Manufacturer's Description
This action/adventure/combat game makes powerful use of the darkly imaginative world of Ancient Greek mythology, where the realms of the mortal and the divine collide in a pervasive atmosphere of brute force and violence. Playing as Kratos, throughout the game players will wield double blades bound to his body by long chains, weapons symbolic of this vicious world to which he is bound and the fate from which he seeks to escape.

Featuring an hour of cinematic sequences and a deep combat system incorporating context-sensitive actions and an extensive range of combos, GOD OF WAR takes players through various environments that will have them fighting fierce enemies, swinging on ropes, scaling mountain cliffs, swimming through rivers and sliding down zip lines. The result is a unique and thrilling adventure through Greek mythology.

this is abrill game a must have
i think that this game is a must have.I got it for chrismas and i have not stopped playing on it.i think sony have craked it this game is not for the faint hearted with gore and more gore .it only works for the slimline ps2 and if the lazer head is dirty it will not load up so use some lazer head cleaner onit. if you need help on a level go on the offfial web site through playstion.com ,GoW web page has a black background and click on message board there you will find what you want.

God of War is almost God of Gaming..........
This game is spectacular - it has great, often stunning visuals, an interesting storyline, great use of mythology, bone-crunching fighting, tons of special moves and upgrades etc.
It soes exactly what it says on the tin, its a solid beat 'em up, but with a bit more depth than your average fighting game.
Negatives? a couple.....can prove very difficult sometimes, and this gets annoying when fighting the same enemy 10 times because you keep getting killed. Also, some of the camera angles are a little arkward, making it hard to see and fight properly.
That said, the combination of puzzles and fighting is fantastic, and this game is HIGHLY recommended.

Gobsmackingly Good
If after playing this game you think that the fixed POV camera is "a bit annoying" then you are probably clinically dead. This is the second best game on the PS2... God of War 2 being banjo string strokinly brilliant. Enjoy!
