A) Dude (Kratos) is a bloodthirsty general sort of guy B) Some dude bests him C) Accepts Ares' help and becomes his warrior of doom on the mortal plain D) Ares kills Kratos' family (or Kratos does with Ares' influence, w/e) E) Kratos stops being stooge, gets Ares. God of War 2 was him being a God, then demoted by Zeus and presumably his ascension back to the top... I never finished God of War 2 because it was a lot worse than the first.

the story really didn't have much at all to do with greek mythology... they just borrowed a few gods and aspects and then created their own story

they don't, they like murderlating enemies and boobsJandurin
I like their stories. Mainly because your playing a very flawed character who is brutal and only cares about his revenge. I don't think there is one instance of him saving anybody. The story is also action packed and full of epic moments. I am not saying the story is super deep but I am an action film lover so it definatly is on par with any summer blockbuster hit in the story department. Besides it's a great alternative to the normal, princess is stolen, alien invasion, WWII stories.

I didn't like the story because it didn't really have a moral in it,and for the guy above,I'm into Greek mythology stuff and that's why I like the GoW series.

It obviously is not in any way accurate to the true mythology but I am a fan of Greek Mythology and just interacting with the characters and seeing their interpretation is enough for me. It's kind of like watching the Disney version of Pocahantas or Hercules.

The story is not finished yet. Wait till GOWIII. Besides this is a summer blockbuster hit kind of story, it's not a fable with a moral. Heck I am into Greek Mythology and most of their morals were, don't mess with the Gods, don't think your better then the Gods, do as your told, or that you are completely helpless and the Gods can manipulate you and your life as they wish. For ME, its kind of gradifying sticking it to these Gods and playing a character who has no fear.

That's funny because I actually preferred the second one. I loved the first but I felt the second one had more character develpment and more interactions with mythological characters. The gameplay was also more varied. You should try and finish it, the story definatly gets better.

I'll try... but I didn't like the gameplay as much :( The story and atmosphere seemed just as good if not better, but for some reason the game felt like it played worse.

Really?? Not sure, for me the gameplay felt for the most part the same as the first but they balanced it out with the Pegessis levels and such. I also liked some of the new weapons. I am looking foward to play all these games all over again this fall.

Story is definitely different from all the other games out there. I don't know if you're missing something, but I thought the story overall was pretty original.

SonyIsh6Fotta

In other words, because people haven't played enough of the games that actually have great stories?
