God of War 3 was an impressive feat for its day, and it still impresses today in . Its beautiful graphics are prettier than ever, and a higher frame rate adds more fluidity to the action.

Good visual update; Great combat; Impressive scale

Weak story; Fixed camera angles

Kratos has never exactly been a sympathetic character, but the original God of War portrayed him as something of a tragic figure, his torment partly the result of his own bloodlust.

The first hour

The last hour

Set in the realm of Greek mythology, God of War III allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he treads through Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him.

The God of War series has been one of Sony's strongest over the last decade, and it took the brilliant The Last of Us to knock God of War III off our top spot for favourite PS3 game - until then Kratos had towered over even the Helghast, Nathan Drake and Yamauchi.

There's a good reason the God of War series has been among the most acclaimed in modern gaming. It is a perfect combination of classic storytelling and ass-kickin' arcade action, satisfying both the yin and yang in every gamer.

God of War 3 tells the tale of everyone's love to hate; none stop yelling anti hero and demi god, Kratos. The Spartan warrior is out for revenge on the Gods of Mt Olympus after being dealt a rather raw deal by his father, Zeus.

God of War III is now available on PS4 thanks to a port by a two-man team known as Wholesale Algorithms. Is it worth a replay? Chris ascends from hell with the verdict.

Clean HD visuals; Smoother cinematic moments; That warm, familiar massive scale carnage

There's nothing really new; The game has lost some impact with age

Poseidon's near lifeless body lies slumped over some ruins. As Kratos, the God of War, you've already beaten him to a bloody pulp. But before you finish him off by throwing the God of the Sea over a cliff, there's one last humiliation in store: gouging out his eyes.

Depending on who you ask, remasters are either a great way to recapture fond memories of an excellent game or they are the very embodiment of corporate greed. In my case, it depends on the game.

Major graphical improvements; Improved framerate; still monumental amounts of fun

Not enough new content to warrant repurchasing

Grandson loves playing this game Very happy with it
