I'd give this game a 10/10 easy..
Presentation: The story, though an old one, shines in the way it is told..it truly makes you want to slaughter the God of War..
Graphics: I'm not the greatest at noticing 'supperior' graphics..however I must say the game looks great and the art style/presentation is very well done. The cinematics are fun to watch and the 'feel' of the game is exciting through and through.
Sound: The single most notable aspect of the game (in mine and many others opinions) is the sounds that create its atmosphere. The music and voice acting were so good that I was compelled to download the soundtrack. I've also immitated the scenes, incorporating the quotes into my daily conversations for laughs. Good stuff.
Gameplay: I've played DMC3 and all the 'new' Prince of Persia games and must say that neither comes close in drawing my attention like God of War did. The puzzles were MUCH better than I thought they would be. The Boss fights are the best I've ever encountered (and the most fun)on a action-adventure game although a bit easy (even on God Mode). The Challenge of the Gods offered more tilt value to the game, though through means of utter frustration in Challenge 8 and 10 (still enjoyable if you're a glutton for punishment). The bonus features are cool all round (especially the video features..that had there work cut out for them). Kratos was a FREAK..the Blades of Chaos were well done, though Artemis could have used some fine tuning (plus the small detail that the nature of the fighting mechanic in easier difficulties seems so incredibly "hack n' slash"). Underwater and in air fighting mechanics plus a few more bosses would have been excellent (I understand however that time ran out and they needed to see some money or risk losing everything). The 'fatalities' are my favorite aspect of this game without a doubt. They throw no punchs and I love that. It makes killing your enemies SO much more satisfying then them slowly fading away or simply bursting into mist.....
~I've played this game more than 24 times..14 on God Mode..this game is well worth the price of purchase in my book..however..if you have a problem with short games you should just rent it..if you think it's too easy..play God Mode *that's were the fun's at!!!*
