Gourd of Ward Tres: Olympian Rhapsody

Olympian Rhapsody

Last of the franchise? or is that just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide. Another escape from poor Hades.
 Pick up your claws, look up-to the gods and see...
 I'm just a poor Spartan, I need no amnesty.
 Because it's easy kill, easy spree.
 Beat them up, QTE.
Anyway the series goes, doesn't really matter to me, to me.

 God of war 3 developed  by Sony Santa Monica, follows the story of revenge-driven Spartan Kratos carrying off from the end of the second game during the titans attempt at defeating the gods perched atop Olympus, it is your job as the crazy mythological monster lawnmower, to protect Gaia from Hades goons and later Posiedon as she scales the mountain at a snails pace.


 The game-play in GOW3 comes in three forms: 

1. The mook mashing - You come around dozens and dozens of weaklings for you to pound into dust with radical over the top combos, thus giving you the official status of bad ass.

2. Boss battles - What is that I see in the background? A tentacle? *whoosh* Suddenly you're fighting a Kraken aboard a ship for superiority, next second you've impaled it on the mast, god damn.

3. Puzzles - Now this isn't the most prominent part of the game, but it does make a good break for between all the mindless goon grinding action and the epicly brutal boss battles.

  God of War 3 did and still has astonishing visuals, that show of fantastic environments of an enormous scale. Much like the previous games it doesn't let up on the blood and gore, showing decapitation and dismemberment all throughout the game.

The sound is spot on, you come in a scrub you exit a GOD-DAMN CHAMPION!!! It makes for exceptionally brilliant boss fights as the orchestra wails in the back ground as you take a beating, just before grabbing their appendage and jamming it right into their heart!

 Is it fun?
     Damn right it is, as-long as you mind continuously fighting the goons along the way, you're in for a good time. If GOW3 was a burger goons would be the buns, puzzles would be the dressing and the boss battles would be the meaty core of the burger. A burger covered in lots of bloody ketchup and mature mustard.

Should you get it?
     If you've got a PS3, then yes! Get it (must be over 18+) as it is a good edition to any library of games you have for the PS3. It only costs about £10-£15 for about 8-10 hours of game-play, a deal in my eyes. I wouldn't however buy a PS3 just to play this game, it's not that good.
