Review: I had the pleasure of importing God of War from the US. What can I say? At Gamerankings(collection of all notable reviews) it's in the top 10 games of all time. And that is rightfully so! This is for me, the best action-adventure game that has ever been created. It's in the same genre as Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden though with the element of adventuring being a large part of it(and much more polish). Everything about this game is top quality. Every single thing.
The graphics are the absolute best seen on the PS2, the music is awe-inspiring, the gameplay brilliant beyond words, the plot and setting awe inspiring. To top it of, this game has the best extras and unlockables since...ever. I have played the game twice over now, once on normal and once in Spartan(hard). You play the haunted Spartan warrior Kratos, a servant of the gods. A utterly brutal anti-hero which you will come to sympatiche during the course of the game. It's an intruiging tale indeed. The gameplay revolves around puzzle-solving, adventuring, but most of all, fighting of alot of bad-guys and monsters which could go toe to toe with anything seen in the Lord of the rings. Bosses that fill more than the screen, twice as tall as mountains. Cyclops who shakes the earth. Minotaurs which makes your 5.1 system fall apart.
Nothing beats the excitement of seeing a huge monster come crushing through a horde of bad guys just to get to you first. All that with a utter class act of orcesteral music pumping and blood flowing everywere. Possibly the most cinematic game yet released and I give my absolute highest praise. If I could get one PS2 game this would be it. |
