Eviscerate, eh? Only Gamesradar hand picks only the freshest adjectives

I never saw what was so special about GoW. It was a pretty hack and slash with really great controls but a LAME ass story and a tired, cliche main character. I'm not saying the game was bad, but imo it wouldn't be that hard to beat.

This game may not be God of War, but if it is as near to the aformentioned game as this article says, i will be very happy indeed. I have been wanting to play GoW for quite a while now, but i just dont have the money to shell out for the PS2 PS3. Yay for bloody violent demon killing.

That should be 'how' not 'who.'

Perhaps GR should feel inclined to wait for a final product before shamelessly stating such a bold comment. Not a good idea. Might hurt your credibility. . . like saying Onechanbara was "good".

How it will eviscerate God of War III, that's a bold statement, Shane Patterson. It looks interesting and the prospect of it being based on an actual literary work, a very good literary work no doubt seems interesting. I'll keep watch of this.

I'm currently in the middle of Dead Space right now and am loving it whole-heartedly. If these guys can do for the epic hack-n-slash what they did for the sci-fi survival horror genre, I am SO there!

oh no... i sense a fanboy war brewing... BUT! Congratulations on making me care, Shane. I really, REALLY gave this game some epic 'meh's before this and now it's a pretty good sized 'hmmm!!!' instead

I don't even like GoW, so I think I'll pass. Too much hack-n-slash for my taste.

I hope it does better than God of War, not because i hate god of war(one of my all-time favorite series), but because it feels good to see a new game do better than an already established series, only to be topple by the next installment. Uness it does better than Halo. Also, there's no good GoW-like game on XBox 360 yet, and this could satisfy my needs. I'm not getting a PS3 anytime soon, not worth it when i have all the good games except for MGS4, LBP, and eventually KH3 and Gow3 on Xbox.
