Graphics, game play, difficulty, fun were all top notch. favorite video game of all time and im 31

This game is a PS2 masterpiece. If you can only own a few games, this should be one of them.

This game is absolutely amazing. The controls are great, the gameplay is fun and varied, and the story is very good for a game. If you can only own a few PS2 games, this definitely should be one of them.

Most surprising thing about God Of War: The graphics hold up EXTREMELY well today. I played this on my PS3 with widescreen and progressive scan on, and the game looks as good as some of the early PS3 games. It's really a great looking title.

The only bad thing I can say about this game is that there are a few portions of this game that are extremely difficult, especially at the end. I won't spoil anything, but there were two parts in particular that took a lot of tries to get past. Luckily the load times are short, and the check points frequent. So don't hesitate to buy this game, it's one of the best console games out there.

cool game but hard to play

i like a mystery
but if this game didn't give you hints on the screen you might never figure it out
and there is one spot
you have to have perfect timing to get past this spot
or its all the way back to the start of an incredibly long segment

The best adventure game ever!!!!

There is no better adventure game than this one!...this game really goes beyond Prince of Persia (which was one of my fave games until i played this one) and those games, simply the best!!

Absolutely not a game for a child!!! :-P

GOD OF WAR opens with a cut scene showing the main character of the story, a Spartan warrior named Kratos, jumping off of the highest mountain in Athens saying that the gods have rejected him. The game then rewinds to a time period three weeks earlier. Kratos is aboard a ship that is attacked by the Hydra. Later Kratos is sent on a grand journey to save the city of Athens from Ares who is attacking the city and reigning destruction upon it. Kratos' mission takes him through Athens, into the desert, and down to Hades. Kratos takes on harpies, gorgons, cyclopes, minotaurs, centaurs, undead warriors, wraiths, Cerberus dogs, and satyrs. In order to defeat Ares, he has to find Pandora's box (ironic isn't it that the box that brought all terrible things into the world is the one item that can be used to defeat a god). It's an engaging story.

The graphics are of excellent quality. The scenery is both majestic and savage. The fighting is violent and graphic as Kratos rips creatures in half, tears off their heads, or savagely beats beings to death. Blood splatters all over and the sound of breaking bones is common.

The game play combines elements from role-playing, fighting games, platform games, and puzzle games. The game can originally be played one of three different modes: Mortal (Easy), Hero (Average), and Spartan (Hard). I played the game in Hero mode and other than two or three instances didn't have much difficulty during the fighting sequences. I found the most challenging elements of the game to be the puzzle solving sequences.

After beating the game, a series of extras are unlocked including God (Super-Hard) mode. Defeat the game in Spartan mode and more extras are unlocked. The extras that are unlocked regardless of the level played include some deleted scenes, a documentary about the creation of the game, a cut-scene telling about Kratos' younger brother who grew up to hate Kratos, all the in-game movies, character graveyard, a challenge of the gods mini-game of ten challenges, and a few others. This was the first time I've ever played a video game that included more extras and special features than most DVDs.

The game only takes about 8-10 hours to beat and with the different levels, makes it user friendly for any skill level. The game is quite violent and also includes a few scenes with woman baring their breasts so it's not a game for younger children. However, overall GOD OF WAR is a great video game. Recommended for adult gamers and highly recommended for anyone who has an interest in Greek mythology.

I have played this 4 or 5 times

This will be short, because I am still playing. Don't play this game if you do not enough time! It's very fun and additive, and the greek history is great icing on the cake. I also have Gow 2 which is just as fun, still have soft spot for Gow 1.

The best PS2 game by far!

The graphics and audio are smooth and the vistas and landscapes are amazing. The story line weaves Greek mythology in an exciting way, too. The music is AWESOME! Having a real orchestra makes all the difference. The game is challenging in the best ways and I couldn't wait to finish, then start again at a tougher level.

Fantastic game, worth your time.

I went through half of this title on a friend's copy and had to pick one up for myself. One word describes this game: visceral. I don't buy action games very often, but this one really floored me. Excellent storyline and soundtrack to boot. Highly recommended.

Good... but

I started this game just after completing the Prince of Persia series. I loved PoP for the action, ease of motion and the ability to have total 360 vision. With God Of War, we've got a similar style of action. Taking out the baddies, solving situations, hidden treasures and Kratos can move like the dickens!
But, my one issue is you can't change the camera angles. Many a time I get caught in a battle and I can't see what I'm doing because a Minotaur is in my way. I guess that's where the ability to evade will come in, but it's hard when you don't even know if you're standing up or lying half dead on the ground!
All in all, this game is really good and I would recommend it totally. I'm looking forward to playing God of War 2.

Great Game

This game is a very action packed game. Tons of blood and violence and even a little adult content at times. The ONLY bad thing i found in the game was that at the end there is nothing to go back and do except God mode. Other than the ending i found nothing wrong. Many people complain about certain parts being too hard and they rate the game super low, but i think if they rate it low just because it is hard they are just being little girls who can't accept a challenge. Overall i find this game to be one of my favorite.
