DESCRIPTION
God of War is an action-oriented adventure game with a strong focus on fast-paced combat. Players take control of Kratos, a mystically powerful hero in the ancient Greece of classic mythology. Kratos can perform super-human leaps, agile dodges, and magically enhanced combo attacks, which all flow together in a stream of intense engagement. The fast-paced, over-the-top fighting, combined with the tense environments and computer-directed camera angles, give gameplay the feel of combat-adventures such as Devil May Cry or Otogi.
Unlike those earlier blends of survival-horror presentation and combat-minded control schemes, however, God of War is set in a world more immediately familiar to all fans of western fantasy. The ultimate goal of Kratos is a conclusive confrontation with Ares — the god of war himself — but the hero must face a deadly succession of monsters and villains from Greek mythology as he pursues this end. The Hydra, Medusa, the Cyclops, the Minotaur, and other legendary creatures will all have their chances to destroy Kratos before he meets his final destiny.
As God of War begins, players see Kratos high atop the tallest mountain in the land. They watch as he calmly steps forward off the cliff's edge, in a determined, desperate act of suicide. As the cursed hero begins his decent toward what seems an inevitable, gruesome death, a flashback fades into the story's beginning. Only by playing through Kratos' adventure will players learn what led the hero to take that step toward oblivion. By playing well, they may perhaps yet influence his final fate. ~ T.J.

“An Epic of Grecian mythology mixed with 'Neo-Shakespearean' elements of Chaos and betrayal.
The tale follows the Protagonist Kratos as he progresses through the world of ancient mythological Greece whilst doing the bidding on Behalf of the Gods of Olympus.
Typical Hack and slash game play, however this is beautifully orchestrated with massive chain and action combos multiple weapons and masterful element music.
Powerful storyline of destructive vengeance, Kratos becomes the Ultimate Anti-Hero in this game”

“I bought this game with low expectations... For a hack and slash game it was truly something else that I wasn't adjusted to after all the Devil May Cry I used to play. A fighting game with a story that made coherent sense and had amazing voice acting and good visuals while retaining a mature theme with little to no silliness. God of War and the rest of the series deserves your attention! They are amazing experiences and a good addition to why we all love this genre of butt kicking action!”

“Greek mythology kicks ass and this game stands to prove it yet again! While this series is a bit too popular for its own good, this game holds its own as an epic, thoroughly intense, and wonderfully gory action adventure. The grapples were wonderfully constructed and put to amazing use in boss fights. The two main weapons were both satisfying in their own ways and simply but effectively designed. My only significant complaint is in the final battle, the scope of which was not done visual justice at all, and fails to be amazing as it should be. (Collection status: owned. Completion status: Completed. Accurate score: 8.25)”

“The reason I gave this game a 3/5 is because I never finished it due to my Playstation crashing and eventually dying. [it was old. It will be missed]
BUT. From what I played, I can say that this game is bloody wonderful. Kratos is a walking slaughterhouse, and proving that I'm stronger than an AI minotaur always makes me happy. I did adore the graphics and gameplay and the storyline. Hopefully I'll get a new PS2 one day so I can finish playing this game.”
