When a movie tie-in is released nearly two months after the film itself, it suggests one of two things – that the developers have written it off as a lost cause, or the game is of such a high standard that they expect it to be successful regardless. Clash of the Titans is somewhere in between. As in the film, the game centres around the heroic Perseus and his battle against Hades, which means killing lots of monsters (there are more than 100 different types) using various weapons. The obvious comparison to be made both in terms of subject matter and gameplay is the God of War series, but Clash of the Titans never shows any danger of reaching those heights.
