It's a decent action game, but way too much hand holding for my tastes. Not much in the way letting you solve problems, everything is laid out for you and tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. Even combat is heavily scripted -- you can jump in the air, hit a button and a mini-cutscene plays of [Kratos] rippings arms off of an [enemy].
It does everything short of giving you an "I win" button.
