I've played a little over all the main ones and I've never gotten into them. I've never been a fan of the button masher beat'em up genre. I didn't care for Dante's Inferno either and all my friends raved about it. I'm a huge old school Castlevania fan but I didn't like Lords of Shadow. I dig hot chicks with long hair but I didn't care for Bayonetta. I did like Asura's Wrath, but I think only because it's so damn crazy and more of an interactive anime than a game.

The only beat'em ups I like are all old school ones like Golden Axe and I think it's only because of nostalgia. God of War just never appealed to me as a game. Part of it could be that I don't like Kratos at all. Not even a little bit. He'd make a great villain but as a hero he is the opposite of what I want to play as.


He is an anti-hero.

Oh I get that. Believe me I know an anti-hero when I see one. The Punisher is an anti-hero I like. Kratos is not. He is completely unlikable in my opinion.

You'll only be able to like Kratos if you care to know about his past. Do you know that Kratos was tricked into killing his own wife and daughter by the God Of War, in which he had put his faith? And then the Gods tried to kilL him innumerous times? And he remained prisoner of his deeds forever? Anyways what matters most is that the the combat is thrilling and exciting as hell, besides being full of blood and gore. Also the epic sense of scale and boos battles is what lures me to the series.
