papflesje said: I've played it and I love it, but to be honest, games like God of War 3 get smashed for being "the same ol', same ol'" when they do try to improve on the basis they are known for. SMG 2 is also basing itself on the previous one and improves here and there (and is an utterly enjoyable game all around), but with SMG 2 it's considered good that it's more of the same with touches here and there. With God of War 3 (and other games), that usually means (or meant) they would be tackled because of "more of the same". That's the only somewhat logical anger I can get with SMG 2 scores (not that it doesn't deserve a high score) |
Galaxy 2's improvements and additions have a deeper impact on the core gameplay mechanics than GoW3's, which were largely presentational.
