In terms of the story, it continues where the story ended in the previous installment, God of War 2. You play the role of Kratos, a former champion of the gods that attained godhood at the expense of the former god of war, Ares.
God of War 3 sees you continuing your desire to destroy Zeus. But this time, you are not alone. With the threads of fate, you have brought along with the once defeated titans. And leading them, is Gaia. This is where you start your journey, on the living world, Gaia.
In terms of the way the game plays, it is very much similar to the two previous installments on the PlayStation 2. Over the top gore and action is the primary theme all parts of the series, not just God of War 3. The story is well fleshed out with similarly challenging tasks ahead of you.
Your weapons of choice, Athena’s blades, are still made available in the beginning. However, they undergo a name change to the Blades of Exile. It’s the same weapon with a different name. A big change to this game is the variety of weapons now available to Kratos.
The games received very favorable reviews from both the fans and critics. The average score it received from reviews fall in the ninety percent range. Needless to say, Sony has another bestseller on its hands with fans lapping it up. Already, there are videos on YouTube with the popular battles that Kratos undergoes in the game.
All the old battle combos are still present with the addition of some new ones. Overall, the God of War 3 is still great fun despite it being largely the same as parts one and two. But why mess with a good formula? The game still delivers a solid story along with the much vaunted action play that this series is famous for.
