God Of War III is the latest (and supposedly last) game in the God Of War series. The first two GoW titles appeared on the PS2, but God Of War III is now a Playstation 3 exclusive.
The game has been getting great reviews from all quarters, but that doesn’t mean squat when Zero Punctuation gets its hands on the game. Does Ben Yahtzee ‘Croshaw’ like the game? Is the Pope a Muslim?
OK, maybe that’s a little unfair. It’s not as though Yahtzee hates God Of War III; in fact, saying “God Of War III is fun, I suppose” is about as complimentary as he gets. But it’s feint praise at best in the big scheme of things.
I think the problem is that GoW 3 is just too samey. It really does follow the same plot as the previous two games, and gives you roughly the same weapons and finishing moves to kill the bad guys off with.
If you liked the first two games and want more of the same, then God Of War III should fill you with utter joy. Otherwise, maybe try something new and innovative.
