You wonder if you just saw a good movie or just played a good game.
The game mechanics are great, the combat is smooth and fluid and the story is just great and the whole sense of the game is just majestic. This game is probably the one that made quick time events so common for all the new games to use this mechanism. I have the "God of War Collection" for the PS3 too, but I figured that I should play the original PS2 version first just to set the record the way it should.
This is a truly epic title, from beginning to end that makes you wonder if you just saw a good movie or just played a good game. If you never playe this game is about time, squeeze it somehow in your gaming time, you probably would be wowed with this gem.
