The second part in the God of War trilogy. A great
game with tons of bonus features. Can be played in
HD (must be unlocked) which makes it look
even better.
Blood, guts, and extreme violence are at the
heart of this
game. The protagonist, Kratos, has some sick swords which were chained to his arms as a result of his deal with
Ares (In God of War
1). These are versatile weapons, and the combat system is great. There are several unlockable weapons, each with separate strengths/weaknesses and styles.
The
game follows this basic plot line: Kratos, a son of Zeus, wants to be the god of war. He goes through some trials, tribulations, and kills some bosses. Eventually he confronts
Ares and defeats him, becoming the god of war. He then becomes the god of Sparta, and hence the Ghost of Sparta. He appears at the siege of Rhodes to make the final
blow and conquer the city for Sparta. Zeus, however, betrays him and takes his godly powers. Kratos must then regain his powers, while killing everything that moves along the way. At the end of his quest, Kratos faces Zeus so that he
may become a god again. The story ends in the third part of the trilogy, which has yet to announce a release date.
