Fighting is done by pressing different button combinations which are assigned to certain moves. In this hack-and-slash action game with platforming and puzzle elements, the player controls the main character Kratos as he battles against many kinds of enemies. God of War III retains much of the same form of gameplay as with the previous titles in the series. With nothing much to live for, Kratos will stop at nothing to bring chaos to all of Olympus. Knowing that the battle against the Olympians would not be easy, he enlists the help of the Titans, the former Elder Gods overthrown by Zeus and his brothers, to help exact revenge.
Betrayed and killed by his father and ruler of Olympus, Zeus, to give up his power, Kratos returns from the Underworld and decides that he will bring about the death of Zeus by any means necessary. Continuing right after the events of God of War II, Kratos, the fallen god and spartan warrior, finds himself riding on the back of the Titan Gaia toward Mt. The Ghost of Sparta returns in this final chapter of the God of War trilogy.
