With all the hype surrounding this game I decided not too long ago to go ahead and buy the God of War collection to test this highly praised series out. What a waste of money it was.
I honestly don't understand all the love for this series. Sure its fun, its cool, its got tons of action, but.....really? Its an extended button masher. I spent the entirety of the first two games smashing square square square throw in a triangle, hit circle when its above the guys head, rinse, repeat. For the entirety of the game. It didn't even introduce new enemies as the game went on. It just made slight variations of the same ones.
In the first one, when Kratos gets Pandora's box but then becomes speared by Ares, I was ready for the game to end. But no, instead we get sent into hell and have to fight our way out. You would think they would make some cool monsters to fight in hell, but no. Its the same enemies you faced throughout the game, but they're on fire. Not only that, but the story was boring.
I just don't understand the love for a glorified button-masher with a piss-poor story. :|
