The most obvious criticisms are that the story is short (between 5-6 hours the first time through)and that the game is missing some of the features from other God of War games. It offers multiple reasons to replay it (I'm currently at over 25 hours all added up, between playing a second time -- where you get to keep everything you unlocked the first time -- and playing on God Mode difficulty, which is almost as challenging as in past games).
