lol, and this is without ever having played the game before? i admire your skill, mr.fatbum! i want some more reviews from you about games you've never played! ;)
it's true though, gow does take greek mythology and cheapen it, but it's not the first game to do something like that. kid icarus did it. hey you want to hear something actually offensive? imagine a game taking a real-life incident from world war ii where hundreds of soldiers died, and then parodying it with squirrels in a cartoony fashion! now that's what i call quality cheapening!
but gow is a fun game. i guess some people here hate non-nintendo games? at least you're honest about hating on a game that you've never played though! most forum-goers do the same stuff all of the time but never admit that they've never played the game in question for any significant amount of time. props to you for that, good sir. personally, for me, i try to play a game before passing judgement on it. especially when it's as critically-acclaimed as gow is. i even had to play through superman 64 before i could hate on it. but maybe i'm a rarity in that regard! heh
