More insight on the game:
God of War III features gameplay similar to that of previous installments. The player controls Kratos in a combination of combat, platforming, and puzzle game elements. Kratos's main weapons are the Blades of Exile, but for a short while at the beginning of the game, Kratos wields the Blades of Athena. Other new weapons include the Claws of Hades, the Nemesis Whip (made from the Omphalos Stone by Hephaestus), and the Nemean Cestus (a pair of fist gauntlets shaped like lion heads acquired from Hercules). This new weapon has the ability to smash through solid objects such as rocks and to plow through enemy shields, but has a slightly smaller range than the extending chains on the Blades of Exile. The Claws of Hades and Nemesis Whip are similar to the Blades of Exile, both being used in the same fashion as the Blades of Exile, but with their own combos and magic abilities.
Unlike the previous games in the series, the use of magic is limited to the weapon that is equipped. For example, the Army of Sparta is only available to use when Kratos is equipped with the Blades of Exile. The Golden Fleece, Icarus Wings, and Poseidon's Trident are kept from Kratos' adventure in God of War II. Kratos also gains Hades' Soul which allows him to swim through the River Styx safely. The Blade of Olympus, rather than being used as a regular weapon like the Blades of Exile, is used with the ability "The Rage of Sparta." The Rage of Sparta replaces Rage of the Titans from God of War II and Rage of the Gods from God of War. When The Rage of Sparta is activated, the screen has a red glow around it and Kratos wields the Blade of Olympus becoming momentarily invincible. The Blade of Olympus is also sometimes used in the ending battle sequence when Kratos is about to kill a god or titan. A new feature to God of War III is the use of items. These items act similarly to magic from the previous installments, but when they are used, the item bar is depleted (as opposed to the magic bar). Furthermore, although the use of items is limited by the length of the item bar, the bar refills automatically, which is in heavy contrast to the previous games. Items that Kratos uses in God of War III include the Bow of Apollo, the Head of Helios, and the Boots of Hermes.
Combos from previous titles also make a return as well as new combos. The number of enemies onscreen has been increased to 50 as opposed to the maximum of 15 in previous God of War installments. Also making a return from the previous games are the Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers which are used to increase the length of the health and magic bar respectively. In addition, Minotaur Horns have been added to increase the length of the items bar. As opposed to the previous games where six of these items were needed to be found (five in Chains of Olympus), only three of each are needed to be found. These items are also placed in a different styled chest, as opposed to the previous games where these items were placed in similar chest to all other chests, except without having a glowing color. During the leviathan fight, the camera pans out away from the fight sequence, however, the player can still control Kratos while the camera is panning out adding a new level of gameplay to the fight sequences. This fight can be seen at the end of the "Vengeance" trailer.
Game director Stig Asmussen claimed that the hardware capabilities of the PlayStation 3 allow more flexibility in creating the characters of God of War III and allow for further interaction with the environment. Christer Ericson of SCE Santa Monica Studio announced on his Twitter page that God of War III has seamless loading. Meaning there are No Loading screens and No HDD installation requirement. The game features 36 Trophies, which upon obtaining the platinum trophy, players are linked to the website, spartansstandtall.com.
Like the previous installments, the game features a challenge mode called the "Challenge of Olympus", with seven challenges. There is also a bonus challenge mode that was included in both the Ultimate and Ultimate Trilogy Editions of the game called the "Challenge of Exile", with seven more challenges. In addition to the challenge mode, a new mode has been added called the "Combat Arena". Here, players have the options to set up their own battles with several different enemies. Stig Asmussen has said that more challenges might be added as downloadable content to keep the series going.
