Great sequel to and already great series.

User Rating: 9.6 | God of War II PS2
God of War 2 has similar game play from the original, which is a good and bad thing. One of the things that always bugged me in the first game was when you attacked; some enemies would just disregard it like a mosquito bit them and just attack you. Now I can understand this if it was some of the larger enemies in the game but the solders shouldn’t even stand a chance. Another thing that disappointed me with this game was that some of the tactics and combos from the first game don’t work or don’t exist. For instance the square hold square combo is no longer the same. Also the death bounce tactic only works once and is no longer that powerful. So with out that I can’t imagine myself beating this game on Titan mode.

I beat the game in 10hrs and there were only a few parts I had trouble with. But then again im used to God mode from the first game. The puzzles remain interesting and the story is really good just like the first, if not better. Kratos gets new abilities like the Icarus wings and the Golden Fleece. Three sub weapons, the barbarian hammer is just a slightly different version of the Artmes blade, The spear is ok, and the third sub weapon you don’t get until the end, plus you can only upgrade it during the challenge of the Titans game so it really doesn’t count. Most of the time I used Althena’s Blades. The magic in the game seems a lot similar to the last one. You get another gorgon head, Typhoons bane is a lot like Zeus fury, and Atlas quake (I think that’s what its called) is similar to Poseidon Rage. Chronos Rage is the only different magic spell out of the bunch.

Overall this was a really satisfying game more boss fights, great sound track, and all the stuff above were just minor complaints but it doesn’t hinder the game play hardly one bit.
