No game will ever get great reviews across the board, seems this score is based on the dislike for Kratos rather

Not exact matches
Too bad the tweaks to the time - tested
gameplay (smarter bodyguards, more balanced weaponry,
etc.) and handful of new
gameplay modes (Bridge Melee) are beginning to show more desperation
than innovation or creativity.
Bigger, faster, more in depth and wholly better
than XL but it remains largely the same despite additional
gameplay modes, tracks
etc..
We've got complaints about PS3 titles being longer
than 8 ~ 10 hours, graphics are too detailed,
gameplay too varied,
etc..
At certain times throughout the
gameplay, either console looked better

etc.) are the same on both versions.
There have been a few tweaks overall that add to the game and the level of realism within the title, mainly cutscenes,
