ONLY WORD "EPIC"
Story: for me was just like reading a great novel. one of the most important thing that makes you continuing playing god of war is the story of it.
Game-play:the best part of the game was game-play.
1)the finishing thing that you done with your enemies and your combats with your swords or powers like riping them apart or stone them or.... make me felt that anger that kratos felt.
2)the using of bottoms in slow motion scenes(like defeating buses or..)were great idea for the game.
3)mixing the action with thinking (like completing the puzzle to get the nickles or take the prisoner up to the point and burn him to get the door open) was awesome and the difficulty of them was just right.
4)when you finishing the game you unlocked some challenges that you can do them to test yourself how good you are (for expert players just for fun of it) and some of them are very hard.
Sound: the music from the game was the ancient music we hear in operas or ancient music in Greece and it was suitable for gameplay.
At the end: maybe god of war is an action adventure game but when you play it you see alot of difference between god of war and other action adventure games that you played them before if you like action adventure games (like prince of persia) or not certainly you should buy god of war.
