In the end there really was chaos!

So the God of War trilogy is sorta kinda "finished" at the end of God of War 3...mostly. I won't spoil anything so here is my quick non spoiler synopsis of the game. Kratos is really angry so he goes on his quest to get his revenge on the greek gods and titans and everyone else that did him wrong.

Overall the game was really fun and a lot of people were big whiners saying the second half isn't as good as the first but they are just big babies because the whole game is equally good. That however is kind of the problem. The game is really just "good", not great or awesome even. They do everything right, such as Kratos being really really angry and theres lot of blood and violence and other things associated with a god of war but thats about it. They didn't really raise the bar much with anything. The graphics were fine but I thought they could do a bit better with the PS3's cpu power and blu ray's storage capabilities (however no installation was a nice touch). The story was good but predictable except for the ending which was a nice end for the series, even though more whiner babies didn't like it. The controls were almost the exact same as the previous games in the series which was nice but again it was already done before and mostly just button mashing. This was fine five years ago but isn't it time for a change up?

In the end God of War was good and I recommend everyone with a PS3 to play it but just don't go expecting anything revolutionary. Its a super high quality game with excellent production values and the game truly knows what it is. The trouble just comes from the developers being too scared to evolve the game from what it used to be and change it with the times. I don't blame them for wanting to give the fans the game they expect but it would have just been nice to play something that felt fresh as opposed to "here we go again!".

My recommendation is to play it, but rent it. Once you finish it you've pretty much done everything with it.
