DESCRIPTION
Kratos, thanks to your help, is no longer a lowly mortal but a legendary god. The former warrior of Sparta has not been the same after usurping Ares, however. His mind is filled with persistent thoughts of blood, brutal suffering, and violent conflict, as the rest of the gods on Mount Olympus embroil themselves in petty politics and duplicitous deeds. Kratos wishes to end his torment, and he makes a solemn oath to end his reign as the God of War in unprecedented fashion: by permanently altering his fate. God of War II has you twirling Kratos' twin blades for more adventurous action in Ancient Greece, as the grim hero encounters an assortment of new mythological creatures and environmental dangers on his path to redemption.
The epic quest will take Kratos to the Sisters of Fate, who possess the power to shift the sands of time. To get there, Kratos must prove his valor by trudging through dark swamps, past ancient temples and forgotten forests, and across uncharted terrain filled with vile beasts, towering boss characters, and devious puzzles. Skeletons, Cyclopes, Gryphons, and more will try to prevent Kratos from fulfilling his goal, but the warrior turned deity can return the favor by attacking specific body parts and lopping off arms, heads, wings, and more. New moves are available to master as well as new magic, which is now inspired by nature and can be combined to create new, freeform combo attacks. Other notable elements include the Golden Fleece power-up, allowing Kratos to reflect both projectile and melee attacks, and flight combat sequences on the wings of Pegasus. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“This game have a great OST, and nicelly done level designs (The Steeds of Time is my favorite). However... The gameplay is just boring. I finished this game and didn't liked it... I tried to give it a second chance, playing in "hard"setting and even so, I wasn't all that entertained with this game... I kinda regret buying it (despite the interesting Special Features DVD). Summing it up: GOW2 is a nice show but almost without substance.”

“A solid title. It's just too bad that so little work went into the remake and that it was so similar to the first one. http://sebspot.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/god-of-war-2-vent/”

“I think I'll get right to the point, GOW II Is the best hack and slash action adventure game ever made period. If you played GOW I you'll get an intense satisfaction from the second installment. This game is better than the first one on all levels, including graphics, storyline, character wise, and of course game play. The game has one hell of a beginning, it wastes no time getting to the point as Kratos is seen rising from his throne as the true god of war, and unleashing his madness upon olympus. Soon he is tricked into giving up his powers to zues, he ends up adventuring through out the game as a mortal killing pretty much anything that gets in his way like the hard ass we all know him to be lol.The story line is simple, and yet very in depth at the same time, your main goal is to kill zues and to once again reclaim your powers as the god of war, ahhh making false gods suffer has never felt so good. The game is actually very short, an experienced gamer would only take around 9 hours possibly less to finish it. Replay value is great too, unlockable movies trophies await you after beating the game, my overall rating for this always entertaining never repetitive hack n slash game gets a perfect 10/10 Words could not describe how well made this game is.”
