I hear it's just a Darksiders/Dante's Inferno/Bayonetta rip-off!

Played the demo a few weeks ago (got access via my GoW Collectors Edition). Its awesome, and an early beta build too (unless the demo is different from the one I DL'd) so I have high hopes it will be as awesome as the first 2.
I never owned a PS2 so had never played GoW before. I was going to pick up the trilogy set, but at $300 and no other release of Gow 1 and 2 in NZ I decided to import the Collection. Fuck me I cant believe it took me so long to get it for my PS3. Play Asia ftw. $68 including postage

GoW 1 & 2 were fuken awesome on the ps2
They're the only games I've ever played through more than twice and only games I've ever clocked on insane mode more than once I don't own a ps3, but I'm bloody tempted to get one just for the GoW collection |

This is one of the few games I'm going to buy day one, without having played any of them, or demos, purely because everyone I know who's played the others rave about how awesome they are.

I must be living under a rock because until I saw the trailer for GOW3 I'd never even HEARD of the first two games ever.

Don't blame you. I had heard of them but never thought anything of them until recently. The last one was released in 2007, which is a big gap these days - no wonder you had not heard of them.

Just played the demo last night, that was friggin' cool :P I'm a little slow at picking up the controls, I hate it when they tell you how to do the controls right in the middle of being attacked by a horde of bad guys! I LOVED the violence, talk about gratuitous?!!

Epic so far! Graphics are the best I've seen on the ps3, out shines uncharted 2 even.

3 and a half hours in (would be more but work tomorrow, need sleep). Classic God of War here, Kratos is destroying everything in his path.
go go 500 buckets of blood |

I've never played the GoW series before and despite some misgivings about the demo, I went and bought the full game. Over the last couple of years, I've pretty much liked every single major PS3 exclusive release. Not this one.
If the start is meant to be the best part of the game as many reviewers have said, I'd better just rush through this and put this on Trademe to recover as much of the $99 I paid as possible. The boss fights have been predictable, boring and just plain not fun. Unless things change quickly, this might be the worst PS3 game in my collection. |

Then again each to their own. I hate FFXIII and I am in the minority. Shame you dont like it. For me best $80 i've spent in a while (Metro 2033 is also a lot of fun).

On the first boss, I personally feel Gow2's Colossus of Rhodes was more epic. |
|
19th March 2010, 12:51 | #26 |

Actually yeah - III's opening was epic but the Collossus was a standout.
Love how it feels like I've stepped straight from II into III it all feels very familiar and that's a good thing. Kratos is still a prick. Then again so is everyone else |
19th March 2010, 14:42 | #27 |

Yeah look I'm gonna go right ahead and agree with everyone except cyc , never played GoW, and this is just epic. The only downside I have so far is that I do feel like I really should have played the first two, it does feel like a continuation.
Just love the violence, gutting a centaur |

And I am not a mindless action/bashing game knocker. I thoroughly enjoyed the somewhat derided Heavenly Sword and in fact found that game much more appealling than GoW3. |

Can't connect with the main character maybe? Kratos is an antihero after all, much like a lot of Vin Diesel characters.

Right just beat the game.
Basic sum up. Absolutely fantastic game. In respect to the GoW series, I'd rank it second behind Gow2. |

Enjoying it so far. Worthy followup to the series.

A few hours into it so far. Loving it, as expected.

FWIW, I really enjoyed RE5. I sold that relatively quickly too but that was after absolutely grinding the shit out of it for about two weeks. I thought it was just so fun -- gaming can be a strange little thing. |

I didn't like RE5 either but may give it a crack with the Move controller, quite liked Heavenly Sword (Kai needed more air time though), as for GoW III...
I'm finding it a pleasant surprise after having played the E3 demo, that had me a little bit worried but they have polished the game a lot since then. Lot of references to the first two games which while don't lock you out of what's going on, do make you feel you've missed something. Lot of fun, very pretty (mostly), epic in scale and well paced. UI needs some extra work imo, do get a bit irritated with the dropping of button presses (opening chest, some jumps) and the voice, while okay with it now it reeked of Saturday morning cartoon overlord initially. Overall for me it's a good to great game and enjoying it. Been quite spoilt over the last year with releases, but GoW III still manages to hold its own. Not disappointed, just a bit arse I got on board so late in the franchise's cycle. |

about 8 hours into the game now, 243hit combo is my highest good times...
only thing I dislike is when you die (ie wasnt watching the screen and didnt hit r1 in time) you start almost exactly where you were, there is no penalty.
