OMGOOOGLE THIS IS AWESOME LOOKING! It reminds me of GOW3 graphics with GOW2 style levels and gameplay X10. The only things that bothered me which were minor was that there were no bars and no hit counter was present. The guy was probably playing on normal so he wasn't really being challenged. The Last fatality was just awesome! I didn't know how Sony Santa Monica could take more story out of Greek Mythology, but god it goes to show that people definitely need to read up more.

Hmmmm....I was actually kind of unimpressed. The scale is there, but GoW 3 set the bar so high. The boss fights just looked kind of monotonous and long.

I suggest playing on hard and unlocking harder difficulties if you get the game. That guy was no playing on hard at all.

No doubt. I still have high hopes for the game. It just seemed the boss fights included limited dodging and were kind of just focused on repeating the same pattern over and over again. The bug enemies also looked like a questionable inclusion.....

Gamers on IGN tend not to be the greatest I've ever seen nor the reviewers when you watch review gameplay of fighting or hack n slash titles. He used zero arial launchers, parries, and only rolled. The bug enemies could be a bitch after the hard difficulty, because if you dont reach them they could attach themselves to a host as you saw with the prisoners. In GOW 3 when you raise the difficulty the attack damage of even the huge bosses increases and they throw attacks more often instead of taking a breather. All the other guys just swarm and get ten times harder. LOL Just my experience, but I see your point. If it was me, I would've eliminated the bugs with the a arial jump and attack combo.

Very true....its almost embarrasing to watch most of the time....one more reason why I tend to ignore reviewers. I should prbably give the game a shot. I have access to the beta, but I just haven't felt like playing yet.
