    Good, not great game, with a few flaws...

    From all the high reviews this game has been getting, you might think its the best thing since sliced bread. But while this game might be extremely solid and well put together it is not without a couple of problems.

    First off, the graphics, movies, sound, voices, and controls are all superb. Every single thing in this is seemless and smooth. Kratos has a ton of moves and yet none are difficult to pull off. The quality and time spent polishing this game really show.

    But where the game starts to slide a bit is in its gameplay.
    The boss battles in this game are awesome yet they are so few and far between. After killing the hydra in the first level you will probably play 6-8 more hours until you hit the second real 'boss' battle.

    In between those 7 hours you will fight about 5 different enemies; Skeletons, harpies, minotaurs, cyclops, and medusas. THATS IT.
    Fighting the same 5 enemies hundreds, if not thousands, of times does get old very quick.

    And while some of the moves are awesome to behold the first time, you will wish you could skip them later on. Pinning a minataur to the ground was cool the first few times but after the 200th minataur i just thought of the move as a chore.

    And what game designer thought those underwater traps and spinning towers of spikes were fun? It is NOT fun to die 30 times in a row at some of those ridiculous traps.
    And seeing big bad Kratos tip toe across balance beams was funny too.

    In the end, i had a good time with God of War. It was a very solid gameplay experience. However, i find this game to be highly overrated because of its repetitive hack and slash nature and a few of its overly difficult traps.

    Flatout Best Game On PS2

    You can read all the reviews for this game and you will see: IT AIMS TO PLEASE. I don't even need to talk about the specifics, aside from the fact that it is the best game playstation 2 has ever produced, and has to rank in my top 1-2 video games of all time!

    Gore, control, involvement, difficulty, video sequences, game design, GOD OF WAR has everything a gamer could possibly want. That's how I describe it. If you've ever played a video game and you thought "oh man, I wish the character could do this or that" at any given point, God of War is the solution.

    It's like they asked that question at every stage of the game, from wall climbing, to rope swinging, to tearing enemies in half with one's bare hands. God of War gets it - how all video games should be made, and I can't wait for the sequel.

    If you pass on checking this game out, it's gonna be a huge mistake in your life, and the gods will never forgive you.
