Discover the greatest PStwo game

God of War 2 for the PS2 is an third person adventure console game that has won awards for its brilliance. The massive seller God Of War I console game was voted as a classic masterpiece, by all counts, and yet the sequel has improved it and has become a must-have game on PS2.

God of War 2 puts you within Greek legend where you play the brutal and bad tempered Kratos, who has just been enthroned as the new god of war (continuing the original storyline). Still unsatisfied, The sheer might of Kratos' forces have crushed everything in their way which (along with his general disrespectful attitude) has upset Olympus' King, resulting removal of his powers and exiled to Hades.

From Hades travel long distances to reach the lost temple of the Sisters of Fate, to begin acquiring the help of Zeus' old adversaries the Titans, and get your revenge. The console game is brilliantly paced, giving you seemingly endless areas to explore with awesome atmosphere and believability. To achieve your goal, you'll have to battle some fearless creatures (including all of the famous names from the history books), solve many puzzles, fight your way past seemingly unbeatable boss characters, and show (once again) that you're the most brutal being ever created.

God of War 2 is very much a fighting game at heart and gives you more weapons, magic and combos to learn than you would ever have even dreamed of in the first title. While God of War 1 only gave you a single weapon, God of War II gives you lots more, all of which can be improved over time with attack force and secret attacks and features. There are lots of different styles of fighting, with enough variety to keep you on the edge. Even after finishing it, there is still much to do – you can store your bonuses for the 2nd time around, giving you a different choice when facing enemies the second time around.
