badass game and revolutionary for hack and slash

User Rating: 9.6 | God of War (Greatest Hits) PS2
Gameplay: the gameplay in GOW is diverse and rarely gets frustrating. a good mix of platforming, environmental puzzles, and combat with awesome finishing moves. Best of all, there is barely any load time.

Graphics: the graphics are very well done and are not grainy like many other games. the water effects and reflections were done very nicely.

Sound: the music sounded very cinematic and fit the game's theme very nicely. The narrating and voice acting was superb.

value: Its a shame that such a great game had to be so short. it takes 6-8 hours to beat it and its only worth playing about 3 times before it gets old. Beat it once to unlock the goodies, play with cow suit to abuse magic then beat it on god mode. the other costumes arent really worth playing since they just make the game easier. theres no point in playing spartan mode with ares armor when u could just play easy mode with no costume. becuz of this, all the costumes besides cow suit are kinda pointless. basically beating the game 3 times and beating the challenges takes around 24 hours. this is above average for an action game but is really short compared to games in general.

Tilt: i thought this game is just too badass and fun.

Bottom line: this game is revolutionary and badass and is a must-play. its a bit short tho so i hope future GOW games will have some nice features that will add more replay value
