God of War III impressions…

This can be the thread where everyone can review and give their thoughts on God of War III. Now, I haven't played the game yet minus the demo (I'm still at work) but I did pick up my Ultimate Edition during my lunchbreak and I'd like to let everyone know what they're about to get into.
The box for the UE itself is made out of a much sturdier cardboard than the usual special/collector's edition so I was instantly happy about that. However, after opening the box, I will say that I was somewhat disappointed. The Pandora's Box that comes enclosed is made out of plastic and is only a little bit larger than a PS3 game case while it lays flat. I assumed that it'd be a ceramic box so the fact that it was only a plastic replica put a bit of a damper on my mood. Give or take, though, it is still a very cool replica. The detail on the box is immaculate.
Once I opened Pandora's Box (which, funny enough, comes with instructions on how to properly open it; I definitely laughed at this), I was greeted with a super cool art book. A hardcover and a decent amount of pages on top of a sweet cover design makes this one awesome incentive to own the UE. Under the artbook was a thin piece of white cardboard. After removing this, I found my biggest problem with this Pandora's Box;
The inside liner of the box is made of a black felt-like fabric. Sounds cool, right? It's not. The fabric sheds more than my household cat. In a matter of seconds, I was completely covered in a black dust of sorts. It was like a plague that spread over everything before you even realized it. It's very messy and very gross. The game and sheet that includes DLC codes were completely coated in this fine dust. After spending minutes cleaning off my game, my clothes and my artbook (which was also attacked my this evil substance), I closed the Pandora's Box and decided that I'll probably never open it again. Like Kratos said, “in the end there will only be chaos”. That's exactly what I experienced opening up Pandora's Box.
So there you go. Whether you buy the Ultimate Edition of God of War III is entirely up to you but now that I've seen the contents up close and personal, I can honestly say that I'm debating whether or not I made the right decision in purchasing it. All the DLC and the artbook are definitely the saving graces here but still, for the additional $40 I spent, I definitely expected better. Oh, well. I'll be killin' Gods tonight with my ol' pal Kratos and that's all that really matters, right?
If you picked up the UE, what are your thoughts?
Happy gaming!
I just bought normal version since Pandors Box is to expensive here. I played for like an hour but I had to get of to work. I almost took a Day on Demand because of this game – it is so good. For me this is GotY
.And BTW the box is dirty and all becaue it is old like hell :P.
around 4hours in its really good a bit dissapointed at how easy the puzzles were no real mental challenge oh well but the bosses really are impressive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!spoiler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
