My heart was racing on the last scene lol Well fucking done. I am REALLY enjoying this game.

And you know ... maybe it's just me, but I find I liked the boss battles a lot. Those old dudes were interesting to fight, and battling those 2 furies at once was kool too. It was only the first boss that was a no brainer, but let's be honest, the first boss is always like that in GOW games. I refer to that because I read a review that came down on the first boss fight because it was 'too predictable'. Oh please. Reviewers just want to bitch about something these days. What do you guys think?

The story could have been executed in a better way. And all that jumping around didn't help either. Pulp Fiction did the jumping around in an interesting way, but that wasn't the case here. It wasn't bad or anything to me, just lacking. I thought they could have done better, but I don't mind so much. Combat is BOSS in this game.

The bosses I enjoyed and I will mention + rate according to the series are as follows xD =>

The final fight - 10/10, one of the best moments in GoW. It might not be my favourite, but it sure was amazing.

The intro fight - 9.5/10, while it is a bit short (kind of) it is a true spectacle.

The twins that guard the Oracle - 9/10, this was a huge surprise for some reason. it was the closest thing to the Hercules fight. I really loved this. Mechanically: It could be the best of all fights in the game.

Fighting the furies together - 8/10, a great moment.

 

(Did I miss anything?)

 

In general though: The snakes part was amazing despite not being a boss: It was breathtaking. The manticore fight at first was also pretty neat, even though its a "mini boss" I suppose. I was in complete awe after the intro when you enter this lush forrest. It felt like revisiting Shambhala from Uncharted 2 hahaha.

You are dead on mate. The fight with the twins was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was going to be a very straightforward short fight, but to my surprise it was extended and I liked how it kept changing up. The one that looks like Tom Riddle before he got a proper body (if you know your Harry Potter), he surprised me a bit. Very interesting fight.

Fighting two furies at once was very nice in my opinion. It kept things interesting. Fighting one at a time might have been too simple. The last battle was well executed. I give SSM huge props for that.

I’m really enjoying this game man. I don’t see myself playing anything else other than it and the PSP – since I didn’t finish them – until The Last of Us comes out. Well … if I don’t buy Bioshock Infinite that is
