I see. I'll load a game and try some jumps with a zoomed in camera and check if it looks weird. :P

it did look a lil weird 

while the other animations of GoW3 are superb, the jump is a exception.

You're the only one that thinks it's somehow related to sales...

i agree TC, his Double jump looks terrible...other then that. His double jump as an action in the game is the worst thing ever!

i rip on how kratos cant jump all the time! and the fact that using a jump to dodge doesnt work...like WTF

Experts on Japanese culture state other reasons, but whatever.

One of the several reasons I have trouble treating God of War seriously.

yea it looks ridiculous from a physics point of view, i like to justify it by pretending he is farting really hard or something, his name IS kratos (meaning power in greek i believe) after all..

Doesn't super mario galaxy 2 have triple jumps? And anyway double jumping is fine. 

You know, I didn't even notice it.

It's a little out of place, yes, but it doesn't ruin the atmosphere or anything.
