I never played the originals on the ps2, but i do have GOW collection for ps3, i finished part 1 and am about 2 hours into part 2..now with all the games i have to finish like heavy rain..is it really worth it to finish GOW2? I have GOW 3 here in my hands and dont know if i should just go watch how part 2 ends or go thru it myself.....

thoughts?

I wouldn't worry about it. There IS a continuous story to the series, but it's not like you're watching Lost or anything. The game is all about kick-ass boss battles and pulling limbs off. You won't miss anything if you jump ahead.

Well the 3rd game literally starts right where the 2nd one leaves off so if you have any interest in the story whatsoever its probably best to finish the 2nd game first.

I'm in the same boat. I'm worried that by the time i've finished GOW II I will be sick of it and wont have as much desire to play GOW III.

I've got so many games I need to finish it's ridiculous. I wish game companies would stop briniging out so many cool games!

Finish GOW II. As much as I love GOW III. there is still something about GOW II that makes it so spectacular. That being said....if you aren't having fun with it then there is no reason to complete it. That also being said, if you arent having fun with GOW II, then GOW III will be no better.

I haven't played any of the GoW games yet, but I would still say yes. I plan on getting the GoW Collection and GoW3 down the road.

Too anyone who's looking to just jump right into three, the game's story really lacks it's allure if you didn't personally experience it.

um yeah i dont get why people do this just because the 2nd one isnt new anymore doesnt mean it sucks, for example my friend wants to borrow uncharted 2 from me but i told him ill let him borrow the first one first but hes says the first one sucks even though hes never played it.

I'll go ahead and agree with the majority here. You should finish GoW2. Its a really really good game man. Obviously, its graphics arent as good as #3, but the gameplay is just as fun and its very epic. I just finished #2 myself, but it was on the PS2, so you are lucky to have that nice HD version.

I highly, highly recommend that anyone who plans on playing GOW3 should play through GOW 1 & 2 completely prior to play it.

I dont think it really matter all that much. The stories are great, but GOW is not famous for it's super deep story telling. Play GOW 3 and go back. No worries really

I did, i finished the game a day before GoW3 came out... my god it was worth it !! You need to see AT LEAST the story from GoW 1 and 2 (youtube)
