God Of War - 11 Things We Wish We Knew Before We Played
Does anyone know if there are multiple difficulty levels? Most importantly, an Easy option? I doubt I’d get through it if there’s not.
EDIT: another review mentioned that there is an Easy option. Whew.
Give Me A Story: lets you experience the story without too much of a difficult gameplay challenge. You won’t be taking a gondola to the top of the highest peaks in all the Norse Realms, but you will have a far greater margin for error in enemy encounters.
Give Me A Balanced Experience: is the mode we’d recommend most players start with. The name says it all. We’ve tuned it to deliver a balanced, challenging playthrough.
Give Me A Challenge: is harder and less forgiving. It is recommended for players who find action games extremely intuitive, and for confident long-time God of War series veterans who’ve beat past games on harder difficulties.
Give Me God of War: is the sort of thing reserved for people who wrestle polar bears in their undies. Maybe not quite that, but it’s the most difficult mode in the game. We haven’t just made you weaker or enemies stronger; we’ve looked at enemy behaviors and placements in encounters as well, tweaking everything to make it as threatening as possible. Best of all, you cannot change difficulties once you start a game on this mode, so if you suddenly realize you’re in way over your head, you’ll have to start a new game. Don’t be sorry, be better?

God of War Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?"
Why can't Jack, Sam, and Daniel join him?
Is anyone getting the Deluxe version? It doesn't seem worth it, but I'm curious what others think.
Does nothing for me.
Yeah, I am exactly in the same boat. I wasn't a huge fan of the old God of War games for several reasons (quicktime events, static cameras, button mashing, etc), but this one excites me.
The fact that it's Norse mythology is like an awesome cherry on top as well.
Yes. Considerably different.
