a5c7b9f00b After 10 years of endless nightmares and servitude to the gods of Olympus, Kratos is assigned with a final task, to kill Ares, the God Of War. God of War follows Kratos: a soldier whose fate is intertwined with Ares, the Greek Mythological God of War. After 10 years of endless suffering and nightmares, Kratos must perform one final task to be free of his torment: kill Ares and become the greatest warrior in all of Sparta. I&#39;d give this game a 10/10 easy..<br/><br/>Presentation: The story, though an old one, shines in the way it is told..it truly makes you want to slaughter the God of War..<br/><br/>Graphics: I&#39;m not the greatest at noticing &#39;supperior&#39; graphics..however I must say the game looks great and the art style/presentation is very well done. The cinematics are fun to watch and the &#39;feel&#39; of the game is exciting through and through.<br/><br/>Sound: The single most notable aspect of the game (in mine and many others opinions) is the sounds that create its atmosphere. The music and voice acting were so good that I was compelled to download the soundtrack. I&#39;ve also immitated the scenes, incorporating the quotes into my daily conversations for laughs. Good stuff.<br/><br/>Gameplay: I&#39;ve played DMC3 and all the &#39;new&#39; Prince of Persia games and must say that neither comes close in drawing my attention like God of War did. The puzzles were MUCH better than I thought they would be. The Boss fights are the best I&#39;ve ever encountered (and the most fun)on a action-adventure game although a bit easy (even on God Mode). The Challenge of the Gods offered more tilt value to the game, though through means of utter frustration in Challenge 8 and 10 (still enjoyable if you&#39;re a glutton for punishment). The bonus features are cool all round (especially the video features..that had there work cut out for them). Kratos was a FREAK..the Blades of Chaos were well done, though Artemis could have used some fine tuning (plus the small detail that the nature of the fighting mechanic in easier difficulties seems so incredibly &quot;hack n&#39; slash&quot;). Underwater and in air fighting mechanics plus a few more bosses would have been excellent (I understand however that time ran out and they needed to see some money or risk losing everything). The &#39;fatalities&#39; are my favorite aspect of this game without a doubt. They throw no punchs and I love that. It makes killing your enemies SO much more satisfying then them slowly fading away or simply bursting into mist…..<br/><br/>~I&#39;ve played this game more than 24 times..14 on God Mode..this game is well worth the price of purchase in my book..however..if you have a problem with short games you should just rent it..if you think it&#39;s too easy..play God Mode *that&#39;s were the fun&#39;s at!!!* God Of War, released on March 22, 2005, is one of the best action games ever released on any console. 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.<br/><br/>This game is noted for its deep use of Greek Mythology. Mr. Jaffe for years had wanted to make a game based on it. You are Kratos, a super-human who at the start of the game is seen falling to his death. The game then goes back to three weeks earlier where you control the chain of events that lead to him committing suicide.<br/><br/>Kratos has two attacks, magic, and a jump and a roll/evade move. Combat is a breeze and is very satisfying. In this game, you are powerful enoughis to combat your opponents. You gain orbs to increase your powers and the Gods themselves bestow you the magic.<br/><br/>The game is an absolute work of art. The graphics are some of the best you&#39;ll see with much detail on the enemies and the locales. The controls are easy to get into and the manual details everything for you. Combat features mostly hack and slash but there will be times you&#39;ll do specific button presses or Track-And-Field style button mashing against tougher enemies or bosses.<br/><br/>The music is outstanding; perhaps one of the best original scores ever created. The voice acting is top-notch with Oscar-winning actress Linda Hunt providing the narration. Best of all, the game is just plain fun. You can get into it right away. It can be beaten in 10-12 hours but you&#39;ll want to replay it.<br/><br/>One word of warning: this game is rated M and it richly deserves it. There is a lot of violence, blood and gore, and some nudity throughout the game. This isn&#39;t a game for kids or the squeamish. For everybody else, this is the PS2s best game of 2005, maybe the year&#39;s best, and a game franchise to keep your eye on.
