I realized I have no real interest in going back to this - it seems...stale? Or, just off-color... I'm having a hard time figuring out what it is I haven't enjoyed about this game (given that I've played 4 other games in the series and really enjoyed them).

I've played a few hours already and I guess I'm a little disappointed so far. It's not that there is anything wrong with the game - it's just that the more I play the more I think back to Dante's I nferno and how much I enjoyed it. It feels a bit like I'm cheating? Heh! I guess it doesn't help either that I have no idea what's going on with the story - I understand that Kratos is trying to escape the three Furies, but I don't really know how Kratos ended up in that situation in the first place. It seems that the other games I've played dealt with Kratos' motivations in a way that seemed more interesting or natural to me? I mean, escaping from the Furies is a lot less interesting than avenging a loved one or any of the other things that were going on in the other games I've played. I'm not sure I'll be interested enough to play all the way through, I'll guess I'll have to wait and see...
