The wide assortment of moves you unlock during the course of the game might lead you to believe this brawler has plenty of depth, but that's just an illusion. You can also conduct lightning, generate earthquakes, and summon wind, so at least you have the godlike powers you would expect from this mythical being. As Thor, you wield a magical hammer that serves as a powerful bludgeoning device for anyone stupid enough to wander nearby. The lack of variety wouldn't be a bad thing, expect that fighting never comes close to being fun. God of Thunder is a linear action game that focuses almost entirely on combat. Even with the low-rent technology on display, the frame rate still moves in fits and starts that can be downright nauseating before long. The worst part of the visuals is the stuttering frame rate. Stilted animations give every character the range of a rusty robot, and a terrorizing camera always leaves something important out of the frame. Sadly, the lackluster environments are one of the high points of this package. Everything is coated in a blurry smear that makes the bland textures look even worse. This insipid presentation extends to the visuals as well.

Thor, stubborn god-child that he is, doesn't heed this simple advice, which makes it difficult to care about the fate of this waste of divine flesh. The poorly constructed story contains neither interesting plot developments nor likable characters, though it does have a moral we should all keep in mind: Don't start the apocalypse.
