Is God of War an RPG? If not, what is?

The difference is that you have no control over the development of Kratos. He doesn't become stronger through allocation of attack points. You can't increase his defense. You can't change his ability to withstand magic attacks. He is the same from the beginning of the game as he is to the end. You are simply leveling his moveset and weapons up. This is why it has RPG elements but is not an RPG itself.

Yeah he does. You controrl the growth of all of his skills.

I think it's fair to say, though, that God of War isn't an RPG in the old sense. Neither are most (if not all) JRPGs. Fallout 3 is probably the latest "true" RPG we've got.

 

 And his health/magic go up aswell.  =p Never played an GoW game Onyx?
