God Of War 3 reviews are pretty good but i cant wait to hear these same sites review Halo Reach and them ever mentioning how “Similar the gameplay is” as i keep hearing that from IGN and Gametrailers.. its pathetic.
Do they not realise its a game from a series with machanics that work?

Were the gameplay mechanics and physics really better in Dante’s Inferno?

“God of War III is much the same: a technical marvel, but with all the clever stuff turned towards the aim of very basic gratification. There are no branching paths, no complex decisions, and no multiplayer modes, but this particular game is all the better for it”
Thats more like it.

Waiting for EDGE to give it either a three or an eleven to get a few extra hits, as they’re want to do.
Also, game informer gives it a double-10:

you guys are really sad.
Edge gave the original a 8. if GoW was the first title that brought this type of gameplay to consoles they’d probably rate it a 9.

Indeed, and the second got an 7.
Chains of Olympus also got 7.
A 7 in EDGE is the equivalent of all those 8.5s in every other site listed up there.

Hey, what happened to that ‘leaked’ IGN 10/10?
Regardless, excellent results all round, I’d quite like to play this through at some point.
I’m thinking Edge will go with an….. 8.
