I played through the PS3 HD Collection version of the game. I enjoyed the actual gameplay a lot more than I thought I would. I've been wanting to check out the God of War franchise for a while, and for the most part, the first game still holds up. The platforming in the path to hades level drove me insane though it was harder for me than the final boss battle. I also really liked the treasures included (viewing these was not counted as part of my time completing the game) and it was nice to see a more interactive version of the development process like an area with rejected monsters and models.
