For $15 it is worth it. If you own a PS3 then get God of War Collection and God of War 3 first. After that this is an okay buy and if you are still long for some more GoW action. After that pic up Heavenly Sword which was also a just O.K. game. If all you own is a 360 then yes pick it up because it is as close to GoW you are going to get on the 360.
You can Platinum trophy this (or 100% Achievements unlocked or whatever) in about 12 hours (at least, I did), and then never have to play it ever again. Not worth buying, in my opinion.
Sorry to bump this so much... Is this worth the $14 it costs shipped at gamefly right now? I guess I missed all the actual feedback once the game came out and only read the negative hype leading up to it.
I got it from Gamefly myself (rental, didn't buy) and I don't know if I'd regret having paid $14 for it.
I really enjoyed it at first, and I thought the combat was alright and everything moved at a fast pace, but it does start to recycle a bunch just as was said above. Then they completely run out of ideas and make you go through an entire level with nothing but random challenges you have to overcome to procede, which while not particularly difficult, feels like a terrible, boring grind.
The story, just like the game itself, starts off pretty interesting but by the end is just meh. I personally enjoyed playing the game, but only did so once before I sent it back as I was just done. Thankfully I went with the Holy spec as it's the less painful one, or my memories of the game might not be so positive as they are. :P
