We capture the footage for our video supplements here in the office, and itвЂ™s not uncommon for a small crowd to gather around the TV and watch as we run through bits of the game du jour. God of War 3 is an unapologetic celebration of violence and brutality and the fact that you donвЂ™t have to wade through much narrative to enjoy the expertise with which the game sheds blood is wonderful. There are many games you play for the intricate characters or absorbing storyline, but this isnвЂ™t one of them.

If that sounds like IвЂ™m insulting the game, understand that I see the cheesy dialog to be a real plus in God of War 3вЂs favor.

The dialog, sounding, as it does, like it came out of a comic book written by a fourth grader with an overly developed sense of the dramatic, can also be talked over, mocked, or completely ignored, depending on your personal preference. The gameвЂ™s relative brainlessness means you can leave the room to make a sandwich and come back without feeling like you need a recap. Kratos is pissed and is taking it out on various members of the Greek pantheon.

It doesnвЂ™t hurt that God of War 3 isnвЂ™t exactly what youвЂ™d call intended to inspire heavy thinking. Watching a God of War 3 session is a lot like watching your favorite sporting event with buddies, right down to the yelling, pointing, and exclamations of вЂњDid you see that?вЂќ There is much satisfaction to be had from slicing and dicing your way through hordes of misshapen footsoldiers, but youвЂ™ll have to take your hands off the Sixaxis to really appreciate the sheer spectacle of KratosвЂ™ bad mood. But when youвЂ™re concentrating on killing everything that moves, you canвЂ™t fully appreciate the entire scene thatвЂ™s unfolding and in this case, that outweighs the enjoyment I would derive from yet again indulging in some God of War button thumping. IвЂ™m quite certain IвЂ™d have fun behind the controller, because God of War 3вЂs not really all that different from the first two and I enjoyed those well enough. You get the feeling that its designers went into every level with the sole goal of making your jaw drop, and by and large, they seem to have succeeded. IвЂ™m not sure if itвЂ™s just the ballsier hardware or the fact that this is the final installment in the series, but God of War 3 also seems to be even more audacious, more over the top than its predecessors. As Jordan mentions in his review, it has an amazing sense of scale, making the mighty Kratos into something tiny and buglike as he wages war against the gods.

The series has always been spectacular eye candy, but its leap to the PS3 has taken its visual impact to a whole new level and the set pieces the franchise is known for have, quite literally, grown in scope. IвЂ™ve come to the conclusion that God of War 3 is a game IвЂ™ll enjoy far more if I watch it from the bleachers. Playing a good shooter is always fun, but watching my infinitely more-skilled husband pull off moves I could never dream of achieving is entertainment worthy of its own bowl of popcorn. Sometimes a gameвЂ™s hands-off enjoyment value has less to do with the content and more with the gameplay. Dead Space, Condemned and Silent Hill are all far scarier when you take on the role of observer with no direct control over your fate.

Hand someone the controller for a playthrough of Uncharted 2, and you can sit back to enjoy the best tomb-raiding movie since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. There are some games that are just as much fun, if not more, to sit and watch instead of actually playing. God of War 3 is wise enough to not fix what ainвЂ™t broke, and even goes one better by giving it the benefit of the PS3вЂ™s powerful hardware. The sequel was second verse, same as the first, with huge, sprawling set piece fights that made you giggle with chainblade-slinging glee. Its gameplay never really rose much above button mashing, but it was visually glorious despite its home on the (by then) underpowered PS2, and its protagonist, Kratos, was fascinating. I remember being blown away by God of War.
