everyone that sees a game that tries to build on a genre a ripoff......no such thing. God Of War redefined the genre. Other games gonna try to build on that and some gonna fall short. Then the genre go get boring agian and ppl go want more....
A first class example is the GTA series. They then bring out True Crime, which was so so, but no GTA. Then Ride or Die which is sh!t. Then they start to incorporate free roaming in other genres like NFSU2. But now real man hating GTA, not because it lame, its because peopel fedup of that style. They want something more than just "go and kill this, go an blow up this.....wash rinse and repeat"
If you do want a lil fix before another God Of War comes out go get Rygar for PS2. It nice, short game though, but its fun.
