Brutality, violence, revenge and boobs. All words that encompass the God of war franchise, and the latest does not make any attempts to move from this successful formula.God of War 3 (GoW3) is the fourth game in the series and puts you once again in th...
Still a great game despite a few niggling flaws...

Remember at the end of God of War 2, where it said "The End Begins"? What will happen next? Will Kratos get his revenge on Zeus? Is God of War 3 actually going to be the final chapter in the series? Well, we are finally about to find out, and after wai...

The God of War trilogy spans two PlayStation generations, and God of War III could not look better - or prove the PS3’s abilities - in a more stunning way. This hotly anticipated HD bloodbath of guts and lost heads - sorry, Helios - is a godsend for So...
It’s fair to say that God of War III has taken the formula to its most advanced point so far. It is at its most basic level a game based on visceral bloodshed, with some quick time events and puzzles thrown in. If you are looking for some kind of dee...

Kratos is back and more brutal than ever for this final instalment in the God of War (GOW) series. Decapitating enemies barehanded, gouging out eyes, and disembowelling mythic beasts are all on the menu, with plenty of blood to boot. And it's now av...

On the surface, there’s not a great deal to love about Kratos. He’s a vicious, ruthless, amoral son-of-a-gun who wouldn’t be able to make it to the supermarket without three decapitations and a good half-dozen eviscerations. If he were standing...

The short review would be: more God of War, but bigger. Normally this would be a criticism, but in this case it isn't. God of War and God of War 2 were magnificent achievements: the biggest, bloodiest blockbuster action games of a console generation...

God of War III is the fitting conclusion to one of the greatest series in modern gaming, and while we doubt we've seen the last of God of War, the current saga sure goes out on a high...

God of War III starts off incredibly well, and initially was everything I'd hoped for. The epic scale has been dialed up, and everything that happens on the screen is amazing. For the first two hours anyway. After that it slowly devolves into God of Wa...

Page: 1 2 next > Talk about high expectations: as the final chapter in what is arguably the most successful action game franchise ever created, God of War III has a lot of things it needs to accomplish. One, it has to be a huge commercial success; two, it has to showcase the full capabilities of the PS3 hardware and raise the bar in terms of visual quality and gameplay refinement; and finally, it has to cap off the series' narrative arc in a way that not only meets fan expectations but bring...
A great action experience, with plenty of thrills and memorable moments; improves upon the franchise formula in almost every tangible way.
It doesn’t bring the story to a satisfying conclusion and the attempts to make sense of Kratos’ journey ultimately fall flat.
God of War 3 is more than an action game: it’s the conclusion to a commercially successful and critically acclaimed series that acts as the ‘face’ of Sony’s entire gaming brand; what Master Chief is to Microsoft and Mario is to Nin...

It's pretty much what we expect from this epic franchise, but the limited scope and fairly mundane ending hasn't rounded off this franchise with the dignity it deserves...
Great epic scale the series is known for. Mostly well told story. Looks great most of the time. Wonderful soundtrack. Fun combat system with a lot of weapons. Good pacing between combat and puzzle segments. Some very cool camera angles are used to display...
A surprising lack of polish in some parts. Sound bugs. Game crashed. Noticeable slowdowns and framerate drops at random times. Fixed camera will have you occasionally fight enemies you cannot see. Controls can be a little unresponsive during platforming s...

Kratos isn’t charming. He’s not interested in saving the world, rescuing a princess or really doing anything at all that doesn’t serve his immediate goals of getting revenge and tearing apart anyone that stands in his way. He’s a one-note character wit...

We begin this review with a quote, a quote from Plato and from the opening of God Of War III. In the game, of course, it refers to Kratos and the effect that power has had on him but in the case of God Of War III as a videogame, and the expectations on...
Kratos' PS3 debut is as you'd expect – gory, angry, epic… There aren't any great surprises but it ticks all the boxes, and stimulates all your gaming pleasure centers. It's an awesome thrill ride of a videogame. 9.1/10Print th...

Man, that Kratos is an angry dude. But fair enough – through three games now, he’s been screwed over by a huge menagerie of Greek legends.I’ve just finished the game, and I’m trying to collect my thoughts. I’ll start with the easy sum-up: if you’re a f...

God of War III opens with the kind of show-stopping sequence that most other games would happily end on. The mythic cliffs of Mount Olympus are depicted as a sweeping, war torn battlefield, with conflicts exploding across the craggy rock-face far into...

God of War 3)GOD OF WAAAAAAR 3!!! Okay, it's hard to do a Kratos interpretation with text and I'm sure quite a few gamers got excited as I did, when they heard that God of War III was finally being released and even better, it would be pure unadultera...

In God of War III (Sony) chains are a prominent feature. Fitting, given that Kratos, the protagonist of Sony’s video game trilogy, feels that his life has been bound by the whimsy of the Greek pantheon. Kratos’ main weapon is constructed of chains, and...

God of War III is probably the most brutal game we’ve ever played. Tearing off heads, crushing skulls, ripping out hearts, popping out eyes and disembowelling mythical creatures are what the game is about- in all its revolting awesomeness.Game develope...
GoW III is just more of the same; and that’s exactly what we’ve spent the last three years waiting for. This time round it’s just better looking, more brutal and more enjoyable- which is really saying something. We loved the combat, even though it gets...
