I honestly agree. I had my sceptisism as well going into this game due to the scores. But I think it almost made me like it more than I would've otherwise xD.. I don't know. I guess we won't know now.

The story was really the only issue I had.

Loved your review man. We basically had the same impressions of the game. More or less. Storywise GoW:A is a huge disappointment me. Not a disaster but if you're gonna go back and tell the backstory of your storied hero (well, everyone's favorite anti-hero) you should of really served him up a rollercoaster ride of an emotionally epic story. Anything less is a disservice. Which this story, I have to admit, is.

But gameplay wise (since that's what EVERYONE SCREAMS IS MOST IMPORTANT, God of War: Ascension is lightyears better than God of War 3--not hyperbole).

I agree that the story is not done in a very emotional and elaborate way.  But it is still good. D:
