Game Review - God Of War
Apr. 8th, 2005 09:48 pmTitle: God Of War
Genre: Action/Adventure
Platform: PS2
Complete: Yes
Price Paid: $49.99
Would Pay: $24.99
sigh The search for a game worth the standard initial release price continues.
Technically, there's little to fault in this game. The graphics are gorgeous, bordering on next-gen. There is almost no clipping, something practically unheard of in any of the other 3D games I've played over the years. The camera is automatic, not user controlled, something in other games I would roundly slam. It's implemented near perfectly here.
Then comes the game itself. For the most part, it's a blast. Wielding the blades of chaos through hordes of enemies, ripping off Gorgon's heads, all loads of fun. However, at times the game is very, very unbalanced - too many of too powerful monsters, horrendous traps some of which have to be tried over and over again to finally get right. These segments just sucked the fun out of it for me, dulling the rest of the game. If those segments weren't there, I would've been incredibly pleased with the game, ranking it up there with my favorites. Instead, I'm considering selling it back and that's something I have yet to do with any game I bought.
