According to the other 6 or so threads on this topic, not really. I think IGN did a GoW1&2 in 5 minutes though, if you want a brief but informative version of the general story.

I think it's a shame that you would skip GoW 2 just to play GoW3. Play them all.

I've played god of war quite briefly, but I recommend to play all 3 of them in the right order

Seeing as GOW3 begins exactly where GOW2 ends, you might be a tad bit confused :?

You don't have to, but why would you skip it? 2 is just as good as the other 2. Some argue it's even the strongest title in the trilogy. I say play 2. It will make 3 feel even more epic.

I went from 1 to 3 myself and it is a huge leap. It's overwhelming at times but you are forced to learn quick. It's an amazing game though.

playing gow2 would help with the story. but u should play it regardless. it could easily be argued that #2 is the best of the series

You can go to wikipedia and read the story there, but it's really a shame to skip GOW2; it's an awesome game.

I would personally recommend playing it, GoW 2 is yet another excellent game and will make 3 seem even better since you'll really understand why he's even more pissed off!

I would honestly argue that God of War 2 is the best in the trilogy. It really is a masterpiece with a bunch of Holy $h%t moments. No question in my mind that it is the best game of the PS2 era.
