I mentioned in my earlier post that the God of War Collection comes with the E3 demo of God of War III, in all of its fantasticness. I tried it out this morning.
Having played a bit of the first God of War recently, I can make an informed statement that God of War III looks at least 78.8475% better than its predecessors. Every little thing, from the massive scope of the game (which was in the first two, really) down to the most minute detail (especially the detailed gore) is impressive. The gameplay itself hasn’t changed much, which is just fine. There is more involvement with controlling NPCs, and in one part you control a troll, and it’s totally awesome. I’ve never played God of War II, so maybe that’s something they implemented in that one. Either way, it was fun.
Fans of the series aren’t going to find anything life-changing in this demo, but it will convince anyone that has never played one of these games that they need to get into them. It’s a pretty dumb move that this game only comes with the God of War Collection, because a wider audience needs to have exposure to it.

Oh believe me they’ll dribble out that GoW3 demo in a bunch of different forms. District 9 blu-ray, limited offers for being Facebook fans, etc. etc.
I just want the full game ASAP.
