Great Fun

This game really is great fun, although it can feel like any other hack-and-slash.
The story is an obvious copy of the Bible with human made elements thrown in, but that is fine since Heaven vs The Underworld has always been my favorite line of story. You start off as one of the Four Horsemen (in other words, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) and lose all your powers (as you do in every God of War related game) but the beginning gives you a glimpse of how strong you really can be.
The rest of the game is basically smash Square to kill enemies, and press Circle to kill them once they're weak enough. Some of the tougher monsters are really annoying since they have magical block breaks and explode when you're done with them, but once you get used to jumping and walking around them it's not so bad.
The graphics seem a little too "sharp" as if there's no anti-analising, meaning edges seem ragged but when you're in the heat of battle it isn't too bothersome.
The music was my favorite part, epic and awesome, sounded like whoever made it spent a great deal of time making it.
It does have that kind of repetitive feel to it, talk to demon here, kill demon there, and the combos are sometimes too slow or too complicated to even bother with, so you generally end up using the Square button until you win.
As for difficulties, Easy would be if you want to be like a super-powerful-horseman and kill everything, Normal is if you want some challenge, and Apocalyptic is if you like a challenge until you figure out the best way to kill the enemy.
