An amazing action title, filled with tons of references to Greek mythology: Superb in every way!!!

God of War main plot speaks about the epic quest for redemption led by a former Spartan captain called Kratos, who's been haunted for ten years by nightmares of what he did in the name of Ares, the Greek God of War.

After saying so, I have to express my opinion about this game. First of all, let's have a look at the good points: an excellent storyline (I just aprreciate stories involving badass warriors trying to redeem themselves) based on Greek mythology, a challenging combat system that will sure put yor gaming skills and your thumbs to the test, an amazing graphic, an over the top soundtrack, loads of bonus contents and finally a good upgrade system that is extremely accessible and easy to use.

Now, let's have a loo at the main negative point: the game itself it's quite complicated due to the fact that some of the challenges can be too hard, since they require a good combination of both fighting and intellectual skills.

Another pain in the back is due to those mini-game kills, since they require good reflexes and timing for not failing and being pawned by larger enemies (I always had problems when dealing with Cyclopes), spoiling a good combo chain in the process.

In the end, I'd probably recommend this game to those who really enjoy tons of blood and violence and to those who loved Greek mythology during their childhood as much as I did!
