God of War III
The name alone inspires awe. This is a game that is destined for greatness. The series has been extremely succesful thus far. God of War I scored a 9.8/10 on IGN and God of War II scored a 9.7/10 on IGN. So this game has a lot to live up to. But I think it's going to surpass even the highest expectations.
I've heard quite a few cool new features about this game, including amazing new special attacks, at least one awesome new weapon, and a unbelievable type of level to fight on. But before I give to much away, maybe you should watch the trailer. It is age restricted though, I believe you need to be 17 or older to watch it. Shortly into the video you will see one of the amazing new attacks, then just a little after that you will see the awesome new weapon I mentioned, and right near the end you'll see exactly what I meant about an unbelievable new type of level. So enough talking, watch for yourself...
If you have not finished God of War II then the following paragraph contains Spoilers
At the end of God of War II you see Kratos riding on a Titans back while they attack Mount Olympus. What I wondered was how they were going to make a whole game out of it if it started off with the battle with the Gods? What would be left if the great battle was at the begining? But my question has been answered. With the new type of level to fight on there are many possibilities for battles before the great battle. In true Greek Mythology fashion Mount Olympus is unbelievably tall, even compared to the gigantic Titans. So there will be a lot of time on the way up. But don't fear about getting bored on the way up, because you will fight right on the Titans back, as you will have seen in the above trailer. The Titan itself becomes the site of huge battles.
The new attacks add a whole new dimension to the fight. The Titans' backs are covered in small moutains and canyons, which makes you wonder "Isn't there something I could use those cliff sides for?" Well with the new attacks the answer is yes. As seen in the trailer there are now amazing 3-D wall to ground attacks where you can leap onto a wall, into the air and attack your foe from above.
And of course there are also the new weapons. The Gauntlets. These weapons add a whole new style of fighting to the God of War series. You can now fight up close and personal. With the new Gauntlets you have the ability to punch and grapple with the enemy, making all kinds of opportunities for spectacular new moves.
Now that I've talked about it here's an article from IGN that will give an overview of the story, and the amazing quality of the visuals.
"Set in the realm of Greek mythology, God of War III for the last time puts Kratos at the center of the carnage and destruction as he seeks revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him. A single-player game, this final chapter allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he treads through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell once more to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, Kratos must take on mythology's darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles throughout his merciless quest to destroy Olympus.
Utilizing a new game engine built from the ground up and state-of-the-art visual technologies, the development team behind God of War 3 have made significant strides in giving players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds. With texture resolutions being quadrupled since God of War 2, God of War 3 will feature fluid, life-like characters, as well as dynamic lighting effects, a robust weapon system, and world-changing scenarios that will truly bring unmistakable realism to Kratos' fateful quest. Players will have a chance to join battles on a grand scale with many more enemies on-screen and be able to interact with levels like never before."
If after reading all of this you still don't want to get this game then I don't think there is anything that could make you want to play this game. I trully believe this game is going to be absolutely astonishing.
The game is set to be released December 30, 2009
