Amazon.co.uk Review

In a nutshell:
The sleeper hit of 2005 returns with Kratos seeking an escape from his fate as the new god of war. The game’s even more bloody and violent than before as you take on every mythological monster in the book.

The lowdown:
Given the quick turnaround from the first game this isn’t an enormous departure from the original, but that’s no bad thing with a series as accomplished as this. Kratos has a new range of moves, combos and magic to unleash but the biggest changes are in the variety of monsters he has to face. The bigger ones can only be beaten with special button presses, which result in some spectacular finishing moves such as the Cylops whose eye Kratos plucks out of its socket or the cannon fodder zombies he slices in two. One of the best sequences though has Kratos leaping off the back of a Pegasus and onto a Gryphon, whose wings he promptly pulls off before falling to the world below.

Most exciting moment:
Just like the original this game recreates many of the best moments from ancient Greek mythology and movies. One particularly cool sequence involves trying to get a golden fleece that can reflect back the stony gaze of a gorgon.

Since you ask:
Many fans were surprised that this sequel wasn’t on the PS3 but a next generation version is being planned. Original creator David Jaffe isn’t working on either sequel at the moment though, but on an as yet unrevealed PSP project.

The bottom line:
Kratos sticks to what he knows best: the PS2 and ultra violence.

Manufacturer's Description
The story picks up where players last left off with Kratos. Sitting atop his throne on Olympus, Kratos, the once mortal warrior has become a threat far worse than his predecessor Ares, had ever been. Kratos is a ruthless God, whose wrath strikes down anyone who crosses his path or the path of his beloved Sparta. The Ghost of Sparta sets out to alter that which no mortal, or god has ever changed, his fate. Kratos' journey brings him to the very edge of the Earth, facing countless beasts, monsters, and horrors from his previous life, all bent on preventing him from reaching his goal. But this is Kratos, and his defiance is filled with such arrogance and contempt that all of the Ancient World still trembles at his name: Kratos, the God of War.

Customer Reviews

God of War
i liked this game when i played it about a year and a half ago but it didnt work on my ps2 so refunded but that 1 didnt work either, so just didnt bother after that.

The PS2 Bows Out In Style
God Of War 2 is just as good, if not better than the first. more moves, more magic and more enemies to slice, dice, decapitate etc.. The graphics certainly show that PS2 has some life left in it yet and are truly amazing, one of the best on the console. With God Of War 2, the Ps2 is definetley bowing out in style, and going out with a bang!!!!

Kratos is back......
Truly the swan song of the PS2. Whether you are a die hard God of War fan or not, this game will arguably meet and surpass any prior expectations. With a rich and intricate plotline, hoardes of grotesque yet beautifully created creatures, immersing gameplay and the backdrop of Greek Mythology, this game will leave you with a sense of joyful frustration as you attempt to complete some of more challenging parts with a sneaky smile on your face as you annihalate the scores of enemies that come at you, in what can be termed as no less than a bloodbath.

This game, revolves around the main character, Kratos', quest for vengence aginst none other than the Top of the Greek Pantheon,Zeus himself. This game chart Kratos' journey to the Sisters of Fate, to harness their power in order to exact revenge upon Zeus at the moment in which he was betrayed by the King of the Gods.

The world of Greek Mythology comes alive in this game, as most monsters imaginable from the world of Greek Mythology are thrown at you in many shapes and forms, from Gorgons, to Minotaurs, each of which one can kill in brutal yet stunningly orchestrated ways.

The gameplay and controls of this game are fairly simple and very easy to get the hang of, especially with a cinematic kill option which allows Boss Battles to take on a new level of grandure. Aside from that the range of unique and equally enjoybale weapons used include Warhammers, Spears and the Chains of Olympus (a waepon similar to that used by the Dark Prince, in The Two Thrones) and aside from weapons, the use of magical powers given by the titans are also a lot of fun to use with deadly force.
However the one thing that sets this game apart from most others, is the grandure and the sheer scale of the Boss Battles. Whether it's fighting on a winged horse in mid air aginst an angry griffin, whether its destroying the colossus of Rhodes from the inside-out or whether its twisting of the head of a morbidly obease gorgon, the boss battles will never fail to deliver in any department.

God of War II is a must buy game, and will not fail to satisfy any gamer, and it certainly should be a game that should be bought to give the PS2 a truly fantastic send-off
