I do love it on IGN when the idiots start ripping apart the score.

Firstly they haven’t even played the game and secondly what wrong with a fucking 9.3? As IGN puts it – Outstanding.

Looking forward to Edge giving it a -7 because Kratos looked at them funny on the title screen.

10/10

9-10 seems to be the average so far.

And hey, i liked Dante’s Inferno. Was actually decent, GoW clone? Maybe, but GoW with a karma tree which was nice.

this just in: hundreds of Sonybots commited suicide in the past 10-20 minutes. GoW didn’t get perfect scores.

@25 actually it’s a solid 9.

I don’t understand this. Everybody have a complain about *God Of War 3 is the same as God Of War 1,2* NO SHIT SHERLOCK…

and because of that it has 9.2-9.3 and e.t.c.

I think gaming websites get confused between similarity and consistency.

All those people who cry and complain about a game not getting a 9.8 or even 10..why the hell do you care so much about that? A 10 is nonsense anyway, no game can get a 10. Nothing is perfect.

a 9.3 from IGN is fine for example, why even complain? sigh…and really, in the end..what matters most is what you think about the game, not a reviewer. This is aimed at those sad souls who always cry about that shit.

@ 47: No 10? A ten does not mean that it’s perfect but means that it’s a new standard a game everybody will talk about for years to come. Half Life 2, HALO, Ocarina of Time, Golden Eye, ICO, Shadow of the Collosus, Warcraft, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Tekken 3, SF 4…the list goes on and on. These games and others were something really special, and you’re right GoW 3 is not a ten considering the titles above. But to say no game deserves a ten is a bit rubbish imo.

@ 48, i agree with that. I didn’t understand those reviews at all. I played a huge bit of DI and i liked it alot, Gametrailers was also whining about the smallest things, not things to complain about anyway.

@47 its because people feel that the game is underrated. God Of War is a Santa Monica work that looks absolutely stunning and it deserve some recognition.

I remember Mass Effect 2 reviews. That was seriously overrated. Babylon 5, Star Trek story, characters with the same mechanics and with the last Terminator boss recieve 96% overall?

But here, people complain that God OF War 3 is the same as God Of War 1,2. Fans expect that and buying this game because they know what to expect.
