Even if your a complete die hard XBX or Gamecube fan, you still can't help but give props to the PS2 hardware once again. Very few games in this genre ever get lucky enough to be considered "epic", and this game IS epic. Everything from the eye popping landscapes to the ginormous beasts is just fantastic, did I say fantastic, I meant "friggen awesome!" I'm not the biggest fan when it comes to platforming (The idea of timing your jumps on unrealistic floating platforms and elevating pedestals never sat right with me) but for some reason I didn't mind it with GoW, infact just about every platforming sequence fit right in with the game, and a big plus...they were never too difficult! Like Devil May Cry, the real kicker with God of War lay within the sheer simplicity of it's controls. Granted it doesn't take a genius to pull off a few pretty combos while button mashing, but with some patience an average gamer can string along 30-50 or even 100pt high damage combos with finese. And there are literally thousands of combinations to choose from. Lest we not forget all that cool magic and weapon upgrades you get to choose from, it's just refreshing. My only real gripe is the continue screen you get if you die too often within a certain period of time. It's an inconspicuously different screen that the developers threw in to "help" if your experiencing some difficulty. It'll ask if you want to put your game on "Easy Mode" (assuming you didn't already select easy mode ya wuss). Well if your anything like me and got used to clicking them buttons pretty damn fast so-as you can get back to your game after the 11-teenth fall from that cliff, you'll most likely do as I did and accidentally click "Yes" some where along the line. This will land your game in a persistant easy mode state from which you cannot change back, it sucks. I was also kinda hoping for some additional downloadable content for my hard drive (the very same HD I recently brought for that glamorized version of an AOL chat room called FFXI), oh well.Vollständige Rezension lesen
In spite of my persistence to not go with the crowd and ignore God of War while trying to broaden my horizons as far as my gaming experiences go I must admit that my curiosity got the better of me after the sequel came out and my God of War fan-boy friends wouldn't be quiet about it so I decided to give it a whirl and see how many minotaurs I could carve up before I was completely desensitized to blood. It turns out quite a few minotaurs were killed and it may have been enjoyable along the way at certain points. I'll admit that God of War is by no means a bad game. The controls were tight and intuitive and there were a variety of ways that I was able to decapitate my violence fodder foes. The story is not the worst I've ever heard but then again I've never really cared for Greek mythology. Basically a muscular guy named Kratos became somewhat of a contractor for Aeries, the God of War (hint hint) and while on a murder fest he kills his family. Being the vengeful type, Kratos then goes on a quest to kill Aeries involving all sorts of other Greek myths. At one point he dies along the way and fights his way outta hell just to build a more stable foundation of badassery. Like I mentioned before the combat is fluid and violent like a bloody sacrifice and there are combos that can be added on to so killing things never gets old. The level design is my only irritant. Some seemed like they were just padding to try and keep the game rolling for a few more minutes. One part in particular was where I needed to wander through a desert with zero visibility and try to kill three sirens (the mythical beast and not the police ones I hear at my neighbor's house on a daily basis) so I could unlock a gate to progress. It took me over an hour to wander through, find them and kill them even though it was a relatively small area they were hidden in. Also there are a lot of underwater tunnels you'll need to swim through and running out of air killed me more than any of the other fights combined. On a final note this game is not for kids. Just in case there's someone jumping on the bandwagon later than me and might be thinking of getting it for a kid relative as a present, there is a playable sex scene. Try explaining that one to the kid's parent when they walk in the room to have the kid ask "what is that he's doing to the two women?"Vollständige Rezension lesen
This game is ahead of its time, the graphic, story and gameplay. The truely reminder that PS2 was golden era of gaming. If you have memory with this game, grab one. If you never play it, grab one. This is master piece of gaming history.

God of War is a fun game about Greek Mythology. A character named "Kratos" fights his way in order to free himself from his master. God of War gives any gamer a wild ride of levels, puzzles, monsters, "boss fights", and endless mayhem. The music is amazing, because it has that ancient feeling that takes you to Greek times. The music is very intense during "boss fights", which will make anybody fight the "boss" until its dead. The graphics may look "weird", but the graphics are good for its time (Game released in 2005). The graphics are colorful, creative, smooth (Especially the "movie scenes"), and the best part is, it takes any gamer to the imaginative world of the Greeks. The story is cliche, but nevertheless the gamer may want to know more about Kratos, and his quest for freedom. Overall, the game is fun, and I recommend this game to any gamer. Especially to gamers who haven't played the God of War series.Vollständige Rezension lesen
"God Of War" is definitely one of the best games of its time. And no matter how many changes gaming and games in general go through it will be a mainstay name for all time. This game personifies puzzle solving and making the player have to think more times than not. So if that is something you hate in a game, and want everything perfectly mapped out for you to do, this game is not for you then. Don't be surprised when encountering a lot of these tasks if you say to yourself "There's no way you can do this!" because I said that tons of times myself. But I've beaten it, so I can honestly say if you take your time all tasks and puzzles are capable of getting by. One good thing the game provides is hints along the way to help you on certain tasks/puzzles. Another thing the game excels well in is telling you the controls along the way for everything possible at a certain time, like when it comes to certain attacks and using certain powers of the Gods....etc. It's obvious when looking at the game once playing it, that they put a lot of work into it to make it the best it possibly could be. The scenery in a lot of places is impressive and breath taking and will leave you on the edge of your seat. Especially in parts where you have to rock climb and things of that nature. The controls are not nearly as complicated as they seem when you first start playing the game. Once you execute them a few times you get the hang of everything. Truly a great game for anyone that loves mythology, that loves a great story being told as you play it, and anyone that loves violence and good graphics. You really can't ask for anything better than God Of War!Vollständige Rezension lesen
Two words: simply amazing! The cutscenes and gameplay graphics are supurb, and the storyline sucks you in before the game even STARTS! Battling enemies gives you plenty of customization as YOU decide how you want to defeat them. You can grab an enemy, then whichever button you push next is the way you finish him off. Will you rip a demon in half, or kick it to the ground and stab it to death! It's definitely a "M" rating title, but I haven't played a game like this in quite some time. On some of the bigger enemies, once you've worn it down enough a command will appear above it's head, press this to initiate "mini-game" mode where you must follow the button combinations on the screen quickly and accurately to finish them off, or else get thrown back to the ground and battle some more! This game is engineered with button mashers out of thought! If you just mash the buttons in this game, the mass of enemies will eventually run you down. The only minor con I have for this game is the inability to manually change the camera angles or look around. Whatever angle or view they give you is what you have to deal with, BUT sometimes that's part of the puzzle you're trying to solve. Showing too much of the room might give away the solution to the puzzle. So, in a way it's not that bad. Save/load times are quick for the amount of data that needs to be saved/loaded. There are plenty of opportunities to save your game, and also includes "built-in" checkpoints you are unaware of in case you die to respawn on. You only get one life, so the checkpoints definitely come in handy as you have unlimited restarts from them. As you progress through the game and collect red "orbs" you can choose which weapons/magic you want to upgrade to the next level. This was the best feature of the game because it allows you to enhance weapons you use the most, or favorites at that. The environments are almost completely playable, and you even get "orbs" for destroying random items! In a way, it entices you to check for secrets and hidden items! As you upgrade your weapons/magics, new attacks are unlocked and you attacks get stronger of course. Simply incredible! This title is $19.99 now, as it is a Greatest Hits title, and IS the best game I've played in quite some time. They also just announced God Of War 2 coming out sometime in 2007...so make sure you pick this up and finish it by then!! :)Vollständige Rezension lesen
God of War is one of the best games. I can play it for hours and hours. I can beat the game and start playing it again. Never ending fun.If you have a PS2 buy this game and God of War 2.
