FIGHTING: The fighting is fast and fun. Enemies range from bats and dogs to king sized mythical monsters. You can gain experience by collecting the red orbs and upgrade any weapon or power you choose. Your primary weapon is called the blades of Chaos is powerful at long and short range and is really fun to use.


It makes it easy to attack in all directions when you are surrounded by enemies.
The movement pattern developed is really good. The ability to roll with the right analog stick makes it easy to evade. Finishing moves are an another aspect of combat. These vary from splitting enemies to splitting them to the ground and pinning down opponents and delivering the final blow. The main Drawback of some of these moves is that the camera automatically switches to one angle and the impact of the moves comes down to the viewer while doing it again and again. The more advanced finishing moves involve pressing the random buttons that are flashed on the screen. This makes the larger beast battles more dynamic and gives a cinematic finish by enabling you to perform sensational attacks specific to each monster.

GAME: The first thing you while playing the game will notice is that, you have no control over the camera. This helps to maintain the game play maintain a cinematic field and keeps your perspective constantly fixed on the most important items.


However the camera sometimes unexpectedly switches over and makes it difficult to navigate and solve puzzles.

STORY: You are a ruthless warier Kratos. You were serving The god of war who helps you defeat your enemies in a battle that you were about to lose and die. In return you serve the God Of War for all your life.

But the evil God tricks you in killing your own family to make you a perfect warier. But you regret that your whole life and seek the other Gods for redemption. Then you are commanded by the Goddess Athena to murder Ares-The God Of War for his ruthlessness. Here, the story becomes interesting as Kratos is not a traditional hero.

He slaughtered hundreds of men in his lifetime and everywhere you go you encounter people who knows your reputation and disrespects you and fear you. An another feature here is that mythical Gods like Hades, Zeus grant you powers that tie into each Gods' mythology. The story is slowly and interestingly revealed and it is in a top to bottom fashion. Unexpected twists and turns are plenty.

Graphics and Animation: The graphics in God Of War is soo cool and sharp that you will forget that you are playing a PS2. The animation is realistic with a lots of physics and scenic backgrounds. Most places are huge and enormous but takes less time to navigate. The land scape helps in the puzzles.


The solutions often involve operating heavy machinery and destroying huge artifacts. Certain puzzles are time based which must be completed within a specific time period. The enemies who come are random and sudden but the diversity of the monsters who fight is less comparatively as it makes the slashing a repetitive one in some places.

God Of War is extremely graphic. It has nudity and a LoTs of BlOoD. However the extreme nature of Kratos are well grounded in the story and justifies the choices he makes through out his quest. It has a look and feel of a real block buster from start to finish.


With its mighty challenge of the near impossible task for a mortal to kill an evil God, the game will keep you gripping your joystick till the end.
