Sorry if your sick, or lost your good mic, or what ever is making your voice sound like the combination or rocks and a chain smoker.

Why are people confused over his voice? The same thing happened wih Assassin Creed 2 and he explained that so stop nitpicking...

...speaking of which, I bet he liked this game more than he implies since as we all know negative points are more funny.

You tell is Yahtzee. I'm only glad this game hasn't made its way to the PC. Or I would be ashamed.

If it's just Kratos's drive that you find unrealistic, Zeus didn't kill Kratos because he was killing too many people as the god of war, it was because he was afraid he'd take his place in Olympus. I don't know how many times it's mentioned that Zeus was filled with fear in the game. He killed Kratos because he was a selfish ***** pretty much. And that's reason enough for a brickheaded, Spartan warlord to get revenge while disregarding the effects killing the rest of the gods have on the world. Kratos isn't a rational guy. His drive doesn't have to be rational.
And im sure Yahtzee is well aware of this. He only said what he said because it was comical, and entertaining :p

For all intents and purposes, I wouldnt call Yahtzee a 'good' reviewer.
His reveiws are entertaining, yes, but i wouldnt take them too seriously. if youwant some real reveiws check out the Escapist's reveiws section.

the way i see it it is that Yahtzee's reviews are just a bit of fun, ad also extremley funny. anyway great vid :)

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

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!
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.
Okay, maybe hate is too strong a word. But it's hard to imagine him really liking a game he described as being wholly ridiculous and unnecessary. I think he just likes the God of War series as a whole (and the concept behind it) more than anything else in this case.

I can vouch for the sore throat thing, it did kinda ruin the review...

But I just don't think your reviews are what they used to be. They used to be funny, and enjoyable to watch, but I think Yahtzee's losing his touch. It's a shame, but if you watch some of the older reviews then compare it with this one, it's just not the same anymore. Yahtzee's got to do something quick, or Zero Punctuation is fast going to become very boring.

That's totally true, but it bugs me to hell when I see someone commenting "Wow Yahtzee, I didn't realize that game was so bad. I won't play it now!". And to be honest, he does raise very good points on video games every now and then that most people can agree with so it makes sense to take in what has to say in his reviews.

Also, I enjoyed the game and will naturally defend it when someone says it's bad. I mean, he said sweet fuck all about the gameplay, which is what the game stands out on.

I agree with Yahtzee, the battle against Chronos was the best part of the game; everything else just deflated afterwards.

I'm starting to grow weary of all the hate... I understand you want to please your fans, but now you're just nitpicking! You can't complain that a game has TOO MUCH variety... Ah well.
weary of all the hate? In my ears it sounded like he liked the game...
I meant with other games, he always seems to pick out the tiny flaws rather than showing the true meat of the game.

I personally wouldn't really call him a reviewer at all, at least not in the strictest sense of the word, he even admitted himself that the whole consumer advice thing was a facade. The way I see it, he's an entertainer who uses an imitation of the review format for his craft, instead of doing actual reviews, besides, I doubt he wants people to take him fully seriously, because half the time he goes on tangents about things that are only partially related to the game in question, so it's a comedy thing as opposed to being consumer advice.

Great video! Played this game at a friends house since I don't have a PS3 and had a blast with the boss fights. Get well soon Yahtzee.

yeah that pissed me off about the FFXII reveiw. how everyone just goes "ho ho ho yes final fantasy 13 is shit, why? Yahtzee said so"

and i was like "Rahhh, no its not the best game in the world, but some people like it, and some people hate it, how can you know untill youve played it? or at least seen some in game footage...."

I totally see where your coming from :)

So what of his voice? he's still hilarious. i thought it a fair review of the game. While i do hope whatever is ailing him leaves, the last time his voice was off, he spent the entire Extra Punctuation talking about how many people complained about his voice. Again, Yahtzee, hat off to you (wish it was a pimp-tight fedora) for another brilliant performance. Good luck with the Mana Bar, and get well soon.
