I think I'm almost done with it. It's not blowing me away as much as the rest of you guys but it is enjoyable. One thing that threw me off was the
Parappa the Rapper mechanic. Really? I'm playing a rhythm game? It was enough to make me shut it off for the night then deal with it the next day.

i think its good to upgrade all the accessories since they are only 1 level upgrades and they are cheap too.
I use the Hades Claws as my main weapons, love the area effects.

Finally got around to play it today, and so far I'm very pleased. Sure, it doesn't seem to be quite as good as GoW 2, but then again, very few games are. It seems like they've ramped up the combat difficulty a wee bit on normal, but so far (I'm at the
) nothing unmanageable. The double jump/glide mechanic was a bit wonky until I learned how to do it, but it's not too bad. Very impressive graphics, even when playing on a CDT TV via composite cable.

I wonder how the Clash of the Titans movie will do being a few weeks after God of War 3 released. People may be more in the mood for a Greek mythology movie.

whew, just finished the game on normal in about 9.5 hours. This was the God of Warsiest of the God of War games, aka the ultimate experience with these western character action games
Now i can finally check out this thread and the trials.
until Lincoln force

I played on Normal first because I wanted a fairly smooth run through as the game is more about the experience than the challenge, imo. Enjoying Titan now I'm playing it though, but I'm glad I understand the mechanics of things first.
Also, I LOVE the godly possessions. Some really cool game tweaks.

Finished it a while ago. GREAT game. Some thoughts:
- I think they blew their wad on the first 2 hours in terms of graphics. Nothing was as mind blowing as those first 2 hours for the rest of the game. It's not a case of me getting used to it either, it's just that the environments, and lighting as the game went changed completely which sort of took away from what made those first 2 hours spectacular. Uncharted 2 on the other hand was blowing my mind all the way up to the end.
- The flying vent section can die.
- Thank God they ironed out the frustrating sections on Normal. In both of the previous games, there was some pretty annoying sections to deal with (more so in the first game than the second) but it was 95% smooth sailing here. Not to say that it wasn't difficult enough, cause there were definitely some difficult situations, but nothing that felt impossible.
- Unlike Bayonetta, I can't see myself playing through this one again right away on higher difficulties (then 2 more times right after the 2nd time) The unskippable cutscenes, and QTEs would make it feel more like a chore than a fun time. The combat system also doesn't lend itself to a ton of replay ability on harder difficulties IMO. I'll probably come back to it in a couple of months though.
In the end, it's a great game. A definite front runner when mentioning some of the most impressive looking games right now, and probably the pinnacle of what they will be able to do with the GOW franchise. Instead of immediately moving on to an inevitable sequel or spin off, I'd rather Sony Santa Monica take what they've learned and were able to accomplish, and apply it to a new IP. Another GOW game wouldn't hurt, but there isn't much more you can do with these characters, combat system, and the setting without it feeling like more of the same. It's been a great run but old Kratos, and Olympus deserve a break now.

I thought the first time through was bad enough, but going back down was horrible. One wrong move, and you're screwed over and over during the 2 middle sections.

Just beat this, this game.
Umm, maybe I got an early build version but man I think I'm going to try and forget 3 and consider 2 as the end to the series. I can't believe how bad this game is:lol
Terrible dialogue, terrible QTE's, terrible story, terrible boss fights, terrible character design, terrible voice overs, terrible environments, terrible lighting, terrible level design, terrible A.I. That's enough "terribles" for now but if you want a game that fails to match it's predecessor in every way it's for you. It's like Santa Monica copy and pasted the same environment for 90% of the game and made it darker and more poorly lit than the last:lol
What a joke of game, the hype machine has failed me once more.
Back to Yakuza 3.

GRAPHICALLY, the first 2 hours still beat Cronos IMO. If we're talking about scale, or general "epicness," that's a different story, but my original comments were about the graphics.
