God Of War II
 Review
For the sequel to God Of War, the biggest challenge was improving on an action game that was damn-near perfect in the first place. But in sticking with the PS2 rather than wrestling with its new-fangled successor, the developers have created a sprawling, sublimely gripping adventure that’s superior to anything the PS3 has to offer.
Like the original, GOWII’s appeal is its bewildering sense of scale, incredible storytelling and unflinchingly gory combat; whether you’re scaling the body of a towering Titan to deliver the killer blow, arrogantly mocking the gods of ancient Greece or hacking the wings off a soaring Griffen before leaping to safety on the flying horse Pegasus, the game’s diverse challenges and delirious pace will leave even the hardiest gamer’s head in a spin.
More an evolution of the classic formula than a revolutionary new approach, GOWII polishes every aspect of the first game and boasts some of the richest, most imaginative graphics in console history. The PS2 may be on its last legs, but this is one hell of a way to go.

In all, the best Playstation 2 game ever with stunning beauty and great action story. ... Read More

| | | | GOD OF WAR 2 - GOD OF PS2 | | | The first GOW game pushed the humble PS2 and the platform/fighting/puzzle solving genre in new and exciting directions. Nicking ideas from the Prince Of Persia games and ramping up the violence and levels of presentation to new heights, the game won the critics over and eventually became a big 'sleeper' hit. GOW 2 pushes the PS2 to it's limits and, in doing so, the developers have produced one of the greatest action adventures of all time (on any console !). Stunning graphics, smart puzzles and ...

| | | | God of war 2 | | | Completed this last night, loved every second of it from the opening scene (wouldnt be out of place as a finale in a blockbuster) right thru to the end, Kratos is by far the most interesting character committed to a video game and you simpathise with him the more the story unfolds - its a true sign when u find the cutscenes in this game better storytelling than the entire movie of ghost rider! this has everything u could want, and gives u valid reasons for killing everything that stands in your ...
