Best gameplay in hack and slah series by a log shot really ? hahaha. You obviously haven't played many quality hack and slash games  becaue DMC series old and the new dmc one says hello!. The combat is so simple and lacks  the level of depth and teh variety of moves found in dmc. Because the combat of GOD of war is so simple, the pacing feels slow and sluggish especially in the latest installement. Before you bash for bein an anti Sony , i have the latest instlalemtn and  playing i t,, plu is played every single God of war game from ps2, ps3 and psp versions.  When you mention on hard , you die quick. The reason for that is not because its fair or skillful or the enmies are smarter.  Its just that the enemies are alot stronger , do more dmage and there tonnes of it which sometimes the camera fails to cope with it. What suprises me about all the reviews is that reviewers fails to mention the obvious slow down present in the lates GOW installement. Its obvious that it puzzle me how they can miss it. Theres no slowdown while you fight which i s good but there slowdown when you walk an d there things happening in the back ground and durign cut scenes.

Thirdly the story in GOW has never been good or award winning. In the previous installments is about Kratos being stupid and gullible which leads to him being tricked  which then leads him to rage and then provides him the motivate to kill people hence the god of war games from 1 -3 plus the psp versions. He to me is the dumbest videogma character ever created as its okay to be fooled once or twice but to be fooled all the time , the same exact way based on the same exact promises is hillarious. Makes you wonder who writes this scripts. Fourthy the the game changing deal is that god war doesn't use the greek mythology in any accurate form. Instead they just use their name nad make up the soty around it . Thats a shame as it could be a more interesting game if it followed the greek mythology properly.  In sayign all of this teh graphics are nice and to some extent beautiful but neither of it is WOW " jizz in my pants epic" because the game only  looks epic or wow stunning is when there is titan sized monster and kratos or important cutscenes . Apart from taht m when its aoomed out and you have to explore teh graphics are still good but nothign specials you can see lots of jaggies especially in the lates installments. Thats my opinion  i do respect yours and its good you  enjoy teh game. If  were to review it would be between adam sessler 3/5 review and 7/10 from eurogamer/ Its in between.
