![]() I also think that, of all the God of War games, this one is harder then the other ones. In my personal opinion, sometimes the game gets tiring specially because of the many puzzles and many moments you need to come back to the same spot you were before. This game is full of puzzles, beautiful scenarios (that are a great characteristic from all the God of War games)and many action scenes. Since Ares is attacking Athens, the goddess Athena herself tells Kratos that if he destroys Ares, he will be forgiven for the acts of cruelty he did, and also will be able to forget his horrible past. In this first game of the franchise, Kratos needs to defeat Ares, the god of war, (and responsible for making Kratos murder his family) by the request of the Gods. It had success in introducing the story of the spartan Kratos with the Greek mythology already known by many. God of War is one of the most successful video games of all times, mixing the '' beat ' em up'' and the '' action adventure'' genres in just one game. Add to that you even get to see some boobies!!! So for a fun game that offers a challenge, but does not make you rip your hair out give this game a try. My only complaint is the rather short play time and the shortage of boss fights which is a shame, because the ones they do have are very fun. From the giant Minotaur's, to the super scenery, and to the falling people in the hades level everything here looks exceptional. Speaking of awesome, the graphics here are just that. My favorite level though is the hades level as it looks really awesome. You span a few levels as you start with a cool ship scene and also an attack on a city, you also have to go through this strange fortress on top of a giants back. You do cool combos and nifty looking finisher type moves on various mythical creatures. The combat in this game is very fun, simple to do yet it looks very cool. Why is Kratos wanting revenge, well Ares tricked Kratos into killing his own family so there ya go. So you have your double crosses and such. Ares has his own plans as he is trying to take down Aphrodite, she is using Kratos though to take him down. The target for his revenge, Ares the god of war. The story has Kratos as a man hell bent on revenge. Yes, this game was very fun and well worth the 14.99 I paid for it on sale. For everybody else, this is the PS2s best game of 2005, maybe the year's best, and a game franchise to keep your eye on. This isn't a game for kids or the squeamish. There is a lot of violence, blood and gore, and some nudity throughout the game. One word of warning: this game is rated M and it richly deserves it. It can be beaten in 10-12 hours but you'll want to replay it. The voice acting is top-notch with Oscar-winning actress Linda Hunt providing the narration. The music is outstanding perhaps one of the best original scores ever created. Combat features mostly hack and slash but there will be times you'll do specific button presses or Track-And-Field style button mashing against tougher enemies or bosses. The controls are easy to get into and the manual details everything for you. The graphics are some of the best you'll see with much detail on the enemies and the locales. You gain orbs to increase your powers and the Gods themselves bestow you the magic. In this game, you are powerful enough as is to combat your opponents. Combat is a breeze and is very satisfying. Kratos has two attacks, magic, and a jump and a roll/evade move. The game then goes back to three weeks earlier where you control the chain of events that lead to him committing suicide. You are Kratos, a super-human who at the start of the game is seen falling to his death. Jaffe for years had wanted to make a game based on it. This game is noted for its deep use of Greek Mythology. David Jaffe and his team at Sony-Santa Monica have created a game that is better than the Japanese created Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden. God Of War, released on March 22, 2005, is one of the best action games ever released on any console.
