God of War II is one of the best games I've played in recent memory. The gameplay, graphics, story, challenge, and cinematic feel are simply unmatched by anything I've played on the PS2 so far. It's a difficult game to stop playing!

 While I don't have the cash to make the purchase right now (it was a free rental), I will definitely be doing so in the near future. It's a great game you must pick up (or at least try) if you haven't already.
