Nice review, though it felt like it ended a little abruptly. Good point on the constant returning to Hades though, I always thought whenever I played that portion "didn't I do this already?"
So I wasn't the only one who thought the story wasn't so good. Sweetness.
Also, was anyone else royally pissed off at the cutscene after the credits?

When after he killed himself for the good of everyone, after the credits it showed he lived and crawled away, completely undermining the whole "kill yourself for the greater good" aspect. Seriously, that pissed me off so much...
Set Rumor Mill to 'on' position:
I've heard they replaced Yahtzee and that voice is someone trying to do an impression of him. Not sayin' its true, just what I heard.

Wow, great review but that sore throat of his really killed the funny factor this time. Hope you get better soon Yahtzee.
This isn't one I expected Yahtzee to hate, after all he even liked Chains of Olympus.
Also, the taxi cab driven by a balloon with a face drawn on, priceless!

The problem with GoW3 is that it's basically the ending of GoW2 only stretched out over 8 hours. Not a lot happens and the game just feels somewhat smaller, even if it does have epic scale.
Still an awesome game, though. Hooking onto the enemies and smashing into them like a battering ram was pretty sweet.

What's the revenge for?
Well first of all Kratos wanted to be free of his horrible memories. And that's something that the Gods consistently refused to give him. There's also the fact that Aries tricked him into killing his family and none of the other Gods did anything to stop it. But let's not forget that Zeus destroyed Kratos's home and killed his people in God of War II. That certainly pissed him off.

Kratos is insociable I see.
Killing Gods does that to you, of course.
I was never into the God of War series, and I certainly don't plan to start.

I was really expecting him to say something that starts with "It's like God of War, but..."
Still, it was funny...

I'm guessing "the Voice" is because -like the last time- he's sick and he had to use his Xbox microphone... can we please stop commenting on this now? prettyy please?
Very funny, and sharp as always. I like the fact that Kratos trips and falls of the mountain... seems a bit incongruous.

I've been waiting for a while for this review and I wasn't disappointed. Well, his sore throat did dampen things, but he never ceases to make great views week after week. I absolutely love God of War and I especially love God of War III. It is was everything I expected it to be and much more. I did find a few criticisms along the lines of what Yahtzee found, but they did little to dampen the experience
I don't believe that Yahtzee said that he hated it, he just didn't know why it existed. Look for him to possibly give it his Game of the Year stamp at the end of the year or at least acknowledge it as one of the best games of the year. I also loved the part about the balloon face as well as the thing about Cronos being a big as a pregnant aircraft carrier.spencer91 said:
Funny review and I'm surprised to see that Mr.Croshaw actually liked this game,or did I understood it wrongly,my bad if so.
Other than that I can say that I laughed quite hard during most of it.Regarding the criticism I can agree with God of War 3 feeling like a "streched" GoW2 due to the cliffhanger at the end.
My 2 cents.

this is the closest he's come to an actual review ever.
Anyway, yeah, pretty much hit the nail on the head.
