What is the closest thing you could come to a game like GOW for 360? I played GOW I & II for PS2 and the third is coming out for PS3 and i can't afford buying one right now so i am currently looking for games that is similar to GOW. I tried Viking:battle for asgard but god that game sucks ass..the story is shit and the charachters suck..so is there anything else i could find for the 360? I also heard about Rise of the Argonauts but that game didn't impress me at all...i am waiting for darksiders and dante's inferno thou and i hope they reach same standard as GOW but for now i am looking for something else...enlight me.

Looking forward to your answers Smile

regards

Thereis no God of War like game with high production values on the X360 right now (and no announced one either AFAIK).

I know that but something similar or a good story with good gameplay maybe does the drill..but there is some awesome games coming like "Darksiders" and "Dante's inferno" which looks very good and i hope they are good as they show.

That's the trouble with wanting a system tied game, anything else normally turns out as a watered down cheap shot. Hence if you can afford it own all the popular consoles (depending on their content) and enjoy the games as you see them.

As said, the Viking game was it's nearest shot..

X-men Wolverine, basically GodOfWar with different graphics... great game.

edit.. oh and Devil May Cry 4 of course, not as close to GoW gameplay wise as Wolverine but it's a good game as well.

The new Kojima (multi-platform) Castlevania looks God of War'ish from what we've seen.

Castlevania.
Robert Carlyle.
Patrick Stewart.

WIN! Checking out the trailers and I swear to god, the game is all-but-identical to GoW - just in a darker tone.

@Deelix

Yeah man! I freaking LOVE Conan - despite have fugly graphics - and, until Darksiders and Lords of Shadow come out, it's the closest thing to GoW we're gonna see on the 360.

Graphics whore? GTFO. You'll hate it.

You don't need good gfx when the game mechanics are great and there are lots of blood Very Happy

Sadly Golden Axe could only provide the last one Sad

I must agree with Sabin, Conan rocks. Come on, you can pull enemy's guts out with your bare hands... what else you would want? I actually even finished the game, but the last boss was real pain in the ass. Graphics is not that bad. Tons of moves, blood, gore, dismemberment. Sure, it does not look like GoW but still lot's of fun. As for GoW, I actually consider buying a PS3 for this one and GT5.

Conan is the closest to GOW but it wasn't THAT great lol. I was entertained enough to play it to the end but it's not like a masterpiece, pretty fun but still forgettable IMO. If you're desperate for an action hack n slash though I guess it's the one to get.

Yes, you will get more weapons. Each weapon has 3 upgrades and has it's own fighting style/combos/finishers etc which unlock when you upgrade your weapon... Some Lv3 weapons are also very powerful.
There are easy pussles where you must shoot the target with a bow to open the gate, use an item to open the door etc but mostly you fight. I actually liked this game more than GoW, it's much more challenging

Devil may cry was my "God Of War" fix for the xbox - fast action, maybe a bit over the top - but still top notch!

on a side note:
Damn my eyes - my browser didn't autologin, so i accidentally saw those sad posts from sabin. Do not - i repeat - do NOT listen to any of his bullshit!

Don't worry mate Ill gladly help you with paying that 1$ cause Conan is "teh shiat". It's really good for what it is. Decent GoW like hns game with gore all over, guts, special moves, easy and satisfying gameplay and CONAN as a main character. Not some pantsy, greek dude Wink ...
