Best game for the PS2

God of war has it all. A great story, Graphics, and Game play. The story feels like it from a Hollywood movie. It starts at the top of tallest mountain in Greece with Kratos stand at the edge of the cliff. Kratos says “the gods of Olympias has abandoned him. Kratos walked off mountain falling to death. Just before he hit the water the game flashback three weeks earlier and you start the game. That scene makes me want to play the game nonstop until the end to find out what happen. I will not tell anymore about the story. If you want more get the game. In game play you get to run around Greece solving challenging puzzles and fighting dead worriers, sea monsters, a huge bull like creature, a three head dog and more. In the begin you have 2 blades that let you make fast hits. Through out the game you get new power from the gods, such as throwing balls of electric, turning enemies in to stone, souls of the dead, lighting power, a different blade that is strong but slow. With each enemy you get something like blood points, you use the points to upgrade your weapons. With each upgrade you learn new attacks and combos. The game only has only 2 bosses, I would of like to see maybe 1 or 2 more bosses in the game.
The graphics are like no other game I played. Great use of colors, some times looks life like. The game as some extras like behind the scenes that are unlocked after you beat the game. A little bit of warning, this game is rate M and it should be. I think no one under 18 years old should game this game because of a few scenes of nudity. In all God of war, or some call it GOW is a must have. So what are you waiting for?
