　　Announced just a few months ago, Sony's God of War III Remastered, an updated version of the 2010 PlayStation 3 game, launched Tuesday for PlayStation 4. It's the first God of War game for PS4.

　　The game runs at 1080p/60fps, but how is it holding up with critics? To help you decide if it's worth a purchase, we've rounded up some editor opinions and review scores below.

GameSpot -- 8/10

"60 frames per second and 1080p resolution aren't game-changers for Kratos' adventure, though they are certainly nice attributes to have; God of War III Remastered is simply another chance to admire a game that we admired five years ago. At a $40 retail price, however, it doesn't make a strong enough argument for buying a game you've already bought, particularly when the lower-resolution pre-rendered cutscenes stand out all the more next to the in-game visuals." - Kevin VanOrd [Full review]

　　

IGN -- 8.8/10

"God of War III was an impressive feat for its day, and it still impresses today in God of War III Remastered. Its beautiful graphics are prettier than ever, and a higher frame rate adds more fluidity to the action. The story will be confusing to newcomers, as it picks up right in the middle of the saga, but the exciting combat and epic set pieces hold up exceptionally well." - Meghan Sullivan [Full review]

　　

Game Informer -- 9/10

"If you were planning on playing (or replaying) God of War III regardless, you can't go wrong with this version. It's the same game that earned so much acclaim five years ago. With that being said, God of War III Remastered does nothing to entice old players to return; apart from photo mode, you won't find any new options or tweaks to inject novelty into the adventure. You even need to beat the game before you can use the handful of included DLC costumes. God of War III is still a fantastic experience, and a significant beat in gaming history, but this remaster doesn't build on its legacy." - Joe Juba [Full review]

　　

Hardcore Gamer -- 4/5

"God of War III has aged surprisingly gracefully. Although it's over five years old, somebody inexperienced with the series could easily mistake Remastered for an original PS4 game. In that sense, the release is a resounding success." - Steve Hannley [Full review]

　　

PlayStation Universe -- 9/10

"As far as Remasters go God of War III is a welcome but an unnecessary one. The single addition of the Photo Mode and updated graphics are something I feel just aren't worth paying $40 for a five year old game." - Garri Bagdasarov [Full review]

　　

Shacknews -- 7/10

"While God of War III Remastered may scratch the nostalgia itch we all have for Kratos-related mayhem, it doesn't offer anything more than a good-looking trip down memory lane. If you have yet to play the original God of War III, this would be a great opportunity to do so, but those who don't want to have their memories tarnished due to a lack of bonus material may want to steer clear of God of War III Remastered." - Daniel Perez [Full review]
