In celebration of the God of War franchise's tenth anniversary, a remastered version of the game, titled God of War III Remastered, was released for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) on July 14, 2015. Since its release, it has also been named as one of the greatest games of all time. The second best-selling game in the God of War series and the ninth best-selling PlayStation 3 game of all time, it sold nearly 5.2 million copies worldwide by June 2012 and was included in the God of War Saga released for PlayStation 3 on August 28, 2012. The game received several awards, including "Most Anticipated Game of 2010" and "Best PS3 Game" at the 20 Spike Video Game Awards, respectively, and the "Artistic Achievement" award at the 2011 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Video Game Awards. God of War III was critically acclaimed upon release, with praise for the graphics, gameplay, and scope, although the plot received mixed reviews. Compared with previous installments, God of War III offers a revamped magic system, more enemies, new camera angles, and downloadable content. The player can use up to four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability as alternative combat options, and the game features puzzles and platforming elements. It uses quick time events, where the player acts in a timed sequence to defeat strong enemies and bosses. The gameplay is similar to previous installments, focusing on combo-based combat with the player's main weapon-the Blades of Exile-and secondary weapons acquired during the game. Guided by Athena's spirit, Kratos battles monsters, gods, and Titans in a search for Pandora, without whom he cannot open Pandora's Box, defeat Zeus, and end the reign of the Olympian gods to have his revenge. Reigniting the Great War, Kratos ascends Mount Olympus until he is abandoned by the Titan Gaia. The player controls the protagonist Kratos, the former God of War, after his betrayal at the hands of his father Zeus, King of the Olympian gods. Loosely based on Greek mythology, the game is set in ancient Greece with vengeance as its central motif. First released for the PlayStation 3 on March 16, 2010, it is the fifth installment in the God of War series, the seventh chronologically, and the sequel to 2007's God of War II. God of War III is an action-adventure hack and slash video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.
