This game is all you would expect from an action adventure, and much more!
The only drawbacks to this game may be that periodically, the puzzles can be overly difficult (you may need to reference help guides to complete a few of t hem) and that you may have to (very rarely) "Restart from last checkpoint" because the music gets stuck in a loop.
Besides these overlookable mishaps, this is a game that pushes the envelope of perfection. GOW2 is a must buy for any action adventure fan that can stomach the gruesome and grotesque battle animations that are so unbelievable, that they are genus.
