Message: [QUOTE="soulsas, post: 225737, member: 25845"] I recently read the novel version of [I]God of War[/I], and honestly, I thought it was pretty solid. Some parts felt off, probably because I have the game burned into my memory, but in other areas, it actually added something new. The book works both for people who already know the game and for those who’ve never played it—though it definitely helps if you’re already a fan. There are a bunch of references to Greek mythology, and it gives you a look into Kratos’ mind and his view of Olympus. It’s like an epic legend brought to life for people who didn’t get the chance to experience the game firsthand. So yeah, overall, it’s a good read... but it’s not without its flaws. [B]Pros:[/B] Epic legend vibe Dual perspectives (Kratos and Olympus) A story about grit and determination Lots of Greek mythology references [B]Cons:[/B] The pacing is uneven (starts slow, ends super fast—like they rushed the ending) Some forced events just to match the game Repetitive words and phrases here and there A few typos and awkward translations Lacks emotional punch and drama in the narration Abrupt ending [/QUOTE]
