Funny, re-visiting this thread just made me remember how much fun I had playing GoW3. I haven't played much this year yet, but from the last couple of big hitters, I think GoW3 is the game (single player) of the generation so far for me. Everything about it was just incredible.
It also gave me flashbacks of my gaming time on the gameboy 20 years ago. Combat, combat, spectacular boss fight, combat, more spectacular combat, super spectacular boss fight.... It just gets better and better and the end result, indeed, was very satisfying. It was a complete rush and after completing it, I just wanted to do it all over again. That is something quite rare and only GoW3 achieved that for me since a very long time.
at you calling Rome generic. The city is no doubt like other big cities, but you'd be hard pressed to find thousand year old structures like the Colosseum, Trevi foundation, St. Peters Cathedral, Castel St. Angelo, etc. in other places.[/strike]
