1 and 2 were both released before I even gave GoW a go, but once I put that disc into my Ps3 I was glued to it for a few days it just felt refreshing to play and gave me a break from all the FPS games I was playing at the time. I been playing alot of Modern Warfare 2 this past month or so and I was tempted to get Dante's Inferno instead but resisted because I tryed the demo and the control scheme was to much like GoW so I rented the anime instead.

To be honest, I've never been a fan of the GoW series. I'm willing to give this fella a go, but I gave a gentleman's try to one of the first two a while back and then again when I purchased a PSP during promotion and got Chains of Olympus free, but after an hour or so I'd just get bored and trade them in.
I know my brother and friends will probably be grabbing it on the first day of release, so we'll see if this changes my attitude toward GoW!
To be honest Evan_F if you were not a fan of the first two then I'm really not sure if you will be into the 3rd one. It offers better graphics, Bigger areas, more monsters on the screen at once , a few more weapons and combo animations, more epic boss boss battles??(won't know until its released) and continue's the story where the 2nd one left off alot of what was put into God of War 3 were ideas they had for the first 2 but the Ps2 just did not have the power to pull it off the way the developers wanted.
Like I mentioned above I never played GoW until they both were already released and I played them on my PS3 at that so I already had played many games with better graphics, although for a Ps2 game it did look really good, it wasnt what sucked me into GoW though it was the package as a whole that worked for me ,the presentation, the story, the sound , the graphics, the story and ummm the story.
Little has changed in the gameplay department, any fan of the series will be able to pick up the controller and feel at home again in the gameplay department from my experience with the demo, so if that type of combat just wasn't for you in the first 2 chances are it's still not going to be. Then again in my opinion the gameplay was just about perfect in the first 2 so there wasnt much left to polish up.
I seen a post that has a screenshot of a leaked review from Ign and it's showing a 10/10 "masterful" score, this could be fake but a few weeks before Modern Warfare 2 there was a leaked Ign review of that and it was bang on so who knows.
