    With God of War II, I easily complained that the game did not bring anything new compared to number one.

The authors seem to have listened to me and offered us a full-fledged, this time the third sequel, which brings some of the changes. God of War I was a great game that should be played by every proud PlayStation fan. God of War II for a lot of people and the best part of the series and for me an amazing sequel to the game. How's God of War III? Awesome! The play throws us a delicious intro right at the beginning, which immediately draws us in with the music and reminds us of the events of the previous parts with its visual. Yes, the intro may be slightly longer than in previous games, but it's not a bad thing when it's the third part of the series, so it's nice for the game to recap the events in the story of the previous parts. However, after the end of this intra and the subsequent film, which will introduce us to the negatives, the game throws us into action and friends, it is delicious here! Yes, it was already delicious in previous games, but this time the authors shifted it a bit thanks to the fact that the game is already for newer generations of consoles and thanks to that it looks much better and especially the blood looks much more realistic and sprays a lot here. Violence and adult content in general is not a problem for the game and there will be sex scenes, as in previous episodes, when we simply have to press the buttons and turn the gamepad levers as the game shows us to get Red Orbs, thanks to which we will subsequently improve. Yes, there is, of course, character improvement here. Don't look for much here. Simply improving your swords and your abilities for even more bloodthirsty action. Speaking of the constant action and that there are a lot of them, I must not forget the locations where the game takes place. Although they have not undergone such a complete change and we will move here mainly in palaces and not so much somewhere in the wild, it does not matter, because the location simply looks different. Either it is because they got a new graphic jacket that suits them and they look more realistic, but personally I think it's because the game is so dark all the time and don't look for much light here compared to one and two. It's constantly cloudy and just dark, but it has its charm and it all makes you feel like the game is coming to a finish and that this is no longer a fairy tale, which of course wasn't even in previous games, but in short the game seemed a bit darker. To top it all off, there are some puzzles here and there that will give you a break from all those battles. When you jump through the game to the last hours of playing, a delicious end awaits you, which will suit you with the action-packed final of the game. I'm not going to spoiler with whom he has the honor at the end of the game Kratos, but I'll tell you that it was delicious and overall The Final Boss here is something delicious that ends the series. The whole thing seems like such an ending, although at the time of writing this review it is not the ending, because later God of War (2018) was published. But back to the three. To sum it all up. God of War III is an amazing game that brings even better action in new nice graphics. After all, the game looks slightly different from the previous ones, thanks to the already mentioned darker cloudy environment. The story, although amazing, still still, in my opinion, just doesn't have a first part. For me, however, an amazing game that fans of the series will devour, but overall I recommend this game.… Expand

    This game, which appeared during the collapse of the God of War franchise, proved that the god of war is not dead.
    But the adolescent personality of the kratos and the childish behavior of the gods spoil the seriousness of the game.

    Awesome boss battles, awesome soundtrack, great graphics, great gameplay that flows better than the previous GOW titles, great cutscenes and top quality voice acting. One of my only complaints is the inconsistency in level design with some levels being great and some levels being not so good. I also don't feel like replaying it because of its linearity.

    In my opinion, is the best game out of the GOW franchise, simply epic, and the new enhanced and mastered version makes it more awesome to watch and play, the landscapes, the music and great boss fights makes this game one of the greatest in history!

В 3 часть полностью оправдала мои ожидания после покупки. В ней хороша и графика, и боевка, шикарные QTE (лучшие из всей старой линейки игр). Также хочеться отметить великолепный визуал и красивые локации. Но вот во время прохождения истории у меня возникло чувство того, что что то определенно не так, вроде как и особо не отличаеться ''качеством'' от других частей, но все таки мне чего то не хватало (ИМХО, хотя может и исторее действительно слабее стала) Но даже не смотря на это я считаю что 3 часть - это достойное завершение оригинальной трилогии. Если вы играли во все предыдущие игры линейки, то я думаю эта вас уж точно не разочарует. Но если же вы не играли в первые две части и рассматриваете покупку третьей по каким либо причинам, то она вполне возможно может вам не понравиться (у меня была похожая ситуация, но как же я все таки рад что решил пройти все игры сам). На этом этот небольшой думаю можно закончить. (это не часть обзора а личное мнение, крик Вильгельма в первой заставке уж совсем не сочетаеться с игрой (◣_◢) )… Expand

    Es frenético y la historia te emociona ya que se trata de la culminación de la venganza de Kratos.

    Truly a masterpiece. No game has ever pushed the limits of the ps3 like this one. The massive scales, the beautiful graphics, the very-good at worst combat. This game had a very big impact on games of its time. A very fun and interesting game. While not having a good story, it truly shines as an excellent game with well-crafted mechanics. I love it! It is definitely a must-play.

    An excellent and brutal action game that perfectly caps the original God of War trilogy. The combat is responsive and satisfying, the story is epic and conclusive, the bosses and set pieces are top notch. The similarities between three of your four weapons are is only tarnish on this otherwise all-time classic.

    God of war 3 is a fantastic game overall. It may fall flat in some areas but at the end of the day it is an almost perfect end to the main GoW trilogy. The graphics are great, combat remains up to standard with the rest of the franchise and the story is well crafted and a great conclusion.

    Vaya juego brutal, es frenético, épico es un juego recomendable para todos y más si te gustaron los primeros 2 juegos ya que su banda sonora es igual de imponente, la jugabilidad es mejorada ampliandola con nuevas armas y jefes de lo mejor que se han visto en toda la saga

    God Of War III is a game you should own! In fact, you should own every God Of War! But the third part is brutal, bloody and brilliant! It improves every aspect that made this series epic. So good, it hurts!

    Sure, there weren't much quality of life changes applied to the gameplay department and it is not deep or anything, most of the time it can be resumed to frantically mashing buttons but the enemies and boss designs were so cool and the cinematic during fights were excellent that that can be forgiven. God of War III is a mindless fun game and one of the best eye-candy games. The story is good to boot too so it's not a bad deal even if it doesn't have Dark Souls-level combat.    … Expand

    +Combat
    +Combo variety.
    +Platforming is good for an hack and slash game.
    +Boss battles
    +QTE's.
    +Gore,violence
    +Soundtracks - Story is not as good as the first one.(but better than the second one)
    -Also unlike the first two games,this one doesn't have a narrator.

    But despite God of War III being afraid of flying too close to the sun -lest those carefully crafted wings should melt- the journey is relentlessly exciting; a blistering spectacle told in blood and thunder. Truly epic, then. And I defy anyone to argue with the definition this time around.

    God of War 3 is fantastic, and has at least three scenes that are utterly magnificent. Design and gameplay-wise, it's absolutely stunning. The downside is that it doesn't have that clear cut perfection that its predecessor had; the polish shine that brilliantly lit up our eyes when we first enjoyed God of War 2.
