you can plausibly accuse God of War of being a rip-off of some games, but Doom and Diablo most certainly do not seem to be among them. Neither one of those games is even of the same genre as God of War.
I'm actually a little surprised that Yahtzee didn't mention the... odd advertising campaign, but still good. Don't really get the comparison to God of War 2, though, since I haven't played it.
So true about the "moral choices" thing - early press about the game had said choices you made in damning vs absolving would lead to different endings...turned out to be B.S. And yes, while the first few levels were pretty creative, the game gets really repetitious as it goes further along.
For me, the best way he could start off his GOW III review (if he does one) would be to say, "Oh great, yet another game forcing me to drag out my 'Like God Of War' tag...wait a minute..."
