About God of War III

Set in the realm of brutal Greek mythology, God of War III is a single-player game that allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he scales through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, and an array of new weapons and magic for this iteration of the trilogy, 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 III has made standard-setting strides in giving players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds. With texture resolutions quadrupling since God of War II on PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, God of War III, in its debut on the PS3 system, 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 that is four times larger than its predecessor.

Every duel against Hades ends the same way in my head, and I'm too tired to argue it differently this time.

    los combates de dioses justifican para mí toda la reputación, incluso jugando poco y sin terminar todo el juego.

    I still remember the sheer scale of the environments, climbing higher and higher and thinking it couldn't top itself, and it kept doing it anyway, this game deserves way more respect than it gets these days!

    L'escalade impressionne un temps, mais elle finit par se répéter, les mêmes silhouettes gigantesques reviennent sous d'autres couleurs.

    La reconnaissance change quoi au fond, franchement ? On refait ce constat sur l'ampleur à chaque duel sans que ça bouge la place.

    Ma sœur regardait jouer, terrifiée et hilare en même temps.

    Je devrais avoir honte d'aimer autant taper des monstres géants à mains nues, mais non, aucun regret ici.

    NovaSniper2

    Le combat à mains nues est satisfaisant mais la réponse manette accuse un léger flottement dès qu'on enchaîne trop vite les esquives.

    TurboLegend

    À côté d'un Hades qui varie sans cesse ses combats, celui-ci mise tout sur l'ampleur du moment plutôt que sur la diversité.

    Comparado con Ryse, aquí el combate tiene mucho más peso y variedad, aunque frente a Ragnarök se nota que la historia es bastante más simple.
