Kratos will once again only one thing: revenge. And it also shows in almost every imaginable minute. There is probably no other anti-heroes of the PS3 story of niedermetzelt everything and everyone so ruthless, yet cool.
Anno two thousand something God of War on PS2 struck like a bomb and celebrated great success. Of course, it was followed by the second part, which was even bigger, even more pompous and more brutal. Now, the third at the start and fits seamlessly into the events in the gameplay of the previous and the Steiegrung Series a.
Graphically has GoW3 course made a mad leap forward and you can not pull to compare the predecessor. However, I would like to take at this point often compared "Dante's Inferno" for comparison and I find that both titles in terms of graphics differ not particularly large. Both the gameplay and render sequences are almost on the same level. Do not misunderstand, Kratos already looks better, but not by far. However, since the comparison ends there.
Moreover GoW3 offers home high opponents ... and we really are talking about huge opponents super designed, some huge areas, an "all-round satisfaction weapons package" (the best example is probably the "nemeiischen lion" and a hero whom it so definitely there a second time. God of War 3 is in terms of gameplay and staging so again Bigger and Better than any other game in the genre, and by far, because it plays like butter, has a lot of variety and motivated to for the grand finale.
Who now but super mega many innovations expected of running the risk of being disappointed. GoW3 invents the wheel definitely not new, but it is well-known and highly successful stylistic device of the series skillfully and consistently pursued. Kratos remains the Primus of the genre and he finished the series with flying colors. The main elements of such powerful combos, much much much much much blood, a whole lot of blood, magic-deposits, a lot of anger, short and crisp Quicktime events, varied and above all creative guns diversity, great composed music and a cool staged story about the gods and Mount Olympus are, back in the thick of it. It small (usually easily releasable) puzzles are integrated into the game again, which indeed are not particularly demanding, but every now and again to bring a well-deserved break with it. The Syncronisation incidentally again extremely well done and reflects the characters, especially Kratos, good again.
All Multiplayer fans look into part 3 back into the tube, because here you get no multiplayer on offer. For other side activities but when you want to call it because.
GoW3 course brings you new weapons but which are extremely cool will not reveal at this point, as these contribute to the story and spoilers uncool. The story includes the way seamlessly to its predecessor, and it give also old familiar characters the honor. It is therefore advisable to take off from God of War 3 have necessarily gambled the first two parts. The known QuickTime Events are again one of the party and serve mostly to kill opponents spectacular. Except story relevant Außnahmen it lies mostly on a self to use these. And do not worry, the QuickTime events are limited and are not as long and extensive, such as the QuickTime Primus "Heavy Rain" ;-)
Also on board again are the Herrausforderungslevel which still should provide neat gameplay and frustrating moments to the story. Speaking of gameplay: the length of class darkly staged story settles on one of the higher difficulty levels between 10 and 12 hours ... TOP. Of course, the control goes again loosely from his hand and "GoW veterans" will find the same deal. Newcomers should have no major problems.
And despite all the praise, there are also a few negative points which "largely" the graph to be a burden. Viewed in graphics package makes GoW3 a more than magnificent figure, but I have discovered in some places, "squishy" textures which, although noticeable only in detail, but it is noticeable and not should have been. Also sometimes zickt control, besonderst climbing locations followed by "reverse jump" make on a surface is like a little complicated.
And here's the most common question asked: "Is the German version Uncut?" ... Yes ... the German version is 100% Uncut! :-)
CONCLUSION:
Kratos sunk in the last offshoot any competitors and remains the genre God. Since even the often compared Dante alone has defeated even at the weapons variety of Kratos. God of War 3 is without talking about the bush, one of the best games on the PS3 and worth every single penny. Sure, there are a few minor faults which but definitely not hurt the overall package. It is a game in a class which perfectly integrates itself into the Saga about Kratos and from the start to the finals has the bomb. There are no moments where you say: "Oh man, why have the taken out !?" nor where they say: "Oh, what's that supposed to now !?". If, then usually occurs only wonder and sometimes terror on the part really brutal scenes.
So, for all owners of the first two parts, it is to access. For all new Olympians, definitely only Part 1 & 2 gamble ... and then access ;-)
