God of War II

God of War II (PS2)

Strengths: (1) Awesome game, even better than 1st God of War (2) Exciting pace, keeps your interest as you are moved from one memorable event to the next (3) Great graphics!

Weakness: (1) Violent content may turn off some

First off, if you have your PS2 (or PS3) hooked up through Progressive Scan enabling Component Cables, hold down the following combination of buttons before the game boots up to access a higher resolution mode: L1 + L2 + L3(Thumbstick button) + Square + Circle (simultaneously). You'll know if it works because the text that first pops up will be purple. Now, you will have a higher res image if you...

God of War 2: If you own a PS2, you MUST buy this...

Strengths: Beautiful graphics, epic story, great soundtrack, voice acting is superb.

Weakness: None

God of War 2 is the likely to go down in history as the last great PS2 game. If you haven't played the first GOW, do yourself a favor and beat that one before you attack the sequel. . It's safe to say that if you own a PS2, you need to own this game. It's the most fun you'll have in a single player game guaranteed. I don't know how they managed to squeeze every ounce of computing power out of the...

God of War 2...doesn't disappoint

Strengths: Improved graphics, new moves, more boss battles, more challenging gameplay, more unlockables

Weakness: Sometimes frustrating, although nothing different from the first God of War

What can I say that you probably don't already know? It's the sequel to one of the best games ever made on the PS2, let alone on any system. It picks up right where it left off from the first one, and it just never disappoints from beginning to end. The graphics, the voice acting, the cinematics, the score, it's all just as amazing as the first. If you're a fan of the original, the new one will...

The Ultimate Swan Song

Strengths: It's God of War.

Weakness: Still a lil on the short side.

The last great PS2 game is here and it is God of War two, the game puts Kratos back battling against the Gods to get the respect he deserves. The story is very engrossing and visually it looks very good with 480p support as well. This game really has no flaws. I wish every console could have a send off like this.

A MUST

Strengths: Gameplay,Blood, violence, action, character is nearly naked(seriously that skirt is almost too sexy)

Weakness: Lack of boobs

In this epic sequel, we see Kratos as the new God of War, fighting the Colossus of Rhodes, engulfed in a Burocratic trade dipute with the "banana chiquita" transational. This thriller action game takes you several epic scenarios such as the Sisters of fate temple, the Ruins of Cartago, the Central Market in Downtown Chepe and the Foridden swamps. In this adventure you'll face minotaurs,...

God Of War 2

Strengths: Graphics, Gameplay, Story

Weakness: None

Kratos is back and better then ever in the sequal to one of the best action games on the PS2. The graphics and gameplay are amazing and you quickly forget you arent playing a "next gen" system. The amazing combos and the ease at which you can pull them off is a real plus for me. I havent gotten to far into the story yet but from what I have played this is a must own game for all ps2 owners. Do...

God of War II

Strengths: Epic gameplay, graphics, music

Weakness: Absolutely none.

God of War II is a worthy sequel to the successful God of War. It follows the epic story of Kratos as a mortal warrior to dethrone a god. The gameplay is awesome and engaging. It has the same control as the first GOW, having both regular battle system as well as context sensitive control. The graphics is simply amazing. Rich environment and detailed texture. The soundtrack is great too as it...

God of War II

Strengths: Great game, awesome graphics, excellent gameplay, story.

Weakness: N/A

First off... if you haven't played the first God of War, you have no business playing this game. So before continuing, make sure you've played the original. That being said- God of War II is yet another great game. It is just a continuation of the first game with only very minor changes. The gameplay and graphics are the same as the prvious installment. The storyline continues right where the...

GOW II

Strengths: epic story, cinematics, and enough blood and gore to satisfy those who don't care about the former two...

Weakness: like all good things, this game will come to an end... (or will it ? :)

I remember during my last year of graduate school I rented and beat a PS2 game (prince of persia 2) in 3 days time, just to prove to myself that although I'm no longer at my peak playing video games, I still had what it takes. PS2 is far from its peak too, but before it cedes the throne to PS3, it will show you with GOW II (a PS2 exclusive!) that it still got what it takes too. GOW II is arguably...

God of war 2

Strengths: fun, good story

Weakness: n/a

God of war 2 is a great game. It is a little longer than the original and improves on the gameplay a bit. It's more of the same and that's a good thing. Overall, a great game, but overhyped.
