Intense, engaging and over the top, the PlayStation 2's swan song is as nearly perfect as they come.

User Rating: 10 | God of War II PS2
By seaward12 | Review Date:
God of War II may in fact be the best action game ever made. It outdoes the original God of War in every way, even if only by a tiny bit as the first was so good to begin with. It's an evolutionary step rather than a revolutionary leap, but it has basically perfected the formula that the original set up. If you own a PlayStation 2 and don't mind excessive amounts of blood, you absolutely must play this game. If you don't own a PS2, find someone who does and sit yourself down in front of their TV for 12 or so hours as you'll otherwise be missing out on one of gaming's most intense and engaging experiences available.


Presentaion: A fantastic story with great voice acting, tons of extras and unlockables and more 9.5/10

Graphics: It simply does not get any better.10/10

Sound: God of War's score was flawless, and the sequel is a perfect follow-up. Oscar worthy to be sure.10/10

Gameplay: It's more of the same, but that's exactly what we wanted. Can action gaming actually get too much better on next-gen systems? 9.5/10

Lasting Appeal: A dozen or so hours on your first time through is reasonable, but going back at the higher levels and finding all the extra goodies will take you a long, long time. Tons of bonus modes too. 9/10

Overall: 10/10

My Verdict: BUY IT!...NOW
