"As far as Remasters go God of War III is a welcome but an unnecessary one. The single addition of the Photo Mode and updated graphics are something I feel just aren't worth paying $40 for a five year old game." ...Read full review

"Some may wonder why it's so high-priced, or why certain aspects of the game weren't as polished as the rest of it. But God of War III Remastered shows that Sony Santa Monica is more than ready for PS4 development, and that means we're in for something cool whenever Kratos decides to cover new territory. In the meantime, give his god-pummeling journey a revisit." ...Read full review

"Five years later, God of War III is still a great beat them all to play. It has not aged a bit in terms of gameplay and its remastering makes it definitely look great to all eyes. Not essential for those who already know the game, but clearly interesting if you've never played it before on PS3." ...Read full review

"That parade of cathartic moments still makes God of War 3 worth playing, especially given the vividness and eye-popping destruction woven into every major battle. It peaks and drags and peaks and drags, sure, but God of War at its high point was never going to be sustainable." ...Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War 3 is the best way to close the trilogy. The history is the best point of the game. Blood too, like when you kill Hermes, Helios, almost every gods we make that. The difference from PS3 version to PS4 is some graphic quality, not too much, effects and the 60 fps. If you don't have a PS3 this is a must-have game for you. Hope you enjoy it. Expand

First, I thought after reading a few reviews that it would be a short game (8 hours or so) but I was wrong. Maybe I'm not the best player for action games but this game lasted 16-17 hours for me. I think there is a lot of content and the pace is really fast, maybe a little to much. There are a lot of fights against different group of ennemies and some are really challenging. I found the battles against bosses really interesting and the animations are wonderful (this is a major strength for this game)

Overall, this game looks really good but we can feel it's a bit old. I still had the impression it was pretty well remastered though. Also, you can expect a lot of violence...I don't want to spoil anything but this game is definitely not for kids (raw violence more than anything else I played before)

I give 8/10 for this game but I understand why some would give a 9 or even a 10 when it was first released in 2010. I think we can compare this game to Darksiders 2 but in term of pacing, I would compare it to the Uncharted series

Before we start this review let me make this clear, God Of War 3 Remastered is NOT a remaster.
It is a port, and to be perfectly honest, a pretty bad one at that.

The plastic textures are not redone, the AI is left precisely as stupid as it used to be and the gameplay has not received a single much needed tweak.

Performance:
God Of War 3 runs at 1080p 60fps... at least that is what we are told. The "60fps" does not dip, so much as it plummets into the 30s and low 40s and remains there for almost the entire game. Jarring screen tear ruins any possible gain of the resolution bump purely from the disjointed picture that is displayed on screen thanks to these horrific tears.

Gameplay:
The gameplay, which I can only assume is supposed to be violent is ruined by the goofy, cartoonish animations and controls, levels are repeated over and over again until you lose any challenge and just rely on the muscle memory as each mission is layed out exactly as it was before.

Story:
There simply is not any story here, Kratos must stop a god and- blah-blah-blah
the exact same story as GOW 1 and 2.
I'll put it like this, there is only so many times you can read a book, there is only so many times you can play a God of War title.

Do yourself a favor, don't buy this game.
