OK... God of War is a game from sony and the first of this company in this genre. This game is a fantastic adventure and action game by all means. Kratos, the main character and previously a spartan warrior has done alliance with the Grecian god, the god of war, Ares to save his life when he stood before his death after a defeat of his army, against the barbarian army. God of war saved his life and granted him a great power, but the price was high, Kratos has done terrible things after his act, and want that the gods of Olympus will forgive him.

The story begins three weeks before his suicide and doing his way to kill the god of war so as to the gods will forgive his goings on. Along the story Athena will guide you through your way to Ares and will be your instructor in the stages. Through the game you will face a lots of creatures, boss, puzzles and much more. The combat system is really good and the fighting is running great. There is a lot of combos, spacial abilities and two weapons that you will get in the way of the game, and you will improve the abilities and the weapons with red orbs that you take from defeating creatures, and taking chests. Chests are hidden everywhere in the game so watch out, or use gamespot's game guide. The overall graphics in the game is astounding and the environments are stunning, the graphics is just PERFECT! In this game you can't change the camera angles but this is nothing, the camera angles that sony set is contributing to the experience of the game and its quality. The sounds in this game are excellent and suiting the game just marvellously. The gameplay is almost perfect I think something little is missing but don't get me wrong, the gameplay is awesome. The story is addictive and there is a lot of blood, especially in the video sections that is along the game. OK I have finished my review, honestly, nothing more to say, this game is giving a new meaning to this genre, the one thing that is bad is that the game is short. I hope that in the future a continue game will be released or at least a good game like this. Hope you enjoyed my review.
