Yesterday, God of War 2 came out. That was the same day I got it. Let me just say that this is unbelievably exciting from start to (I haven't beaten it yet, but I just know it) finish. IF you played and beat the first one, the second one starts right where it ended.
One thing that made God of War so interesting was the awesome story. As hard as it is to believe, the second story is even better. It isn't just good vs. evil. It is all about perspective. (I'm not spoiling the story, but I'll tell you that Zeus is involved) Kratos wants revenge against someone, while that someone believes that Kratos deserved what he got because of his massive slaughter.
Now it is time to mention what is most important. THE GAMEPLAY! It is just awesome. Slaughtering millions of enemies in a cool and brutal fashion has never felt so good. You kill every person brutally no matter what you do. You also get several weapons and powers to add to your already awesome weapon.
The graphics are just plain beautiful. That is all there is to say. Everything from Kratos to vase smashing in the backround is wonderfully detailed. The cutscenes are breath taking. They match the PS3. The sounds are just as good. There is beautiful music in the backround and every character's voice is just right. Their voices perfectly match their character and personality.
The parts where you must press buttons to make Kratos do something coll is back and better than ever. The moves are twice as violent as the first game. There are also more than twice the amount of bosses which means there are more than twice the amount of cool finishers.
This game also couldn't dig into greek mythology any more if they tried.
The only thing I'm really pointing out is that the gameplay hasn't changed much or at all. This isn't really a bad thing though. So I guess I'm saying that this game is perfect.
I'm just going to say this. If you played God of War, I'm not asking you to get this game. I'm not recommending this game to you.
I'M ORDERING YOU TO GET THIS GAME!

God of War II is a visually stunning odessy filled with everyone's favorites of blood, sex, and unadulturated violence. The game designers really pushed what the PS2 can do, which makes you wonder what they'll do when the sequel comes out for PS3. Excellent voice acting and beautiful landscapes makes the linear level setup barely noticable. While the actual area you have to roam around in isn't close to something like Grand Theft Auto, it never feels that way. You always feel like your in a huge area. With a starting boss fight that wouldn't be out of place as an ENDING boss fight for other games, God of War II pushes . . . no slices through every boundary it can.
