philosoma's God of War II (PlayStation 2) review

God of War II

The game can speak for itself, so I'll just drop a few highlights.

10. A true sequel - amazing story right where the first one leaves off.

9. Epic boss fights in both scale and skill required to win.

8. Great musical score and voice acting.

7. Almost triple the amount of button "mini-games" that end in some brutal kills - satisfaction guaranteed.

6. Sense of scale draws you into the mythological world.

5. Fast load times and easy to navigate menus.

4. The game comes with a "making of DVD" that is entertaining for both gaming enthusiasts and those interested in going into the development field.

3. A lengthy adventure (10-20hr) with new weapons, spells, and attacks.

2. Unlockable costumes and characters as well as the Challenge of the Titans.

1. The game can be played in HD (almost 720p, it seems) with the use of a code.

Great game, get it now or wait until it becomes a $20 greatest hit - definitely for action game and Greek Mythology followers.

God of War 2 is the second installment to the god of War series on Ps2. Like in the first game, you again play as Kratos as he yet again goes on an epic story of revenge against the Gods. God of War 2 directly starts off where the first game left off. Kratos slayer of Ares is now the new God of War. But Kratos is still haunted by the memories of his past and the only way he can deal with it is by fighting. So Kratos sends his Spartan army on a crusade of pillage and destruction. The Gods of Ol...
