When i first bought this game i thought it was going to be a breeze and ill just fly through the game since it was simply a hack and slash. I started on the normal difficulty. I never played God of War in my life but by watching gameplay videos it looked pretty easy to control. I was wrong though. This is a game that will take time to master. Especially rolling and blocking. I remember it took me 10 trys to get passed this 1 part. It was was a little frustrating. However for some reason i did not want to stop playing. I guess it was the story or gameplay that kept me going. I really enjoyed the story. It was an excellent take on greek mythology. The puzzles were also a great challenge. I even went through walkthroughs online because i didnt know what to do. The last time I used a walkthrough was like 3 years ago on a pokemon game. This game made me realize something. Games have gotten significantly easier (besides Demon Souls). I never had to use a walkthrough on uncharted, halo, call of duty, etc. this generation. This game was really refreshing and rewarding in the end. I highly recommend to people who have never played god of war before to start on the easy difficulty because it takes time to master the controls. Overall this game is a 10/10 for me. I can't wait to start playing god of war 2!!!

Then you'll get God of War 3 right!?

Definately!!!! Especially since it is coming out a day before my B-day

i just picked up the god of war remake also for the ps3 the game is awesome.
iam stuck on the level road to athens where u get closed in and u step
on the floor and the gate comes down what a pain in the butt

Haha, funny all these people are playing GoW series for the first time. Me too! I just started GoW I. I never thought i would enjoy these games, and only tried the series bc a friend of mine had it sitting around his house; I like a wide variety of games but not hack and slash and not rpg. But wow I am enjoying the heck out of GoW I so far. I guess I'm probably at least 2/3 of the way through. Excellent game! There is only one thing I am frustrated with though...I don't mind the brutality with the blood and all that jazz with the enemies, but (small SPOILER i guess) when u have to murder that human soldier in ur hunt for pandora's box, that was awful. It actually angered me bc it was so brutal, and made me want to stop playing the game. I'm sure I'm the minority in this situation, and I know it's just a game, but it was still unnecessary imo. I think they could have and should have found a way around that scenario. Anyone else feel the same way at all? Or am I truly the only one?

Oh, and going along with that, I don't understand one thing about Kratos...they make him out to have all this regret for his past where he murdered a bunch of innocent ppl or something, yet he seems no different now. Not just in the case where he flamebroiled the soldier in the situation I talked about above, but other times throughout the story. He simply seems to have no regard or care for human life, yet the regret he's made out to have made me expect differently from him. Am i missing something? Just seems contradictory...

Yeah, this is the hardest game I have played in a long time, it really surprised me how hard they made some of the puzzles. I've gotten stuck multiple times, but never allowed myself to look up the solution:) Really makes u think, I like it. Btw, the part ur stuck at...is it the room where the button u step on opens the door but the door closes once u step off the button? And with the respawning minotaur?

God of War IS bloody excellent. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I know I did too!

There are only two people he ever actually ever regreted killing.  I will not say who they are because it would spoil the story.

I beated God of War and got half way through GoWII.

Glad you enjoyed god of war! Hopefully you enjoy god of war 2. Also I can't wait for God of war 3!!

God of war 2 is way better in my opinion
