    This game is a legend. Very fun and very enjoyable. It's technically a legend for its year of release. But I don't think it had a very satisfying ending and the death of Athena made me very sad

This epic continuation of Kratos' journey through Greek mythology is a flawless display of action, storytelling, and sheer gaming brilliance, deserving every bit of its perfect 10/10 rating.

    The gameplay in God of War 2 is an absolute triumph. Kratos' combat prowess is refined and expanded upon, making every encounter an exhilarating experience. The fluidity of his movements, the weightiness of his attacks, and the variety of weapons at his disposal make for a combat system that is as satisfying as it is engaging. The puzzles and platforming elements seamlessly integrate with the action, adding depth and diversity to the gameplay experience.

    This game is a major improvement over the first god of war. Better story, better graphics, more gore, more boobies, more bosses, and better weapons. The story in this game is execellent.

The game play remains the same from the first god of war and is bit easier. The bosses in this game are just epic. They are all different and you come face to face with the one who made Kratos the way he is. Weapons are where this game excels. The blades of Athena. Look way better than the original blades and this time the main weapons are equal so you dont abandon the other ones. Kratos's new super mode is extremely awesome, and it does feel quite Awesome using it. The magic in this game is cool and notable. The music in this game is a little lacking though. The art design looks awesome especially the bosses. The characters of the game are great, not dull one around. This game is definitely a buy. However there is something really disgusting at the end, I won't say what but you will know when you get there… Expand

    God of War II is one hell of a game its one of the best looking games on the PS2, its gameplay is a bit better than the first game. The story is awesome, this game takes place after Kratos becomes the god of war. Kratos goes on a journey for vengence. Everything about this game is great.

    "God of War II", he aquí una secuela que parece que tuvo la suficiente ambición como para superar la primera entrega de la saga que, ya por sí fue épica. Lo que digo es que "God of War II" es un juego divertidísimo y un cordial saludo a la generación PlayStation 2.

    There's no real "in-depth" explanation that can be associated with reviewing this game.

    All I can really analyze is what, besides the amazing use of Greek-lore and brutal combat system, makes the game's story its strong point. God of War II does what games today can not often comes close to. It makes the player WANT what Kratos wants. It gives the player Kratos' need for revenge.

    God of War II does what games today can not often comes close to. It makes the player WANT what Kratos wants. It gives the player Kratos' need for revenge. This was the driving force behind myself playing this game. God of War II does an EXCELLENT job in making sure the gamer won't just play the story like it's a chore; they make the gamer WANT revenge. The most surprising thing about this is that they don't convey that need through an immense exchange and emphasis of Kratos' "inner feelings". They build up the desire through making the player hate every enemy, and their destruction through one of the most metal combat systems of the game's time. Of course, the main flaw in the game is it's repetitiveness during it's middle, but I'd easily recommend this game to anyone who prefers beat'em'ups.
    I'd rate this game an 8.5 if I could, but rounding up is the next best thing.    … Expand

    God Of War 2 is an excellent sequel to an already damn good game. The graphics and cut scenes look amazing for it's time. The combat is fast, fluent and responsive. The story is interesting and compelling, setting the stage for GOW3. The boss fights are spectacular. God Of War 2 is an excellent Hack'n'Slash title that even rivals Devil May Cry 3.

    Yes, Kratos is back and he is the God of War. At least for a couple of minutes into the game he is. It really is not all that long before he is stripped of his godly powers so that he can defeat this giant statue with this really powerful sword. Well this turns out to be a trick by the king of the gods himself, Zeus and Kratos is killed. However, this is only the beginning, with the aid ofYes, Kratos is back and he is the God of War.

Well this turns out to be a trick by the king of the gods himself, Zeus and Kratos is killed. However, this is only the beginning, with the aid of Gaia one of the titans Kratos begins a search for the sisters of fate in a quest to undo the betrayal by Zeus and to kill Zeus. You get to go through more levels this time as there is less backtracking than there normally is in a game like this. So the game stays fresh throughout. Then you get to see other characters from Greek mythology and you normally get to see Kratos rip them apart in very unpleasant ways. There are a couple of good boss fights in this one, most you have to figure some trick to defeat them. At one point when I was fighting the Kraken I just could not figure out why it was not dying, then I figured out the trick necessary to kill him. The fighting is pretty much the same as the first game, but then if it is not broke do not fix it. Though as with the first game they give you extra weapons, but the default blades are still the best. All the other weapons just tend to lag while with the default ones, combat is so much smoother. Though there are a couple of really nice spells in this one as the earthquake spell really did some damage. The game is not perfect though, there are one to many timing puzzles that drove me crazy, and the game is once again on the short side. Still, it is nice to play a game that is not tailored to the online crowd and I am hoping that God of War III is also just a very grand single player adventure.… Expand

    This game does not making you push through enemies when solving the puzzles. Yes, there are some enemies that appearing after making some things, but there just cosmetic. they even not posing threat to any player. They just give you a little relax moment after some hard fighting against any enemy you've had previously.

    It has 3 sub-weapons, more useful magic (In previous GoW the magic were abit not needed to complete the game but, it's fun to actually stone enemies and then calling the Souls of Hades to hit them) and well, more more enemies.

    As how i've seen, the game only give you fun when you are on Hard or Titan difficulty. Yet, the Titan just beat you even you are ready for it. Just because on the Titan some places of the game (literally, in early game) gives you ''FATAL'' blow, where you can't do something about it. And that's where the ''fun'' of the developer lies, or simply ''Crying, Pain, Angry''. Well, to truly say, Titan difficulty is not recommended for those who haven't yet mastered Hard difficulty.

    The good feature ''Bonus Play'' gives you just the thing to rip-off your enemies with Blade of Olympus, or even any other Sub-weapon in pack, not to mention founded urns, which you can use to really make this game everywhere ''just for lulz''. Want stone enemy in air? Give yourself Urn#2! Want to use cheesy Poseidon's Rage magic? Fine, beat the challenges with high rating to get Urn#6! Want a new challenge? collect all eye's of cyclopi to unlock the General Kratos skin and play with it on Titan!

    Sub-weapons can make some playing really cool. Well, maybe they are not detailed like the Blades, but
    they can give Blue orbs/Yellow orbs after you killed an enemy with the sub-weapon activated!

    Want even more? You have an arena to play, good place to practice against any enemies you've had in the story.

    And even more interesting and more nice lulz are extracted from the glitches, which is like: Swimming Glitch, Long Jump, High Jump etc.
    Glitches can make you play the game more more discovering many things to do.

    GoW II is just the game where you can break it, and extract the most of possible fun you will have, than any game would. Even more: GoW III/ GoW can do it too!

    Total: The game is a good, but i will not give it 10 just because 10 would mean perfect game right? 9 for it.    … Expand

    The best game in the series, although keep in mind I've played all the games before the norse reboot so my opinion may well change. Epic cinematic feel is the strong suit of the game, Kratos controls and pulls off outlandish stunts reminiscent of the ancient warrior epics he's based on. I usually don't like brutality in games but in this game it's entertaining

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El Comienzo del fin de la mitología Griega, la retribución divina de Kratos, y mi Quinto videojuego favorito de todos los tiempos, la historia inicia con Kratos ya siendo el Dios de la Guerra es invocado por su ejercito espartano, y va a la ciudad de Rodas, pero de repente le cae en el hombro un águila que le quita parte de los poderes divinos, y se los da al Coloso de Rodas, y Kratos debe enfrentarlo, pero de repente desde el cielo le habla Zeus, que le da ayuda dándole la Hoja del Olimpo, una espada con gran poder, que Kratos al poner el resto de sus poderes divinos logra vencer al coloso no sin que antes la mano del coloso lo aplaste y lo separe de la Hoja del Olimpo, y Kratos ensangrentado y destrozado va a por la hoja del olimpo no sin que antes se le aparezca Zeus, para decirle que le sirva para siempre, o sino lo matará, Kratos se niega y se lo enfrenta pero después Zeus le entierra la Hoja del Olimpo al estomago de Kratos, y al morir Kratos tiene visiones con la titana de Gaia que después le cura las heridas, y después le da su ayuda para que vaya a donde las hermanas del destino, y después Kratos llega donde las hermanas las mata y viaja en el tiempo a la época en que Zeus lo traicionó y decide enfrentarlo, y ya cuando estuvo apunto de darle el golpe de gracia con la Hoja del Olimpo a Zeus, se interpone Atenea, que después Atenea se sacrifica y recibe el espadazo de la hoja del olimpo, y Zeus aprovecha y escapa, y después antes de morir Atenea, le dice que Zeus es el padre de Kratos, y por eso quiso matarlo, y después Kratos también decide vengarse de los dioses olímpicos, no sin que antes haga otro viaje en el tiempo para llevar a los titanes a su época para que así derrocar a los dioses del olimpo, y mientras Zeus está reunido con los demás dioses olímpicos ven que desde abajo está Kratos en la espalda de Gaia junto a los titanes diciendo que trajo la destrucción del olimpo, y así inicia el comienzo del fin, esta historia continuará...., en cuanto a jugabilidad este no se queda atrás puesto que trae innovaciones en cuanto a su predecesor, ya ahora el botón de acción es R1 y no R2, como el God of War 1, lo que permite que sea más cómoda la experiencia, con equis saltas y dos veces haces el doble salto, y en este juego gracias a un item que conseguimos en el juego llamado las alas de Ícaro, podemos planear manteniendo equis, con circulo agarramos a los enemigos y haces las secuencias Quick Time Event, con cuadrado ataques rápidos y triangulo ataques fuertes, con L1 nos cubrimos y tambien se pueden devolver ataques enemigos en el instante que nos lo lance gracias a otro Item que conseguimos en el juego llamado el vellocino de oro, las magias con L2 ahora son: la perdición de tifón (que es un arco y flecha que sirve para ataque a distancia y lanzar un viento para lanzar a los enemigos lejos), la ira de Cronos (que son unos rayos que electrocutan al que se te acerque, algo parecido a la ira de Poseidón del juego pasado), la cabeza de Euriale (que al igual que la mirada de medusa sirve para petrificar enemigos), el temblor de Atlas (que crea un terremoto con piedras que derrotar a los enemigos) y al igual que en el juego pasado se eligen con las flechas del mando las magias, el R2 ahora sirve para cambiar al arma secundaria además de las espadas de Atenea, las cuales podemos cambiar con circulo en el menú del juego, las cuales son: la Hoja del Olimpo (que la conseguimos al inicio y al final del juego y es muy importante para la trama), el martillo del jefe de los barbaros (que es un martillo gigante que además de aplastar enemigos, podemos invocar almas, muy idéntico al ejercito de Hades del juego pasado) y la lanza del destino (que es una lanza que se ataca muy rápido y potenciada, lanza una especie de gas neón faxea), con el joystick izquierdo manejamos a Kratos y con el derecho esquivamos los ataques enemigos, como siempre, con L1+R1 activamos el amuleto de los hados, que en cierto puntos nos sirve para retrasar el tiempo como en Prince of Persia, con L3+R3 activamos el modo Rage, que en este juego es la Furia de los Titanes, que es mucho mejor que las del juego pasado ya que a diferencia de la del juego anterior esta podemos usarla cuando queramos, aunque tengamos muy poco de la ira, y además se puede recargar con orbes dorados, en cuanto a gráficos no hubo un gran mejora en cuanto al juego pasado, se nota más el cambio en las escenas CGI que se ven mejor que las del juego pasado, pero en cuanto a lo jugable no hubo muchos cambios, pero aun así se nota que ha mejorado un poquito que el juego pasado pero aún así se ven muy cuadriculados, en conclusión el God of War II es una muy buena secuela y digna sucesora del God of War I y el Imperio contraataca de God of War.… Expand

Is the success repeated, as in the first part? Is it also such a MASTERPIECE, or a failed sequel? I'll tell you straight. Another awesome game! God of War II follows right on where the first part ended. Again, not much is talked about and we continue in the threshing machine, which again knows no limits and is bloodthirsty, as was the case in the previous part. Again, it's about improving the character, which results in even better action. In short, God of War II repeats what God of War I meant by what worked and still works this time. Wonderful locations enriched with a masterful soundtrack and, of course, delicious battles. There will be some more puzzles, and one of them gave me a hell of a chance before I figured out what to do. As I mentioned, the game again has wonderful locations, which have undergone a slight change. The beautiful palaces, which they did, were also in the previous work, but here they came to me a little nicer. It will also occur in parts purely outside these buildings. I don't want to spoiler much, but let's say that as the desert is in number one, we will see a few such locations here as well. To sum it all up. God of War II repeats what God of War I does, but in my opinion it brings nothing new. Yes, the fact is that a lot of people object to the fact that there is a story that surpasses the number one and I have nothing against it. Personally, I liked the one of the first a little more, so God of War II lags a little behind the first part for me. But don't get me wrong. It's not a botched sequel. What's more… it's a successful proper sequel and an amazing game that I recommend.… Expand

    There are a few brilliant core improvements, such as the beautifully implemented grappling system that lets you swing around with your blades. But for the most part, the game's best features are context-specific things rather than features that change or improve the title as a whole...A stellar example of what can be done when a developer focuses on telling a story and lets that drive the game.

    It's not just one element that turned the game into a masterpiece, it's every element – the controls (perfection), world design (unbelievably creative), combat (exciting and challenging), and enemy selection (unreal) are just a few of the reasons why this is PS2’s best first-party release.
