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

“The manliest game made for men ever... Until God of War 3 comes out. Ever see Orgazmo? You know the song at the start of the movie? Yeah, Kratos is a man. That aside, excellent game, Jak and Daxter helped pave the way for this game to happen. Did a...”

“The the exception of Mass Effect 2 that is almost exactly my most anticipated upcoming list. Hopefully the Bioware guys will step and produce a PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 just like they are doing with Dragon Age.”

“Yeah, I thought they already had done a version of Mass Effect 2 for PS3...looks like we will have to wait for it”

“@JaguarCRO So you can distinctly *not* import your ME1 save?”

JaguarCRO was the last to comment - about 1 month ago...

“That isn't a big deal for me. I mean I would love if they brought over both but if instead they concentrated on delivering a quality PS3 experience for the 2nd one then that would earn my purchase.”

xoaks was the last to comment - about 1 month ago...

“Quality experience and multi-plat rarely if ever go together. There is always a leading SKU and in this, as in most cases, that SKU would be 360. Furthermore, Bioware has shown little interest in Sony thus far, DA:O being the anomaly. ”

“@xoaks +1.

Also, talking to my friend who owsn a PS3, I get the feeling that PS3 games have more bugs than 360 games. The examples he gave me were The Force Unleashed and some random Spiderman game (can't remember which one, won't bother to search). Is that the same pehnomena or does it have a different cause? I heard developpers saying that developping for the 360 is easier than developping for the PS3, and it's true that Microsoft is the most experienced platform builder, knows better how to please developpers.”

“@ruijoel Mostly. Sony has always been a hardware maker and Mircosoft a software maker. Plus leading on 360 makes it easy to port to PC, as it is the same basic dev-kit. ”

“Ah i just love killing greek mythology gods and ppl that are all around me. a true hero/god does not play with mortals but in order to get his powers back you must best the gods, demi gods and the badies to gain the title god of war once again.”
