    Uno de los pocos juegos que la secuela supera al primer Juego, muy buen hecho, buena trama, y personajes epicos como Atlas y las Hermanas del Destino.

    It's a great expansion for the God of War franchise which accomplishes mainly everything it sets out to accomplish. Furthermore, if you're into pure rage killing and amazing gory finisher moves you're in for a treat as always. A great game for a classic franchise

    Más que como videojuego principal, es un puente para lo que sería el final de la trilogía. Brillante, en todo caso en todos los aspectos. Techo gráfico de la generación.

    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.

    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.
