Kratos is my step-brother...! (God of War 3 Review)

Hah ! After 25 crazy hours of playtime and 2 playthrough I managed to obtain the Platinum Trophy for God Of War 3 ! Any longer and i'm going to get Finger Arthrits. Since I spent 25 waking hours, I'm going to write a review on it for anyone out there wants to achieve full 100% game completion.

If you're indolent to do so, read the summary below,

1) Play on God Mode (Hard) if you're aiming for 1 playthrough. (BEWARE, not failing or dying in the labyrinth and beating the Cerberus Breeder is a pain in the bowel...!!)

2) Print a version of the "locations of chests and godly possessions". Most reliable guide : http://guides.ign.com/guides/886158/page_3.html Collect Minatour Horns, Pheonix Feather, Gorgon Eyes (just need 12 for each), and ALL the Godly Possessions..

3) Level-up/Upgrade Blades of Exile and Nemean Cestus first before other weapons.

4) After obtaining the Bow of Apollo, just keep burning 100 different enemies till you receive the It's getting hot in here....Trophy.

5) After obtaining the Head of Helios, again, keep "shinning" 100 different enemies till you receive the Nice Tan throphy.

6) Right after defeating Hades, you will receive the Claws of Hades, in a room full of skeleton enemies, keeping using L1 and O to attack the enemies till you have a 1000 hit combo. Beware : Do not upgrade Claws of Hades and don't use R2,it stops spawning enemies. This would enable you to get the Hit Man trophy.

7) After seeing the Poseidon Princess, the next room is filled with dogs that spawns infine hounds.
Just press O to 50 different hounds and you'll receive the Obedient School trophy.

8) Make sure you rip apart one olympus sentry and three centaur general. Just click O when you see them.

9) Completely upgrade your weapons when you have enough red orbs before the end of the game.

10) After max upgrade the Claw of Hades, change different Souls from the weapon menu and toggle R2 for Souled Out Trophy.

P/S: To obtain the aMAZEd trophy, when you reach the labyrinth don't die or fail..! If you do, don't save or restart at checkpoint..!
Start all over again from the start of the labyrinth. If you still can't, go search on some tutorial videos on youtube..)

After beating the game, complete all five the Challenges of Olympus. Again, search on youtube for some handy tutorial videos.

Basically, all the other trophies are related to the story or are very hard to be missed...!

My advise,
1 Hard God Mode Playthrough if you're an expert..
1 Easy Spartan Mode and 1 Hard God Mode if you're new...
1 Medium Titan Mode and 1 Hard God Mode if you're so-so... (like me)
1 God Mode and 1 Chaos Mode if you're insane..!

Gambateh ! or rather "Hope is what makes a strong, it is what we fight with when all else is lost".
