After the first one, I half expected it to be just as frustrating as the first one was, I was in for a surprise.
It's just enough to make me consider getting the God of War collection for the PS3 in order to get the trophies, but just having those games in your collection is enough to make you want to throw your controller at the screen. It most definitely is frustrating with some of the puzzles that you have to go through in order to move on throughout the game.
It's just the perfect brain twister that spruces up a RPG game so you won't lose interest with all of the button-mashing that you would do through the battles.
