God of War....

...is excellent.

Play it.

Seriously.

I have. Except for the pixelated breasts (something I find every day on 4chan), I was not impressed.

Really ? There are many things I like about it so far:

-The case sensitive actions, both in combat and in level design
-The intuitive little puzzles
-The fixed camera viewpoint that actually works, letting you focus on playing the game instead of toying around with the camera
-Terrific pacing, not endless fights, not overly long puzzles or jumping sections, so far it's just right
-Okay, the violence, I really needed some release last night

Things I'd hold against it for now:

-The breasts, they didn't look realistic, you'd figure they'd spent more time on those
-The amount of different enemies I've encountered so far seems pretty limited.

Still, it's one of the better (non strategy) games i've played recently.

Yes. My second favorite ps2 title. Next gen consoles, shame on you.

God of War? I didn't like it either. It felt like another hack-and-slash game.

Even Spartan: Total Warrior was more enjoyable for me.

Have you played it to the first boss ?

The beginning was a little disappointing to me since it resembled Prince of Persia: Warrior Within so much (not sure which one came first).

Of course, it's really a genre game, so if you don't like action adventure games this game probably isn't for you. I personally love the genre.

It appeared indeed to be hack 'n slash. And when it looks like hack 'n slash, it must be hack 'n slash or a very crafty disguise.

Hack 'n slash makes me think of things like Diablo, mindlessly pushing the same button again and again. God of War is not like that at all.
