Review: God of War III

It is one of the biggest and most anticipated titles of the year. With nearly three year in making, God of War III returns to finish the storyline, which more of less involves every God in Greek mythology.

You don the role of main protagonist Kratos, an ex-Spartan warrior seeking vengeance from the Gods responsible for his family's murder.

The gameplay focuses on bloody melees between a heavily armed Kratos with a range unique weapons to choose from like blades of fire that swing circularly around you, lion-headed metal gloves that bash in skulls or even magic powers that turn into tornadoes.

But finally it is the graphics that take your breath away and the nearly more than 12-hour journey through gorgeously drawn environments of Hades and Olympus is nothing less than spectacularly detailed artwork.

One of the biggest letdowns in the game is it's camera work. There is so much of amazing landscape in the game, unfortunately, you just can't wait look around.

Even though there is no dearth of action in the game, it's the clash with the titans that makes your money's worth. A David vs Goliath gameplay is not just action packed, but also visually breathtaking.

All in all God of War III is a great end to the trilogy. With an amazing overall package costing nearly Rs 2,500 it can definitely be a great addition to your alltime favourite collection.
