The biggest fault that I find with the God of War games is that they are all so similar. The original developers obviously realised this, hence the incredibly overt glowing prompts that appear throughout the game. This can be frustrating, especially during some of the otherwise excellent puzzle sections. The restricted camera allows for a more controlled cinematic experience, but can make it sometimes difficult to see where or what to do next.

The locked camera angle that is a staple of the series takes a bit of getting used to, with the right analogue stick instead being used to evade. The puzzles swing from being fun to frustrating with alarming regularity. Where it not for God of War IIIРІР‚в„ўs inspired (and somewhat epic) puzzles, you could dismiss the series as being no more than a mindless hack and slash. Some chest contain special items like Phoenix feathers used to increase stat bars. Red orbs level up KratosРІР‚в„ў weapons and magic powers, green orbs refill KratosРІР‚в„ў heath meter and blue robs refill magic. Levels are littered with chests offering a red, blue or green orbs. Nothing stands in his way as playes are treated to some of the most over-the-top finishing moves in gaming history.Р”Р„s you progress in the game Kratos is endowed with an increasingly menacing arsenal of weapons, usually supplied at the cost of a Greek godРІР‚в„ўs life. Kratos hacks and slashes his way through Greek mythology, tearing the heads off of Medusas and gutting Centaurs.

Gigantic limbs get severed by his blades and bloody finishing moves delivered by the only quick time events that IРІР‚в„ўve ever felt actually worked well in a game.Р”Р„s with the other games in the series, God of War III is brutal, featuring some of the goriest executions this side of Mortal Kombat.

The battles are often epic, with a tiny Kratos, leaping up to give oversized, lumbering opponents the beat-down. A man battling massive Titans and huge mythological beasts. Kratos is a mighty killing machine, but he is still a man РІР‚вЂњ a dead man resurrected, for sure, but still a man. What sets the game apart from other similar hack and slash affairs is its huge sense of scale. The game starts with a breathtaking sequence on the back of the huge Titan Gaia, setting the scene for the epic action to follow. Kratos is after Zeus and he run through the entire Greek Parthenon of gods if thatРІР‚в„ўs what it takes. God of War III follows on directly from the events of the second game, with fallen Spartan, Kratos- the titular God of War aiding the Titans with assault of Mount Olympus. The gameРІР‚в„ўs plot, loosely based on Greek mythology, is wafer thin, but serves its purpose to transport Kratos to his next set of hapless victims and huge set pieces, admirably. The action is exhilarating, but lack any substance. Like the Devil May Cry series, the God of War games could be distilled down to simple button-mashing affairs. With the spectacle of it all removed are we are left with a just fairly ordinary slash-em-up?

The original PS3 version with its drop-dead gorgeous visuals still holds its own, providing a gaming experience that they must have found difficult to improve on.Р”В¬ompared to the original release, when God of War III turned heads and had everyone talking, this re-release sees the games visuals go from being on the cutting edge to being great, but as expected, on the PS4. Like the remastered PS4 version of The Last of Us, God of War III Remastered is a bit of a victim of its own success.

The original God of War III was a technical marvel on the PS3, being one of the few games to run at 1080p natively.

Even the PlayStation Portable games God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta got a PS3 reissue.Р”Р„s remasters go, Wholesale Algorithms РІР‚вЂњ the studio charged with polishing up KratosРІР‚в„ў third outing, must have found most of the hard work already done for them.

God of War and God of War II, both originally PS2 games, were scrubbed up for the PS3. The God of War series must be the most remastered franchise in the history of video games. It is no surprise that Sony Computer Entertainment chose to remaster KratoРІР‚в„ўs third outing for their shiny new-gen console. It seems like only yesterday that I finished with the blood-soak antics of Kratos in 2010РІР‚в„ўs God of War III on PS3, and yet here I am again, this time reviewing God of War III Remastered for PlayStation 4. My eye-watering sense of dР“В©jР“В vu returned, once more, as I sat down with yet another remastered last-gen game.
