Event
God of War III Preview
By Mike Jackson - March 10th, 2010
Sony was kind enough to extend us an invitation to their God of War III preview event; especially nice of them considering they only hold a couple events a year. GoW has been a hugely successful franchise for Sony and they are confident that the third installment is one of the most anticipated games of 2010. The event was held at a local venue – not far from Toronto’s downtown core – to let the media get their hands on the game a week or so before launch, further propagating the buzz that surrounds this title.
Not having played the other PS3 and PS2 GoW titles (yes blasphemous, I know), my only experience with GoW has been on my PSP; I wasn’t sure what to expect. The game is consistent with what I have seen of the franchise, offering the same level of ultra graphic finishing sequences. Actually, I would say that it even turns it up a notch. I only had enough hands-on time to get through the first level, which played out on the massive stone back of Gaia.
My understanding is that all of the weapons from the previous to titles are available from the beginning in this current iteration, with a few more added as the game progresses. If you are a fan of any of the GoW titles, this one you don’t want to miss.
God of War III will be available in North America on March 16.
