Review: God of War III (PS3)

+'s
-it's another GOW
-probably the best production of any game I have played (cinematics are basically done in-game)
-graphics, sound, art style, are all fantastic-arguable the best this gen (pretty easy argument)
-controls are modified, but for the better (and it still feels like GOW)
-story is very good
- best use of items in the series yet
-incredibly violent actions, but also incredibly satisfying if you are familiar with the story

-'s
-the last in the trilogy
-some of the platforming mechanics and hit detection (especially on certain boss fights) could be polished more

Neutral
-This game won't change your mind about GOW. It's just bigger, better, more improved.

Overall, I don't know how action/adventures, specifically violent action adventures, can top this game. The production value is ridiculous, controls are mostly very responsive and tight, and there are tons of awesome moments. Currently I'm on my third playthrough (now on Titan mode) and there are other games to play. I just don't want to play anything else.
