Hehe come oooon! That's god of war we are talking about! It's good, but kickass story... not really. I loved how the difficulty setting adjusted itself in the frist one! Hopefully they'll keep that.
But I can argue that GoW 3 has a MUCH better design, gameplay and fun factor than yet another stupid fighter (are we really not completely done with this genre yet?) or a lame ass round based combat JRPG :p God of War 1 and 2 looked fucking amazing, given they were both PS2 games, but it was the kick ass story and gameplay…
