How hard is the hard mode in God of War Ascension?

[JGarret]

I´m gonna start playing the game very soon, and I was thinking about starting on hard mode right out of the gate..so I ask, is the hard mode in line with other God of War games?...I beat God of War 3 on hard, and aside from two parts in that game, I didn´t find it that hard.

Is anyone here playing it on hard?
