I found this rather true at some points, as I have played the other god of wars, including this one. The storyline seems to generally stick to what you said, as do the weapons you get in some ways. It was a good review, not one of the best ones, but ok. The only thing that bugged me is that you missed some of the rather obvious good points in the game, even in the first level, you have the unexpected attack as you try to lift a door (a common practice in the other god of war games) which I found hilarious, also you missed a certain mini-game as others have stated, that I am also surprised at. I liked the comment that it was like a ballet of fighting, becuase essentially it is.
as a personal opinion on god of war, the only thing that bothers me is unlockables, after getting them, you dont feel like playing as the mime of war or Mckratos or the spud of war as you have just used alot of time, and suffered through tons of frustration, that its like beating a classic game for the sake of beating it. Anyways thats all for now
