One of the best of 2005
God of War was a big surprise when it was first shown at E3 2004. With slick graphics, amazing combat system, and great music the game had a lot of potential. It was finally released and I'm happy to say it lived up to the expectations. God of War is an amazing action game. Not since Ninja Gaiden (XB) has a game been as difficult but at the same time, much fun to play. The graphics are great and there's barely any slow-down. For a PS2 title is easily one of the best looking ones out there. The music is epic and really fits the mood well. The controls are spot on and every move becomes second nature after awhile. The difficult is harsh but that's part of it's charm. The only complaints I have about the game is the camera that at times you wish you could move it around a bit,. Definitely a must buy, especially now that it's only 19.99, and be on the lookout for God of War 2 when it's released early 2007!
