I have been ruined!!

Ever since I completed GOW and GOW II, I have been ruined!  I have bought six RPG and Action games for the PS2 since then and they all PALE in comparision.  Such titles as Castlevania, Onimusha, and Syphon Filter all left me very disappointed.  I played these games for five minutes and instantly became bored. 

I need help!- can anyone suggest a game that comes close to the gameplay of a GOW???

The only decent games that are similar are POP series and DMCgarter_windwood

PoP is an amazing series of games.  I've played them sooooo many times over!  The most of God of War experience would have to be Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.  That one has soooo much gore and a heavy use of the overhauled combat system. 

Seems like you have a clasic case of PKA... Post Kratos Anxiety.

Caracterized by, restlessnes while attempting to play other titiles, Impending sense of boredom. Patients will usualy openly and sometimes without prior stimulus will constantly state GOW is the best game ever, In extreme cases have been known to  deteriorate into a KRATONIAN PSYCHOSIS which triggers acute violence and intese rage at the very sight of POTTERY and wooden crates.

Diagnosis is further confirmed by the presence of  one  or more of the following  signs and symptoms Swolen thumbs. Paraphenilia like. Broken controllers as if smashed into the wall.  Acute violent outburst. Shouting at the TV. and vociferating phrases like DAMN HARPIE thats the 20th time it kills me!!!!

There is no known cure and treatment is largely palliative and support based,

some schools have offered alternative therapy based on substitution but short term results are not entirely satisfactory while others prefer continued exposure and progressive dificulty until tollerance builds, Side efects proved to be disaterous after a series of patients in one study were found in a catatonic persisten state.

One hypothesis states that experimental treatment using a portable system might partialy aliviate symptoms although there is a risk of developing PSP PKA...

LOL...YOU MUST HAVE BEEN WATCHING ME PLAY GOW!  2 broken controllers and millions of curse words spoken!!

good one.

Lets see.....

Resident Evil 4

Prince of Persia series

Ratchet and Clank series

Jak and Daxter series.

If you have not played them yet, I suggest you do so  

if your like me, you'll be disapointed in Prince of Persia, that game seems so intent on making you jump and run in any ways possible, but in the end, running and jumping, its boring

as for dmc i still dont see whats great there, i only played the 3rd one, and its nothing out of the ordinary, and the main character is truly obnoxious 

I suffered from the same problem as you when I finished. A got way to get of the hook is to

a) Repeatedly beat the game until it's boring

b) Find another Uber violent game to make up your lost gore factor

c) Then get something u found really awesome before GOW and play that

And those are 3 easy steps to cure your psychosis of GOW

THANK YOU ..I hated him too, i prob would have liked the game more had his attitude been different......WOOO (surfs up)  bla bla bla

nossa fechei gow2 e enjooei

aaaa para de chorar segue a vida 

Play some really really bad games for a week or so. After that, any game with an average score of 5.5 or more will be awesome!

Edit: maybe you can start with Spiderman 3

just got back from Gamestop.  I bought POP- Warrior Within.  I'll let you know what I think.

Thanks goes out to everyone for their suggestions.

It's a good game.  After that, try Shadow of the Colossus... it's one of my favorite PS2 games.

PoP series

DMC series

Ratchet and Clank Series

Jak and Daxter Series

GTA series

Very disappointed in POP Warrior Within.  Here is my rant:

Very dark gameplay- I found it very hard to see where I was going- especially the Crowmaster fights. 

Too easy to die- One wrong jump and you are dead.  What about the reversing time thing???  How does that work?????

Too "Pitfall-ish"- If I wanted to play Pitfall, I would have BOUGHT Pitfall.

The tutorial started out well enough, but I just became frustrated with the whole game. 

Thanks, but it's not for me.
