Beautiful gameplay, but a little short

In this third installment, Kratos takes on the remaining gods and Zeus himself in a beautiful and ruthless campaign. Overall, the game gets 4/5 for story, graphics, and game-play. The story is 4/5 as it does advance well from the previous 2 installments that I would recommend playing. It does not, however, go into too much detail how you ended up climbing Mt. Olympus so it may be confusing at first and the end does lose some value, but I won't spoil anything, but an ending is an ending even if we don't like it to be. Graphics are spectacular 5/5 as the scenery looks vast and detailed in full HD. Characters and effects are great eye candy as you slay many evil creatures of mythology. Game play I give 3/5 because the story on normal can be done in a day with experienced players and even on hard (depending on your persistence). side challenges are neat as it adds some extra playtime, but clearly those who play single player games are interested in in-depth story modes. The game play also can get repetitive with each creature as you go swinging your blades of different variety which end up being very similar anyways. Not much else has changed either. The puzzles in this game are not complex as in other installments (which makes it easier to walk though I would guess). One last thing as we know someone always does this. **Caution to those who never read the cover rating, that there is nudity and sex content in the game, and not just gruesome violence. So please use your head when purchasing if you would take offense or have family. ** It is ancient Greece after all...Read full review
