If you thought Kratos was ticked off before, you ain't seen nothing yet in this Playstation 2 brutal gore-fest classic.
But the problem is, he's no longer a god, so now he must journey to confront the Sisters of Fate and trust me, you'll have fun doing it. The combat system believe it or not, is vastly improved from the first game, new magic attacks, more sub-weapons(This time you can change weapons even during battle!), and expanded combo system with the addition of a Rage mode will make all other action games run home with their tails between their legs.
The visuals have recieved a face-lift as well, temples and outdoor environments give off a cinematic flair even in-game. The cinematics are a testament to the development team's skill and dedication. The music score and voice-acting like everything else about the game, is of top notch quality. The story, while not as strong as in the first game still goes well with the game. The camera is once again game controlled but like the last game gives a dramatic and cinematic view to the action. The controls, oh the controls, are flawless, there is no way you can die in this game because of the controls, if you do, its your own fault.
The only knock I have with the game is that its a bit on the short side, I beat the single player campaign a little over six hours. But thanks to the unlockables and challenges you can get after you beat the storyline, the game will encourage to back and play it through multiple times. You can even start the game and play the storyline with all your spells and sub-weapons intact in Bonus Play.
God of War 2 contains everything I would want in an action game, perfect visuals, memorable music score and perfect controls. I can guarantee you'll feel like a true tough guy by the time this game is over. Buy this if you don't already own it.
