    Very terrible writing, gameplay sucks. If you like watching movies this game is for you as there is more cutscenes then gameplay.

    Esse jogo melhora o primeiro em absolutamente tudo, história, gameplay, personagens, gráficos, eu ainda prefiro o primeiro por ter jogado muito mais na infância, mas definitivamente god of war 2 é impecável e um jogo incrível.

    God of War 2 is a game that I can't help but love. It's so over-the-top and ridiculous, but it's also so much fun. Kratos is a total badass, and he's always getting into crazy situations. The gameplay is satisfying, and the story is surprisingly engaging.

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.

    The story in God of War 2 is a masterclass in Greek mythology and character development. It delves deeper into Kratos' tragic past, his relentless quest for vengeance, and his tumultuous relationship with the gods. The narrative unfolds with cinematic flair, filled with epic moments, unexpected twists, and unforgettable encounters with legendary figures from Greek mythology. The voice acting is superb, further immersing you in the emotional turmoil of Kratos' journey.

    The soundtrack in God of War 2 is a symphony of epic proportions. From haunting melodies to bombastic orchestral arrangements, the music perfectly complements the intense action and dramatic moments, immersing you further into the world and enhancing the overall experience.    … Expand

    An original game but I prefer the 2005 one as it is much more violent it has more mutilation and blood but the 2 is still good.
    I didn't like this one so much in relation to the first one because in this one the story didn't end completely, there was a question mark that would only be told In the third game that only came out for PS3

    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

Having played the original and not liking it and then decades later playing the PS4 God of War (technically the fourth entry) and realizing it is absolutely amazing I thought I would see what I was missing in the gap between. Turns out-"Frustration" is the answer!

    Every time the camera pans through a new puzzle room I cringed, each enemy encounter includes about 10-15 more enemies than you'll enjoy fighting, and the story seems more interested in how violent they can make Kratos without anyone realizing that he just smashed an old man's face in to a table.

    The puzzles weren't difficult in design, but with no camera control and some puzzles requiring solving while you are getting hit by enemies-it becomes a real slog. There's also a really poorly implemented mechanic where you are turned to stone by Gorgon's. If, by chance, this happens in the air mid jump you shatter instantly. Really a frustrating way to have to repeat a section.

    This game is a product of a time where games were meant to be frustrating with very little story. We'll see if I can still stick with the series!    … Expand

    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

    Take this review with a grain of salt, as I have never been a fan of the original God of War games. It combined two game mechanics that I despise the most: Button mashing and quick time events.

It combined two game mechanics that I despise the most: Button mashing and quick time events. That is why it took me so long to return to the series, God of War II, which is often regarded as the best God of War game from the old trilogy. It is definitely a good production. Graphics, sound, cutscenes all push the PS2 to its limits so if I were a game critic, maybe I would have rated this higher.

    Core game is still the same and I do not like it. I still hate button mashing; I still hate quick time events and God of War II has a lot of those. It is also as much a puzzle and platforming game as it is an action, so expect plenty of puzzle solving and precise platforming. So yes, it is an epic journey with some good boss fights and a great story, but it’s just not for me.    … Expand

    The mechanics have improved since God of War I and it's an entertaining and classic game. However, I think that being in the same setting with the same goal has a bad impact on the game.

    "God of War II" was arguably the last truly great PS2 game. Released during the twilight days of Sony's second console, it held up amazingly well. GOW II is a big sequel that refined and expanded upon its legendary predecessor. It might borrow a little too much from the first GOW, but it's still amazing.

    God of War (2005) was an excellent game that did not take long to wait and for 2 years it brings us a full-fledged sequel. 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.

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

    An excellent sequel. It takes a while to get going after the amazing introduction, but it's overall a great game. Perhaps a little weak in the puzzle criteria to its predecessor and it also may lack replay value due to its linearity. These are its only downfalls however.

    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.
