It’s official: War is good. Well, “God of War III”, anyway. The game has received almost unanimously glowing reviews from just about every major games reviewer following its debut on the PS3.
GamesRadar gave the game the full ten out of ten marks, declaring it to be “A 10 hour experience that constantly delivers cool new areas to explore and diverse monsters that are a joy to fight.” Destructoid was similarly effusive, also awarding the game ten out of ten and remarking, “If you’re looking to show off the power of your console, this is your new showcase – it’s an experience that simply can’t be missed.” 1Up gave “GoWIII” an “A” rating, describing it as “the most consistent and varied of the trilogy, and when it’s at its best the first two can’t touch it.” GameSpot likewise awarded it close to full marks – nine out of ten from them – saying it was “A brilliantly paced, meticulously detailed adventure that thrills and satisfies until the very end.”
Nine out of ten was also awarded by TheSixthAxis, which noted that “There won’t be a developer on the planet that isn’t looking at what’s been achieved here with envious eyes.” IGN UK upped its mark to 9.4/10, calling it “Simply breathtaking, on a scale that puts most Hollywood blockbusters to shame. Attention to detail is so meticulous it’s virtually impossible to fault.” And finally, computerandvideogames.com chimed in with the comment that it “sets the mark for all-out action brawlers with unrivalled brutality, gore and epic scope.”
The message is clear – buy, buy, buy!
