Best review I've read of this game, or perhaps just the one that best mirrors my own opinion.

Mirrors the opinion I've heard of several other people whose taste I've come to trust. They really messed this one up good, didn't they?

Well, it's not as bad as ALL that. I mean, it's still not a bad game. It's just that compared to what they set you up for in the beginning, it's massively disappointing.

I've actually reviewed the game before (over on the XBOX) and gave it a much higher score and praising review. I now look at that with a bit of confussion after a recent replay because the second half of the game is depressing. I still say that people should at least try the game; it's worth playing for the first half alone and the second half may not be as abbressive to everyone.

It is not that bad, it is worse then bad.It is awful. How they managed to screw up such a good, promising thriller story is beyond me.

I tried the game based on a review from here. Lasthero, I think. I didn't like it, ended up getting rid of it.

Finally read this one. Though I will tell you here that this really was a good review; I liked it a lot and pretty much agree with everything Janus said about it. Just one minor discrepency, though...

God of War didn't make the sex interactive. Please your naked girl! Use the analouge stick to replicate your trusting! She'll be written out of the game in half an hour -- go on, ruin her!

I remember the interactive sex. I got to play it in a ROM version of that mini game.

Lordy. I feel redder than that sunburnt penguin I saw at the zoo a few years ago. Though how much this is from what you said or what I said I have no idea. XD

You can nail two distinct girls. One only works if you take the time to woo her; it's more a reconnection of a dying relationship than the chance to lever off a bra. The second whips her top off faster than Boo vaccuums fries and rubs her nipples right in the camera, ignoring the fact that it's completly out of character for both the people taking part.

Ah. I was confused as to what OD was talking about. In that case, OD: There's only one sex thing in God of War - it's a "mini-game" (QTE, really), where you watch a vase shake and eventually shatter at the end of it. You get a lot of XP orbs for it. That's the only sex thing in that game ever, minus the boobs everywhere, but that's not really sex as much as it is nudity.

Ah, I see. With the way both games were being talked about, I got confused.

I like in Fable II that even though the screen goes black, you at least hear giggles and other sounds of enjoyment as a reward for sleeping with someone. It even lets you choose whether or not to wear a condom. I played as a female character and my options were mostly limited to lesbian romps. Even though I was playing as a female, I wasn't anxious to hear men appreciating the sex.

It does sound suspiciously like my own experiences with it. Thankfully it's optional.

I was always highly annoyed at the "sleep with me for 120" option in Fallout 3. It was a bit... literal, for my tastes.
