I'll leave the dirt out first. The ending is bad (from after the fight inside Gaia), I've always known that but I hadn't noticed how bad the character writing is. The plot really took a hit from losing David Jaffe (the series creator), and it's such a shame we'll never see the ending he wanted. On the other hand it was a hell of a ride. I casually picked this up and didn't think I'd have so much fun with it. I finally went in depth with the fast weapon switching mechanics, never thought the claws of hades were so good for extending combos. The final fight with Zeus is not as hard as I remember but still a very fun one
