So I got my God of War Collection, with no demo voucher inside despite the sticker on the box claiming there should be one.

Anyway, Sony emailed me the code after a few days.. they didn't even ask any questions. Pretty darn good customer service there I think. I played it this morning.. here are some impressions:

1.) The detail on Kratos is unbelievable. Looking at his character model close-up, I have no idea how they can make something that detailed. I thought that his face in the beginning was CGI. Also, there are great other things like blood splatters all over his body that disappear over time, and the guts that pour out of enemies is just awesome. The game looks absolutely beautiful, and Kratos looks extra angry because of the HD. In my opinion, despite it being just a demo, it already beats Uncharted 2's visuals.

2.) There's so much going on during a battle that it's hard to keep track. With the titan in the background fighting Helios, and like 20 grunts battling you with a huge centaur, it gets a bit hectic. I wonder how they fit all of that activity in the game all the while keeping a pretty good framerate. It's not 60fps, but it's pretty solid. There's a bit of slowdown here and there, but I guess it won't go any lower than 30fps.

3.) The action is much more fluid this time and combos chain much better. I just got off finishing God of War 2 and I really felt the difference in the controls. It's still the same game, but the attacks are so much easier to hit and Kratos is just simply easier to move.

4.) The head ripping thing.. I think I'll have nightmares tonight.

Very, very awesome work on the game so far. I just hope that they don't pack too many things going on in the background that the framerate would dip below 30.

what about Heavy Rain? hehe

Great.

Now if SCEE hurry up and release GOW Collection it in EU. I swear, we are last to get the good stuff.

I've played the demo over 20 times... Yeah, it's that awesome!!!

One thing (aside from graphics and blah blah blah) is how the gameplay has an incredible amount of fluidity. It's just SOOO good, and tops the previous God of Wars (and IMO every other hack and slash game) by miles!

Also, the demo is a build from half a year ago... kinda makes oneself wonder how much its improved 0_0

where can i get the code or the demo?
im dying to try it

wait which demo is this, the E3 08 one?

aww i am so jealous lol. and yeah the head ripping chills me out 2.

lol Nice pun. Well i cant wait for GoW3 and HR as they both look amazing =)

Dude, my game didn't have a Demo Voucher either, where is it suppose to be.

Did they forget to put it in or something? I think Gamestop screwed me over with a "new copy"

Oh no,i hope they release the game in 60fps.I dont want to have a bad experience like with the orange box
