Seriously...pounding on a button to kill bosses is pedantic and ridiculous. I went back and bought this game on a whim and regret every minute of it. The idea that you have to sit and pound on buttons to kill bosses in this game ruins the great story and cool combat that otherwise would have made a solid action game. People look at this game as some kind of holy grail but I canceled my pre-order for GOW 3 after playing both of these sad excuses for action games. RENT this collection first, even if its only 30 bucks...it is cheap and boring.
I was one of the few who never picked up God of War and missed out on a much hyped game (and then the sequel). When I first got the game I played both just to check out the gameplay and graphics. I am impressed with not only the gameplay but also the graphical improvements that make it very playable on my 52 inch screen. The games themselves are not for everyone as they are rated M (blood some cartoon nudity) but they are innovative in many respects and well worth owning.
The bottom line is you get two great games with hours of gameplay that will leave you wanting to purchase the third installment which will inevitably look great on the PS3 blue ray system. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an action title on the PS3.
While God of War III will be the prettiest yet by leaps and bounds, this compilation is pretty sweet. Enhanced HD graphics, although you can still tell their PS2 games, but that's part of the charm. I recommend this for anyone with a PS3 and, like me, a God of War obsession. From most gaming board posts, it might freeze once in a blue moon, but it's worth the time. A definite must have!!
"Love this game. It was exactly what i was hoping it would be. Also, the shipping was soooo fast, thank you."
"This is a great series and was great to play the 1st two prior to the third."
