The best adventure game to date!
User Rating: 10 | God of War (Greatest Hits) PS2
God of War, is no doubt, one of the best action and adventure games out there, Amazing graphics, with nice lighting and textures, hell, even the background is animated and looks so much as if it is in the game! The Gameplay is just intene fun, with alot of action fighting the enemies, and the puzzles which not only require mind but also brute strength. The best part of the gameplay are teh minigames which you access by clicking O. The minigames show you cool (and gruesome sometimes) ways your character (named Kratos) finishes off the enemies. As mentiones before, you play Kratos, an unmerciful and cruel hero who, in his past, made his mission to kill others, but now, after having his family also slaughtered in his masacres, vows to not kill humans and instead, save them. But he still has horrible nightmares of all his murders and curses, and no matter what he does, they can't go away, despite the gods' promise that they will. He gives up and asks the goddess Athena to finish the nightmares once and for all, she says she will, but he must accomplish one mission, to save Athens from her brother Ares, God of War (on which the name is based on). Now you start your jouney from here, fight through all enemies, and destroy the 2 huge bosses in the way, and prepare for the final fight against Ares. What keeps this game at its best, is the music and sounds, the opera music is by far one of the best music ever seen in a video game and sounds of fighting and screams heats up the adrenaline. There are also some Treasures or bonus things like movies and some of the things which made GoW what it is now. See the ending and beginnings for some of the characters, and even see some of the monsters that were removed from the game!
