Fun, gorgeous, but frustrating and boring in spots(Review From Amazon) | General Comments: God of War is, in some ways, a truly excellent game. The graphics are flat-out gorgeous. Much of the gameplay is fun, self-consistent, and challenging without being unmanageable. However, there are several sections wherein the challenge consists of a disease common to many modern games: shoving boxes around while under fire. Perhaps some people enjoy this form of "challenge", but I don't. A very small amount goes a long way, then frustration and boredom set in. Add to this a few sections where you need to use an oversensitve controller to tiptoe across balance beams (or die instantly from a stupefyingly short fall). Too bad; this is a good game otherwise. Hopefully they'll leave the U-Haul portions out of God of War II. |
