The game starts off grim and runs with it until there is nothing that will shock you. Starting off with the game’s hero, Kratos, throwing himself off a cliff to his certain death, it’s obvious that this isn’t going to be a tail to tell to your grandkids.
The story in God of War is actually incredibly involving and something I haven’t experienced in a game of this type before. Whether you’re shoving a weapon down a Minotaur’s throat, or decapitating one of Medusa’s helpers, it’s all extremely violent, and, if you don’t mind that kind of thing, much fun.
While normal combat moves will see you slicing enemies in half and throwing blood everywhere, special finishing moves that are performed by pressing the buttons that correspond to the on-screen prompts are the most vicious attacks I have seen in a videogame. While you probably could hammer your way through the game, there are a huge number of combos that can be performed, weapons and magic to upgrade and some utterly brutal finishing moves to perform.īrutal, would in fact, be a better word to describe the game. They usually become tiresome very quickly and I have better things to do than hammer buttons for a few hours. I generally wouldn’t be interested in a game like that. For 90% of the game you are repeatedly pressing combinations of buttons in order to dispatch endless waves of enemies. You could simply call it a hack’n slash adventure. God of War is actually a very simple game. It is by no means perfect, but as gaming experiences go, this is up there with the best of them. Special games are rare the kind of game that grips you from the start and doesn’t let go the kind of game that you never thought was possible on the system you are playing it on the kind of game that you can’t stop talking about, even to your friends who don’t care one bit about the games you play.
