cool, but also frustrating

This game basically has only peripherally to do with fun. It is aimed at more experienced probably only console gamers (which I would but I actually also count)
To summarize the advantages and disadvantages of all:

per:
- Bombastic graphics
- Interesting story
- Cool protagonist
- Witty humor, connected with partly excessive violence

Cons:

- The excessively high level of difficulty in the first playthrough

- May be that the game will be easier on the second pass, since you there already has several attacks from the start, but I rarely play through more than once before a game

- You choose at the beginning of the stage "Beginners" from you has indeed, in most cases more than enough power, but also takes over the computer all combo attacks; the game is simply just boring (can be but still during the game at "normal" change)

- The "Normal" level, however, is already so difficult to buck that also may arise no fun - The reason: you only have a fraction of the energy as "beginners"

- Also very frustrating: Alfheim, a kind regularly emergent secret level. Beginners sit well in advance two or three hours to one and the same world - which is, however, only a single space in which you must then start all over again. At fault are not the strong opponents, but the fact that so has only three whole minutes to 50 or opponents. Had omitted the timer here, these worlds would still have been difficult enough in my opinion.

- Another problem is that the combat system is mainly based only on that one opponent attacks evades time subsequently want to enable the so-called witches time, so that the playing time for the enemy is slowed. The ends then regularly connected in stupides Buttonmashing with one and the same blow combination

- To sum it up: the frustration factor is very very high in this game

- In addition, for example, nor that the assessment at the end of the world is based in part on the number of death - only that death is merely understood as an energy loss of an entire beam; ie if one is theoretically twice briefly aufpowert very near death considered the still died as least estend once. (WTF?!?)

- The eternal background tooting is a sometime really on the biscuit

Conclusion: a game for all, where God of War has always been too easy
