I've never played any God of War games; I've beaten most of the PS3 games so in this interim between now and the big releases, I was wondering if it's worth it to go back and buy God of War. Should I start with the 1st one for sure for storyline purposes or just play one or the other? I checked prices, and God of War is greatest hits now so it's only $20 - should I buy it?

Hell yeah. Buy God Of War 1 first though, it gives you a sense of the atmosphere and prepairs you for the second one. The second is awesome but you need to play the first one in order to fully enjoy the best action gaming has to offer. GoW 1 = $19.99 + GoW 2 = $39.99 = $59.99 = 1 Ps3 game

Go now and buy yourself GOW1&2 ! Trust me you'll do yourself a favour playing these 2 magnificant games. GOW franchise is really amazing, its epic, brutal and totally bad-ass. The game is not for the weak hurted though. Story-wise its really interesting and intrigiuing and you'll never see a character as angry as Kratos. GOW is definitely a story driven game and you wont properly understand GOW3 (coming out in 09) unless you have played the previous 2 games which I'm sure are cheaper to buy now. Saying that you will still thoroughly enjoy the gameplay as any GOW game is guaranteed to be fun and addictive, the combat is superb and intuitive. GOW2 is better then GOW in every area but to undersatand the story you need to get the 1st GOW which is also a thoroughly enjoyable game.

GOW3 will ultimately give the answer on why there are no Greek myths :o

I can't think of a better way to spend $20, Shadow of the Collossus is another greatest hit you should try.

I'll bet anything if you get and beat the 1'st one, you will rush out to buy part 2 first chance you get.

Get them now!! Be warned though that there is nudity. I thought it was rather stupid for them to include the nudity and the sex mini-games but if you can get passed that you will be playing one of the best games available. The story is awesome and the gameplay rocks (if people say it gets repetitive...that's up to you. I didn't notice and I had a blast). Check eBay and Amazon or go to craigslist.

like everyone else has already said, YES! honestly, playing the god of war games is the most fun ive ever had while playing videogames, and yes u should play the first one before the second. not only because its an awesome game, but the story is amazing and you'll want it in order.

You have no idea what you missed...I would definetly say go back and play both of em, but honestly, you won't be able to fully appreciate the games after playing most PS3 titles already...GOW1 & 2 were HUGE when they were released on the PS2....

Yeah back when it came out I pretty much ONLY played RPGs so I missed out. But I don't want to make the same mistake in the PS3 gen, which is why I want to catch up.

P.S. - I bought Uncharted and God of War :)

Well I just started a new game and it's awesome! The only real problem I have with it is maybe the button mashing parts. The first miniboss thing, the huge serpent that comes up in the boat when he catches you in his mouth...I actually died on that part...twice because apparently I don't button mash fast enough or something but the circle counter never worked...Any tips?

It's not how fast you push it, you only have to push it once...at the correct time.

Are you sure? It seems like it wants me to mash it because the faster I would do it the more I'd open his jaw but then he'd just crush me anyways.

Glad to hear about the purchase! When he tries to eat you just mash on the O button as fast as you can. Pretty killer first level huh?

There are points where you have to hit the buttons in the correct timing, and times when you have to push them rapidly, sounds like that part is the latter. You will get used to it very quickly though, it is a major part of the game.
