It's great, it's really great for real. It improves on the already excellent God of War II in every single way and ties up the original trilogy's story of Kratos and his path of vengeance very nicely. Combat is still exceptional and more varied with the new weapons available here, with the Cestus fists even rivaling the Blades with how much I used them. The levels here feel like the peak of the series as platforming, combat, and puzzle solving work so fabulously in tandem with one another without any bad apples for puzzles in the mix this time. One aspect I really enjoyed was the interconnectivity of the levels and revisiting them with new upgrades, making the areas in this entry feel more connected with each other rather than places to visit once and check off and never come back to again. The game is so drop dead gorgeous even in the original more than ten years later, highlighted especially in the sections climbing up on the titans like Chronos. Nothing else to say really, GOW III was just a fantastic game from start to finish.
