This game is definetly an upgrade from the first two god of wars. I think this game is more wide open, the levels are more of a challenge to figure out as opposed to the first two god of wars, where the levels were an introduction to what was coming up in future god of wars. And, they did it with this game, i give this game 10 out of 10 stars, because this game has definetly given the PS2 and PS3 consoles a whole new meaning of gaming.
If I was to sit here and really explain in detail how the first two God Of Wars really connect with each other I'll be here all night. But, i wont bore you with details, but what i will tell you is if you havent played either of the God Of Wars for your PS2 then what are you waiting for.. get in your car and drive to your local video game store and buy the first two copies of the God Of War games and get ready for Kratos' unbelieveable journey from the vast mountainous terrains to the Greecian Desert to the deepest darkest pits of Hades. Oh, one more thing you just might want to do me a small favor and get ready for some mind blowing bosses and monsters that will have the hairs on your neck and arms stand straight up on end.. just thought i let you know that bit of info..
Anyway, getting back to the God of War games.. when i first played God Of War the game itself to me was complex and easy to manuveur, but when it came to figuring out the puzzles i was lost.. but thank god i studied Greek History in high school and college.. otherwise if i hadnt then i probably be still playing the first God Of War. But, if your a hardcore fan of Greek History then this the game for you, hey who knows maybe these games will help you past that Greek History exam you have to take.
Here's a brief detail of the God Of War Games:
1.) God Of War1- The game starts out with a cut scene explaining how Kratos was the youngest Commander of his Sparta Army. After that, it jumps to a scene where Kratos is about to get an ax driven through his skull, when he summons Ares from Mount Olympus, to defend his enemies and in return offers his soul to the murderous God Of War. In the meantime Kratos betrays his own Spartan Army to command his new Lord's Army. While Kratos was worshipping Ares, Kratos goes on a killing spree that involves innocent Greek Villagers, his humanity robbed, everything he had ever known was taken away from him. In his path of destruction his wife and young daughter were killed. Realizing what he has done Kratos is cursed by the Village Oracle to wear the ashes of his dead wife and daughter for all eternity. After this, he betrays Ares and ventures to destroy the God Of War with the help of Athena the Goddess of Knowledge and Intellect, she helps Kratos to find the one historical artifact that no man has not been able to claim Pandora's Box.
2.) God Of War2- The opening scene in this game is rather intense because Kratos is trying to explain to Athena that he no longer needs the help of the Gods who promised to rid him of his torment. But, Athena feels Kratos will abuse his new powers and everyone in Sparta will succumb to his destruction as the new God Of War. After he decends down from Mount Olympus to aid his Sparta Army in battle, he then in turns betrays Athena and she strips Kratos of his new powers, bringing him to a mere mortal, after he defeats his own Sparta Army, Kratos looks towards the Palace of the gods and sees the Blade of Olympus, the same blade that defeated the Titans during the Great War. Once he retrieves the blade, he must destroy Colloseus a pure gold statue that overlooks the Greecian Sea, after he defeats the statue, Kratos, who is battered and bloodied by the statue, once he nears the Blade a cut scene comes up where Kratos tries to defeat Zeus, but the God of Lightning is too strong for the battered and beaten Kratos who is later stabbed by Zeus and sent to the darkest pits of Hades. Before Kratos descends out of the pits of Hades, he talks to Gaia ever present mother earth, during their cutscene Gaia tells Kratos that he is no coward and that only a coward excepts defeat. After kratos tells Gaia that he is no coward, she heals his stomach wound and he prepares to escape the pits of Hades. While on his journey to find the Sisters of Fate, Gaia warns Kratos that he is no longer the God of War and that he must retrieve the very blade that holds his powers. Towards the end of the game Kratos must find the right string to find out why Zeus betrayed him.
3.) God Of War The Chains Of Olympus- After two decades Kratos the once Commander of a Sparta Army, is still plagued and haunted by nightmares of his trecherous past. This game leads Kratos to new journies to reclaim the life he once had. After, he defeats Zeus, Kratos is still figuring out what is keepin him from being the man he once was. In the first God Of War, Kratos' humanity was robbed, his life was stollen, his family was caught in his path of destruction, his Army turned against him, everything he once knew was completly erased. Now, he is on a quest to reclaim all that was taken from him. When, the trailer for this new God Of War comes out i will post it on my game playlist.
