Ian checks out God of War III
For my first review, I will be reviewing the Playstation 3 video game God of War III.
Though somewhat lacking in plot in contrast to the previous two in the series, God of War III is still phenomenal due to its amazing gameplay and new additions to the ever-expanding list of combat moves and weapons.
The innovative combat style, which has become an iconic characteristic of the series, is thus far unparalleled in the world of video games and is able to remain so due to the impressive fluidity of the game’s primary weapons, the “Blades of Exile.” Besides sounding cool, this interesting set of chained blades is a perfect match for the game’s tormented protagonist, Kratos. In the parlance of our times, Kratos is a “badass” and should be recognised as such.
Furthermore, the game is set in ancient Greece among the Gods and Titans and is played through third-person combat.
Besides the captivating series of mazes and puzzles the player must navigate through, God of War III is an exceptionally good way to relieve stress through the merciless yet passionate slaughter of mythological Greek monsters.
