First of all everyones hyping this game as the second coming of Christ. Seriously, I dont see whats so good about the game. God of War series has always been fun but SERIOUSLY. Its about as likely as Ninja Gaiden 3 getting AAAA or GOTY. And aside from a sloppy camera, Ninja Gaiden = God of War. When you boil it down, the story isnt that great. Its a story of aggression and vengeance. Oh look lol, where can I find that, Ninja Gaiden.

Also, I remember hearing that the game was supposed to be artwork in motion or something like that. Seriously, its not looking that great. Idk what YOU GUYS are seeing, maybe my eyes are broken lol.

The gameplay looks the SAME as the first 2, QTE's, its pretty brutal, (like Ninja Gaiden lol) now aside from the fact that you can like use your enemies as a battering ram. (Which isnt that amazing lol) and the way you can use some of the larger enemies as like, mounts (Oh Hi thar Dantes Inferno) im not really seeing or hearing ANYTHING that would indicate that this game is going to be GOT or AAAA. I mean Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 got AAAA. Now those games either brought something new to the table (GTA) or were immersive and had a history of greatness, and MGSness in general. You know what I mean MGS lovers >_>. But No way a hack and slash is getting AAAA. Especially one as mindless as God of War lol. (Dont try to tell me that it takes skill because its a platformer too!) Mario was a platformer. Not that hard, both Uncharted games had platforming, not very difficult or intelligent. Now, if they do some Half Life crap with puzzles or something then ill be impressed. But seriously... Anyone else not seeing what cows are seeing?

I love GoW but I don't think GoW 3 will be 2010 GOTY either, hell it might not even be hack and slash of the year.

hey! lol Dont bring Mass Effect into this, its an AAAA confirmed. But yeah, I think God of War 3 is gonna get AAA. Looks fun. Just seriously, GOTY or AAAA? Not happening. Not alongside, FF13, Alan Wake, ME2, White Knight whatever, Heavy Rain, Spec Ops, Halo Reach, Resistance 3(possibly) etc. 2010 is gonna be ridonculous. Oh yeah, bad company 2 is gonna rip MW2's liver out and eat it raw. Its EVERYTHING MW2 has with a likely funner/longer/better campaign, with full scale destructible environments, BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS amirite or amirite? And the sound quality. Yummy. And with its M rating =D it will be better than before. Also it has 24 player multiplayer on consoles. Yaaaay.

What has this got to do with Mass Effect 2? I know ME2 will be better for many people; the world is much better, more attatched to characters and the storyline and the gameplay is being improved. Quite frankly it has more of a chance of AAAA than GOW3, although none will.

No-one's saying it will get AAAA. The current build looks significantly better than the 6+ month old E3 demo too.

When the gameplay feels good and the story is entertaining along with the universe, then it can be very likeable.

Chill out all just dogging TC because he's been hyping ME2, which btw has only an AA entry title ie. less likely to be AAAA than GOW3.

What exactly makes you think God of War is similar to Ninja Gaiden? the two games may be in the same genre but they are leagues apart... Ninja Gaiden has more in-depth gameplay... god of war on the other hand is better in the other aspects (puzzles, platforming, story etc...) with that being said... I agree....I don't think that this final installment to a AAA franchise will score a AAAA but I strongly believe it will be in the AAA league. however, I thought the same thing about MGS4...and look how that turned out >.> but I doubt GameSpot will fork another 10 for a ps3 game.... fanboys will run rampant all over the place with mixed emotions.

God of War III is a 9.5 confirmed on GameSpot, and a top contender for GOTY. It probably won't win GOTY, simply because it's released early in the year, though.

Ahh and so begins the envy of the 360 fanboys.... hey stop your crying and whining just because you have nothing like GOD of WAR on your RROD machine. By the way if you think the Ninja Gaiden and GOD of WAR series are similar in any way, you've either only played one of the series or none. GOD of WAR 3 will win G.O.T.Y. imo, but it still remains to be seen, regardless of that victory it will be a phenomenally huge hit for the PS3 and at the very least sell even more PS3 consoles. So either way Sony fans win.

Why is everyone questioning this comment? Let's break it down:

"(God of War 3 is) AAAE confirmed," That's pretty much a given. MAYBE it'll be AAAAE, but it's pertty much guaranteed to be at least AAAE.

"too bad I can't say the same for Mass Effect 2." That's also a given. Sure, ME2 may get AAA, but it's not exclusive, thus making the above statement completely factual. There will be no way for ME2 to be AAAE. Unless either the 360 or PC version gets canned.

Colin1192
I think the Halo series is past it's prime and no longer the top dog. I've been playing Halo3 on a borrowed 360 while I wait to get my ylod ps3 fixed and after playing single player for a few hours, I just don't get why ppl fawn so much over this series and this game. The game has some really fugly graphics with tons of jaggies, low poly characters, low res textures, poor lighting, and a generic artstyle. The gameplay lacks intensity so far from what I've played. There's no sprint ability (you are telling me a super soldier spartan moves like molasses and can't sprint???) and if you are want to switch weapons while dual wielding you have to drop one of those guns (why?). The story isn't very interesting and the voice acting is terrible for the most part. I just can't shake the feeling that it's just another shooter that has been done better and just as well by other games in the genre. I can't say much about the multiplayer bc I don't and will not get xbl and wifi for a system I am borrowing just for a few months. This year ODST came out and received good but not great reviews (83 meta) and was completely overshadowed by MW2. I think Halo's hold over gamers is starting to wear off a little. Once upon a time, the Halo series represented the best shooter on consoles but as the genre continues to become saturated, the relative quality of Halo in the eyes of gamers drops

I've seen hype, but hyping it as the second coming is stretching it. GoW3's hype has been tame in comparison to Uncharted 2's.
