God of War.

Spoiler:

Amazing half hour, the hydra scenes and death scenes are awesome. The part where you're roaming around athens is also nice, but once you end up reaching the desert things start to slow down, and game dies slowly in the middle.

Personally I think the whole game is a worthwhile purchase, but that's only if you enjoy hack-and-slash type games. When you're roaming around in the challenge of athens, challenge of poseidon, and challenge of hades, that's when things seem to slow down. Mind you, the challenge of hades is awesome. The boss battle there is amazing, too.

I like how the game managed to pick itself up nearing the end. Fighting and destroying a God with the help of Pandora's Box is a great feeling. What they've done is mix greek mythology, and quite well I might say.

As for replayability, well, I rented this game first, managed to get 3/4 of the way through it in the first attempt, bought it and proceeded to complete it. There's a decent reward at the end, and that's seeing the different efforts they put into the game, the concept designs they've used, the models for cyclops, zombies, and so on. There's even a little after-game.

Replayability only holds up with God mode, which isn't what it sounds like. Basically it's like Dante Must Die in Devil May Cry. Fucking hard, and you're going to die on the first hydra. Personally I'm not really into games which require you to die 15 times just to get past a sequence, but the overall playing of the game was nice.

I'd give this an 8/10.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
