Then, you are obviously an ignorant one given that it's out for weeks on the Wii Channel, PSN and Xbox live for about 10 bucks a pop.
On topic, Pandora is moe. Love how Santa Monica made her out to be in her early teen since in mythology it was her child like curiosity which doomed mankind. |

Done with the initial run through. Ending is typical of those Greek Tragedy, which is in line with the sources of the game if you ask me.
What got me thinking is the flooded landscape in the wake of the events. For those who knows a bit or two on the subject of mythology, I believe an apocalytical flood is a common theme in myths worldwide. Of course, the best known one will be Noah's Ark from the bible. And then I found something intesting from Wikipedia :- Quote:

Don't know jack about Greek Mythos, only small little tid-bits. Ironically it was playing the God of War series that led me to look up many of those objects, places, and individuals that permeate the game. Unfortunately this is were the game fails, an all to predictable story told from an all too predictable perspective. It failed to grasp the grandeur of the original two, in particular the second installment which was simply superb, and yes even Chains of Olympus was a game I beat in a single day.
Disappointed? Yes, not to a large degree, but only to a slim one. God of War 3 failed to capture what made GoW2 one of the best games on the PS2, I would go so far as to say it is an inferior game compared to it. It was not satisfying, as in all my expectations of it were just a tad bit too high. There are MANY moments in God of War 2 that are ingrained in my head; The cameo boss battles which were MUCH better than the Hercules one. The battle with the Kraken and subsequently walking to the Steeds of Time just floored me, I didn't think something like that was possible on the PS2. Fighting those sisters while the ending of GoW was unfolding in the background. God of War 3 is a good game overshadowed by the one that came before it. |
