Great action game with fun combat, some good boss fights. Don't attempt to finish the game on the hardest difficulty, as the combat is cheap and unbalanced. Especially towards the end with no checkpoints for a very long time is just dumb.

This game is exactly what it says: Remastered. If you want a new God of War game this is not for you. It is the same God of War III game you played on PlayStation 3, just out on a PlayStation 4. It does have improved graphics and looks fantastic all around. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the God of War series but can't currently play them because they got rid of their PlayStation 3 for a PlayStation 4 like myself. If your new to the God of War series, I recommend taking full advantage of purchasing the game if you have PlayStation Plus. You can play God of War I and God of War II. The downside to that is you need to have a PlayStation Plus account and the longer you wait you might need to sign up for the other PlayStation program. If all you played was God of War Ascension and did not like it, don't let that keep you from this title. It's a great price at $39.99 because you're not paying the $59.99 for a new game. $39.99 let's you play a game all over again with improved graphic or play a game for the first time.

It's one of the most thrilling openings in all of video games. As warrior-turned-deity-killer Kratos, you climb the Titan Gaia, who functions as a colossal, moving level upon which you battle Poseidon, the god of the sea. Gaia herself is one of Kratos' few remaining allies; her cries of pain pierce the air as you swing your chained blades, launching ghoulish soldiers into the air and slicing away at Poseidon and his many-legged steed. It is all sound and fury, almost unparalleled in its sense of scale and its translation of a protagonist's anger into bloody, brutal interactions. When Kratos strikes his final blow, you see it not from his perspective, but from his victim's point of view, in the first person. It's a striking and vicious design choice that sets the tone for the game to follow. You are no longer conquering the Greek gods as an enraged antihero, but as a full-on villain.

Very awesome remaster. Still think they should have included the past two games, but for the price that I purchased it, totally worth it. Great story and action set pieces. If you want replay value though, this does not include much

Let me be clear, I would have given this game a full 5 stars but the fact that they decided to re-release the 3rd chapter of this series and not the first or the whole trilogy is confusing enough to lose a star. Not old enough to be considered a classic but this is definitely one of the greats. This game looked gorgeous on the PS3 and eventhough it doesn't look dated, you can see the difference. Its been long enough since my first play through to warrant a double dip and the fact that they are only charging $40 makes it money well spent. The tight controls, gorgeous graphics and epic story make it hard not to recommend. If you are looking for a kratos fix then this is the only way to go. Hopefully the others get the same treatment or a new game is on the horizon.

If you never played God of War 3 before or been wanting to play it again then God of War 3 remastered is definitely a must buy. Great story and combat. Decent graphical upgrade to a already amazing looking game.

Nice visual upgrades, same fun gory combat as before. Ultimately what won be over with replaying this on the PS4 was the nice price point. Worth the replay if you missed this before, or your just a big GOW fan.

Great game. Game came in good condition when delivered.

I loved that the game was remastered for PS4 since I never owned a PS3 to play it during it's original release. The game is fun and has some nice updated elements over God of War I and II, especially the graphics. However, I found the game play a bit repetitive and dull at times. There was great potential, but it just fell a bit flat in my opinion. The story felt rushed at times and the game, in it's entirety was a little short. Overall, it's a fun game that you should definitely pick up if you are a fan of the series.

I'm a big fan of Sony Playstation's game exclusives, and this being one of my favorite series made it for me, a must own. The graphics were great on PS3, so for me it's tough to say whether or not they have really improved at all. I'm sure they have a tad, but not noticeably. The gameplay and story are it's big sell, and that's what I'm in it for. Worth $40?? Definitely. Worth the overall $17 that I paid (gamers unlocked and using $15 coupons)? What do you think?

I love the God of War franchise. Every game has been epic for me. This one is still the great action and grand scale you expect but honestly other than lighting differences and smoother game play, I mean it hasn't hiccuped once, it's the same game. This shows how well ps4 can handle a ps3 game with no issues, but this also highlights the ps3 was no slouch. The game looks almost identical. If you don't have it buy a game that is brutal and we'll written.

As someone whose main experience with the God of War series was with God of War: Ascension (which was an okay game), I have now truly had the opportunity to see why this series is so beloved. With a great sense of scale and some truly jaw-dropping moments, this remaster still holds up well after the release of the Playstation 3 original. The graphics on the Playstation 4 coupled with the smooth frame rate truly are a sight to behold. It *almost* passes graphically for a native PS4 title, which is a huge testament to the quality of this port. If you are a fan of the franchise, you've probably played the game by now, but if you haven't, you owe it to yourself. If you're new to the franchise, this game makes a great leaping off point. The only difficult thing may be playing older games in the series, from a mechanics and graphics perspective. However, not to worry, as there are strong rumors that God of War 4 will be officially announced in the very near future...

The game still holds phenomenally all around, and visually it's great. The issue is that while other remasters add in new content, this one doesn't and that can be a turn of. You do get all DLC which is great, but I feel other things could have helped. Still worthwhile with the low price point.

It was on sale and I just the love the game! The graphics are cutting edge and the play is fast and crisp! The remastered version is awesome. I ended up playing this four literally hours. The story line is awesome. For GOW fans this is a must have.

God of War III Remastered is a great improvement over the original PS3 release. Given the Full HD treatment as well as an increased frame rate, God of War III shines even brighter as one of the best looking console games to date. For those familiar with other character action games, God of War's action is a bit slower then others, and puzzles can bring down the pace to an unfortunate crawl. However the vast majority of the game is filled with some spectacular set pieces and great action with a variety of weapons and play styles. For first timers to the series or for those looking to revisit the title again, I recommend waiting for the game to go on sale before diving in. $39.99 for one remastered game is a bit much (despite the quality of it), especially when you consider GoW III was part of the God of War Saga Collection release back in 2012, which gave you 5 games in one box and is currently widely available for $19.99 on average.

This is the first God of War game I have ever played. I had an Xbox 360 last generation, so I missed out on Sony exclusive. Very interesting game, fun to play, but a bit too derivative of series like DMC. All in all, a very good remaster, especially for a newcomer like me.

I will only recommend this game to people that somehow missed this game on the ps3 or dont own it for the ps3. This remastered version of the game has great visuals and the combat seems better at 60fps but that is it , there is no other enhancements or features.

First and most importantly, this game is great value for the price ($20 at the time of writing), if you enjoy hack & slash combat of the light and heavy attack combo variety, definitely give this game a look. In between the combat sections, there's light puzzle and platforming elements, the former fares much better than the latter as the movement mechanics were clearly designed for combat, not precise jumping. If you happen to be a mythology nerd like me, you'll enjoy the portrayal of various figures from the Greek pantheon, and eventually brutally murder them. I'm not sure of all the improvements over the original Playstation 3 version, but this one runs as at a mostly solid 60 frames per second and has a fun little photo mode as well.

I have played the other God of wars games for the other PlayStation systems and the remastered edition is amazing. A lot of action, looks very nice with the update in frames and quality. Played the game and don't regret buying it.

It was already a pretty game, so the small graphical upgrade it gets is not that much better than it was on the PS3. However, if you haven't played it, definitely pick it up. The God of War series really defined a genre when first introduced on the PS2-- a fun, action-packed 3d beat-em-up with platforming and very lite RPG elements (upgrading weapons). There are also Quick Time Events that are used for finishers on enemies, and especially on bosses, so if you have difficulties with quick reflections, you may want to stay away. If you've played it before, there's really nothing new here (except the ability to stop and take pictures of gameplay). Still, it's a great game and a fitting conclusion to the series.
