Customer Rating:
Summary: GODLIKE
Comment: Having defeated Ares,Kratos now sits upon his throne on Mount Olympus as the new God of War.However,his lust for power grows and he constantly disobeys the will of the Gods.Seeking to conquer yet another city,Kratos joins his army on the ground to strike the final blow,however,this act triggers a betrayal by the Gods and Kratos is rendered mortal once again.It is up to you to fight your way back to Olympus and destroy Zeus for his treachery.Along the way you will encounter various new and dangerous enemies in some of the most technologically advanced environments on the PS2.Huge set pieces and breathtaking visuals blow away anything seen in the first title.Wield new and improved weapons to slice and dice anything that dares get in your way.So if a good story/game length/gorgeous environments/satisfying combat/legendary bosses and purchase satisfaction matter to you then God of War 2 is your kind of game.

Summary: A PS2 game that looks like a PS3 game . . 'nuff said
Comment: God of War II is a visually stunning odessy filled with everyone's favorites of blood, sex, and unadulturated violence. The game designers really pushed what the PS2 can do, which makes you wonder what they'll do when the sequel comes out for PS3. Excellent voice acting and beautiful landscapes makes the linear level setup barely noticable. While the actual area you have to roam around in isn't close to something like Grand Theft Auto, it never feels that way. You always feel like your in a huge area. With a starting boss fight that wouldn't be out of place as an ENDING boss fight for other games, God of War II pushes . . . no slices through every boundary it can.

Summary: Awesome Game--Kratos Rules!!!
Comment: This game along with God of War are not only the best games to come out for the PS2 but are actually the best games to come out for any system period. I mean that!!! You are not just holding a controller and just going along in a game but you are actually immersed in the action sweating as though you are running for your very life from these massive creatures in these games. If you do not or have not played these games you are missing out big time!!!!

Summary: More of the same -- but without the issues
Comment: There were small things keeping God of War from being an entirely fluid experience, and yet it was still a blast to play. God of War II effectively eliminates these issues, and -- unless you've already had your fill of Square-Square-Triangle combos -- this title is one of the best overall action experiences you'll find.
God of War never prided itself on the discipline and challenge that Devil My Cry and Ninja Gaiden present. Its focus is on making sure you don't have to work incredibly hard to feel like you're unstoppable (at least on normal difficulty). What makes up for this lack of challenge, though, is the sheer entertainment value of feeling in control of every slash of your blade in creating a massive multi-hit combo that lays waste to the fools around you. You can mash the buttons all you want, but performing these wondrous feats of multi-hitting viciousness will net you more opportunities to upgrade to bigger, better, and badder special moves.
That has been the God of War credo, but what makes the adventure better this time around the the little things fixed that held back the first adventure from being completely superb. Gone is the lame collision detection from environmental obstacles; everything feels "tight" this time around. If you got hit by a swinging blade, it's completely your fault this time. The balance beam nonsense is cut to a minimum, too. Finally, I really don't recall working against the camera this time around at all either.
What's better? More bosses. As with last time, not all of them have the epic scale of the first encounter with the Colossus of Rhodes (a multi-stage battle that takes you around and INSIDE the beast), but they are still intensely engaging even when they're as human-sized as you are. For instance, the absolute cunning of the disappearing Perseus makes for one of the most intriguing, delicious boss encounters in the franchise.
God of War II won't change the minds of those who swore off the first game's somewhat lenient action, and if you've had more than your fill, then you might not want to dive in again. That being said, God of War II is nevertheless crafted masterfully, with its niggling issues perfected, and still sports immensely satisfying action for those who like that kind of thing. When Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden Black are kicking you in the butt, at the very least you know you can take this one down -- and feel awesome doing it.

Editorial Reviews:
|
God Of War II continues that thrilling and bloody tale of Kratos, the mortal warrior who challenged the war god Ares for his throne. He succeeded, but his journey does not end there. In God Of War II he rules over war, far more ruthless than Ares ever was. To end his continued torment, Kratos must journey to the far reaches of the earth and defeat untold horrors and alter that which no mortal, or god has ever changed, his fate. God of War II sets an epic stage for a devastating mythological war to end all wars.
