Poor story beats aside, God of War III is still lavish in its offerings of engaging spectacle and extravagant excitement, and that's something that hasn't diminished in the intervening years between the original release and this Remastered version. It's tossed aside for the sequels, and while there's entertainment in the violence and spectacle, the story lacks heart, so when the writing turns to touching on forgiveness and hope, it clashes badly with the previous hours of slaughter.īut: entertainment. A touching story deftly executed amid the violence. The first game had classic Greek tragedy stylings, a general who goes on the warpath after suffering great personal loss only to be gripped by repentance when he realises peace of mind will never be found. While the fight with Zeus doesn't measure up to what's come before, it's also crippled by the need to hammer home the message that justifies Kratos' rage and anger. Shame then that the same cannot be said for the final battle with Zeus, as the creative fire that burned so bright for the game's first two acts fizzles out in its third.

On its peak stands Zeus, Hades and Poseidon ready to counterattack. GoWIII starts with Kratos climbing Mount Olympus, riding on the back of the titan Gaia, to dispose of the gods he swore revenge on. The series has become synonymous with the word 'epic' and rightly so.

It's Devil May Cry's stylish combat overlaid with cinematic fervour and Clash of the Titans-infused magnificence.Īnd it is perhaps that grandeur that has become the series' hallmark, it's what the fans responded strongly to and expect every time Kratos starts a new bloody crusade. It's a thoroughly entertaining journey that's almost primal in the way it satisfies, and so good were the twists and turns that took us round each and every corner, it was hard to put down the controller. It offered an obscene amount of violence and blood filtered through a fantasy epic as gods duelled. It was also the most polished, most responsive and most satisfying of the three titles.

This third entry offered some of the best boss fights and weapons of the series up to that point. The God of War series has been one of Sony's strongest over the last decade, and it took the brilliant The Last of Us to knock God of War III off our top spot for favourite PS3 game - until then Kratos had towered over even the Helghast, Nathan Drake and Yamauchi.
