A Warning
I have just bought God of War III and played it a bit.
It is shit.
They have clearly tried to polish it well though, the high dynamic range effect applied to every surface in the game seems to have permanently damaged my eyes.
The camera skips and jumps like they occasionally just add a random number to the rotation matrix. The controls sometimes just stop responding altogether, during some scripted sections certain controls become disabled with no warning, the intro sequence has at least 3 boss fights. Boss fights that consist of mashing the 'hit things' button while keeping your eye on the combo counter because it's the only way to tell if you're standing close enough to the boss to hit it. How they could release such a pile of crap without immediately turning into a pillar of salt is beyond me.
Apparently the two game directors left during its production under mysterious circumstances. I think this may be connected somehow...
