‘God of War III’ rips into retail
Sony’s eagerly anticipated third-person action game is now available. Quite simply, if you’re a PS3 owner and over the age of 17, then you most definitely should snag this extraordinary adventure.
Bigger and badder than its popular predecessors, God of War III ($60) is set once again in the realm of brutal Greek mythology and starring the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos.
With his wrist-mounted blades and new weapons — a fiery bow, magic and combo attacks — this fallen god and son of Zeus must avenge those who have betrayed him in a 3D world four times larger than the last game. You’ll face off against mythological creatures such as Cyclops, Minotaurs, Centuars and Cerberus.
In fact, the sense of scale is absolutely incredible, beginning with Kratos running down the arm of Gaia, an enormous earth-like Titan god, as she climbs up Mount Olympus; you’ll battle a horned beast with gigantic claws while hanging onto Gaia, even upside-down. Major boss battles are back, too, and become increasingly tough to take down as you inch towards the epic confrontation at the end of the game.
Take heed to the game’s “Mature” rating, though, as Kratos has a penchant for beheading and disembowelment, plus the game features some nudity and sexual inferences, as well.
As with the other “God of War” games, the controls are tight and responsive, graphics are outstanding, and you can unlock behind-the-scenes content on the disc.
Whether you’re new to the franchise or a longtime fan, God of War III is an extraordinarily fun and gratifying (but gory) sequel.
