From the looks of it, it seems to have surpassed Dante's Inferno which doesn't surprise me at all seeing as the God of War franchise was quite strong to begin with and Dante's Inferno at the end of the day, was just a substandard hack/slash with a "cool story" but relied a lot on it's shock value rather than gameplay to remain good. Unfortunately, I have not played GOW III yet for myself though but have played DA so can comment on that...definitely want to give it a go soon though.
With all that said, who's played GOW III yet?
