This thread must have been made thousands of times before, but here it is again anyway.

So which God of War game is the best according to you? GoW II and GoS for me.

3, my 2010 GOTY. I haven't beat 1 and 2 in years, and CoO is amazingly fun, GoS I've never played...

First one was amazing, the second one blew me away. The best possible swan song for the PS2

My favourite is GoW 2, beautiful for a PS2 game and it's very fun, the boss fights are fantastic too. I'm yet to play GoW 3.

No, it IS the worst, seriously. Not saying it's bad, it's still pretty awesome. Just not as good as 1 and 2.

I thought they were all amazing, but 3 is still my fave. Also because I love all the making of footage they put on the disc. I think I've watched that stuff like 10 times over.

I'm kind of immune to nostalgia, so whenever I play prequels from ages ago they just seem outdated and the initial enjoyment that I had cannot be duplicated, so 3 is the best to me right now. It's just smoother and more polished, I don't really care about the back story in these games.

Being "immune to nostalgia" isn't what makes you think things are "outdated."

Without rose colored glasses old hits do tend to seem outdated to me, and this Isnt uncommon either.

God of War 2. That isn't nostalgia speaking either, I played all three consecutively over about four days when I bought the collection + 3 with my PS3. God of War 3, while looking amazing & having some cool set pieces, felt a lot less varied than GoW 2 & felt like a small step back, despite improving in other areas.

I'd say it is rose-tinted glasses that prevents people from playing older games due to them thinking its "outdated." Truly great and enjoyable games are timeless, regardless of the technology behind them. Its why I can still enjoy games like Metal Gear Solid and Syphon Filter 10+ years later despite them being "outdated" by modern standards. The gameplay, story and the level of build quality negates any issue with "dated graphics" anyone not wearing rose-tinted graphics-glasses might have.

I'm sure he is. I agree with him. God of War 3 was the worst in the series. Gameplay wise (and obviously technically), it is the best the series has to offer but in the other departments, it is a hell of a failure.

Oh, and God of War 2 is my personal favorite. Great boss fights, excellent pacing and great music . It made me hyped for the sequel immediately upon completion. Sadly, God of War 3 started going downhill after Hades... :( (Though, Kronos and the Hercules fights were great).

For me 3 really dropped the ball. Why is the first battle arguable the most epic? And the ending? I don't care about what Greek mythology says, ending one of the most hardcore stories the way they did was just weak :P. I'm going with 2.

I haven't played the PSP games... but I'm torn between GoW2, and GowIII. The first one loses automatically for the end boss battle. God damn clones. :P

GoW2 I think. While GoW1 had a better story, GoW2 had better gameplay, pacing, graphics...u know, the things that matter the most :P As for GoW3, it was a fantastic game, but I do believe that GoW2 is the best. The PSP incarnations are also fantastic games that can hold a candle to their console brethren.

I don't particularly like the God of War games, but I have to admit, God of War III managed to hook and addict me like very few games last year, so that gets my vote :)

No, it IS the worst, seriously. Not saying it's bad, it's still pretty awesome. Just not as good as 1 and 2.

The first was incredible.

The second was amazing (story,gameplay,characters,and the epic boss fights).

The third was OK.

The second was my favorite.

The first one kept me mildly entertained for a bit. The game was good enough to see it through to completion even though the combat was very disappointing.... tried 2 and 3 and got bored way too fast and never bothered with the handheld games.

God of War ... for a lot of reasons
