They work well here when you're going up against one big enemy as opposed to several little ones. They were, in the portable God of War: Chains of Olympus, one of the best additions - I considered them the only truly good alternate weapon in the series. I am pleased that they brought back the giant boxing gloves as an alternate weapon for Kratos in situations where raw power, not the wide swath of the chain-blades, is preferable. Watch as a Titan climbs up Mount Olympus! Rip off the head of Helios, the sun god! Murder random passersby for no reason! Everything you love about being a murderous ex-god is back, and it all feels great - that is to say, again, not especially different from the previous versions. The 30-minute demo was a string of major action sequences from the game's first act, a greatest-hits compilation of the highest-octane adventure sequences.
God of War III was one of the most immediately arresting games on the E3 show floor. The word "visceral" is overused to describe action videogames here finally is one that literally stars viscera.ĭoes this "get in the way of gameplay," as Clive Thompson has suggested? Not in my experience.
Not to mention one particular scene in the demo wherein Kratos digs his chain-blades into the stomach of a chimera, performing whatever seppuku is called when you do it to someone else, the camera zooming in for a tight shot of the unfortunate beast's copious intestines spilling goopily, garishly out into the wide world.
