I honestly do not agree with you on this Mr. Yung. God of war has never been about button mashing. The combat system IS the reason that these games always are near the top of the "game of the year list." It is a delicate balance between combos, dodges and blocks that must be mastered; especially when playing on the hardest difficulty setting. I've already finished God of War 3 on Titan mode, and that was difficult enough. But now that I unlocked Choas mode, if I even THINK about button mashing, I might as well let kratos' enemies kill him right away because button mashing is a surfire way to getting eviscerated. For example, on Chaos mode early in the game, Kratos has to fight his way through the realm of Hades (again) and he is eventually confronted by two giant cerberuses. It took me a full WEEK of strategizing and restrategizing to figure out how I could beat these mongrols. Eventually, I decided to only counterattack using the golden fleece for fireballs and certain up close attacks and rolling away from most other attacks and immediately counterattack by using grapple pull when the dogs are vulnerable for a split second. And even with that strategy in place, I STILL had difficulty! I am a God of War expert. I have beaten all three games, the first two on the hardest difficulty setting and have played through each many times over. And I still have to watch how I attack, when I block, when I dodge, when I use magic and when I run like hell. I don't know if you've actually played through these games or if you have on God, Titan, or Choas mode settings for GOW 1 2 and 3, respectively, but you wouldn't get very far button mashing that's for sure. And are you forgetting about the great voice acting and riviting storyline,not to mention, Kratos getting his freak on once or twice each GOW incarnation? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I still don't think you're is well thought out.

GOD OF WAR!!!!!! PS3! PS3! PS3! GET ONE! IF YOU DON"T LIKE THIS GAME THEN DON'T EVEN BOTHER PLAYING VIDEO GAMES!!!

Adam said GoW3 is GotY? You're a sad sad soul. Stick with your average Tekken "Yoshimitsu".

Sounds like your the biased one. Everyone says this game is good. The last 2 games where amazing. And everything I've seen about this game(including the first 10 minutes of gameplay) pretty much backs up everything he said. Maybe you should stop being loyal to one console and look at a game for its content not its platform.
