    This game was very well designed. The story was compelling and I enjoyed playing this game. The best game on the PlayStation 2 in my opinion. The sound effects were awesome, the different fights were designed masterfully and always kept me guessing. Overall, had a good time.

    God of War II took action/adventure games to a brand new level by introducing more immerive gameplay, new powers, titan mode and some smart ass challenges. the game had a mild shiny tone in graphics which felt pleasing. longer to complete and some grappling's which are purely based on timings. the combat system and leveling up system is improved in GOW 2. truthfully the hardest game toGod of War II took action/adventure games to a brand new level by introducing more immerive gameplay, new powers, titan mode and some smart ass challenges. the game had a mild shiny tone in graphics which felt pleasing. longer to complete and some grappling's which are purely based on timings. the combat system and leveling up system is improved in GOW 2. truthfully the hardest game to complete in titan mode challenges i just love e'm :'D… Expand

    Graphics are ok but found too much physical labor (beating up your controller) to fight bosses. Redundancies throughout game play. Fighting colossus beginning was the best part....

    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.

    God of War Significo un gran juego en la consola de Ps2 debido a su exelente jugabilidad su buen argumento, buenas graficas y dinamica de juego con puzzles batallas y cinematicas contándonos la continuacion de la historia de venganza de Kratos contra los Dioses. Una segunda parte que me quede sin palabras . SUBLIME

    Well, This game is good in terms of many things.

    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    Well, This game is good in terms of many things.

    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

    Epica continuación de god of war. Sinceramente es uno de los mejores juegos que jugue en mi tan querida ps2. Los graficos son una locura y la fluidez de los movimientos de Kratos simplemente una genialidad. Recomendadisimo!

    God of War II may in fact be the best action game ever made. It outdoes the original God of War in every way.

    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.
