Professional reviews from gaming critics
God of War is a phenomenal game. The fact that, after more than 40 hours of play, we still want more and we're looking forward to restarting the adventure on a new difficulty (we're already playing on hard), should tell you of how much we appreciated this adventure. It's a tremendous game that rewards exploration, and that includes one of the most satisfying combat we've come across in a long time. If you're a fan of God of War, you owe it to yourself to try out this new approach, and if you're not, it's quite possible this game will change that.
