God of War 3 opens with a brief recap of the major plot points of the series, dealing with the ascension to godhood of Kratos as well as his eventual betrayal by the hands of Zeus, and this might be just enough to get someone through the door who hasn’t played the original games. What is strange about the game is that it is the final chapter in a long running series, which has its hands full trying to tie up a lot of loose ends left over from the first and second game, not to include the side stories from the PSP games Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta. So how does this five year old game stack up compared to current generation releases? The combat is tight as ever, and the game still has its brutal, bone crushing violence.
It’s the same old God of War 3, just with a shiny new paint job that runs at 1080p resolution, and can hit about 60 frames per second. Now, in 2015, with the release of the PlayStation 4 we have been treated to a remastered edition of God of War 3.
The game’s only major criticism was with its story, which essentially boils down to a basic revenge plot. Upon its initial release five years ago it was met with commercial and critical acclaim, being one of the best looking games of last generation, with an upgraded combat system from its predecessor, epic soundtrack and cinematic style. God of War 3 was originally released in 2010, by Santa Monica Studios, for the PlayStation 3.
