The God of War PS2 game has a new version called God of War II. It was God of War II which garnered the Golden Joystick Award during the 2007 Golden Joystick Awards, for being the “PlayStation Game of the Year 2007”. The storyline and great features has won the game many fans.

The main character is called Kratos (called the New God of War) who must battle various foes, mainly using the Athena’s Blades as his basic weapon. As the game storyline unfolds, other weapons can be obtained and used as well. These weapons, along with magic abilities and the Athena’s Blades, are indispensable to winning the game. Mythical creatures that appeared in the original God of War also make their return to this version. The game is loosely based on Greek mythology which is why certain Greek gods like Zeus and Athena are considered integral characters that Kratos encounters here.

    After dethroning Ares the god of war and plunging a huge sword through his sternum, Kratos is back to claim more heads, spines and other random limbs. You would think that the man would be happy as a god with concubines, but sadly he isn’t. He’s grown weary of sitting on his duff and watching his Spartan soldiers pillage towns and set them ablaze. He’s decided to join in on the fun and let some helpless town feel his wrath. In doing so he has upset the gods Zeus... Read more

    Sony setzt auf ein aktuelles und beliebtes Thema, die griechische Mythologie. Sie bietet mehr als ausreichend Stoff für eine aufregende Storylinie. Dass nach dem Erscheinen der PS3 noch ein PS2-Titel für Aufregung sorgt, hätte ich nicht erwartet. Doch „God of War 2“ toppt alles was ich bisher auf der Playstation 2 gesehen habe. Grafik, Sound, Atmosphäre, Action, Spielspaß und Cleverness, heben dieses Action-Game mit Pauken und Trompeten auf den Thron. Ich hätte... Read more

    The original God of War won game of the year honors back in 2005. It even beat the highly touted Resident Evil 4 to win the award. The game had a style of art direction that was ahead of its time. God of War II meets and exceeds the quality of God of War. The storyline revolves around none other than everyone’s favorite Spartan Kratos. This adaptation is a direct sequel to God of War and transpires after the event of Kratos slaying Ares. As Kratos is sitting atop his... Read more

    When the first God of War ended, we all knew right away a sequel was going to come, and that David Jaffe and his crew had their work cut out trying to top what was a perfect harmony of fluid, engrossing gameplay and balls-out attitude. And while PR sources for many games over the years have tossed that word around flippantly, trying and mostly failing to bring the world the next Sonic the Hedgehog or Grand Theft Auto, God of War actually earned it in spades, with every...

    Many will view God of War II as a superb swansong for the PlayStation 2. Of course it certainly would be but given the unbelievable popularity of the console and its capacity to still sell very nicely indeed you can't help but feel that it will continue to be Sony's main console for the foreseeable future. Even so it's difficult to imagine the PlayStation 2 having many better games than God of War II added to its ever-increasing catalogue of games. The harsh reality of... Read more

    The game worth downgrading for. I was hooked from start to finish. Just an amazing title and a linear game that does not feel linear. Left me wanting more war and more gods. Read more

    If you like the first game this is a must have, great for renting as it will take about 8 hours. The graphics are perhaps the best on the ps2. I found a few parts of the first game frustrating, but not so much here, this is a really fast violent angry game that you'll be compelled to complete. Read more

    God of War II Format: PS2 Developer: Sony Genre: Action How good is God of War II? Well, we guess that‘s a bit like asking how impressive is the Grand Canyon or, how big is space? The sense of scale in this game really is an eye–widening sight to behold and truly stakes its claim as one of the PS2 landmark games. Who say‘s size isn‘t important? And what‘s not to like? From the opening brawl with the Colossus of Rhodes to the Island of Creation, a huge sprawling... Read more
