"...everything in God of War serves a purpose and adds to making the overall adventure exciting, fun and frustration free (unless of course you're feeling masochistic -- and that's what God Mode's for). The action and adventure elements are both at the top of their game and merge extremely well. With all the talk about next-generation systems coming soon, God of War serves as a good smack-to-the-face reminder of why this generation doesn't want to be left behind."
