Amazon.co.uk Review:

In a nutshell:
The sleeper hit of 2005 returns with Kratos seeking an escape from his fate as the new god of war. The game’s even more bloody and violent than before as you take on every mythological monster in the book.

The lowdown:
Given the quick turnaround from the first game this isn’t an enormous departure from the original, but that’s no bad thing with a series as accomplished as this. Kratos has a new range of moves, combos and magic to unleash but the biggest changes are in the variety of monsters he has to face. The bigger ones can only be beaten with special button presses, which result in some spectacular finishing moves such as the Cylops whose eye Kratos plucks out of its socket or the cannon fodder zombies he slices in two. One of the best sequences though has Kratos leaping off the back of a Pegasus and onto a Gryphon, whose wings he promptly pulls off before falling to the world below.

Most exciting moment:
Just like the original this game recreates many of the best moments from ancient Greek mythology and movies. One particularly cool sequence involves trying to get a golden fleece that can reflect back the stony gaze of a gorgon.

Since you ask:
Many fans were surprised that this sequel wasn’t on the PS3 but a next generation version is being planned. Original creator David Jaffe isn’t working on either sequel at the moment though, but on an as yet unrevealed PSP project.

The bottom line:
Kratos sticks to what he knows best: the PS2 and ultra violence.

- Fantastic
I'm not a huge gamer, and happened upon this game beause I had a day off work with nothing to do, and got it second hand for a tenner to pass the time. Ever since then I have been hooked, and try to fit as much of it into my day as I can!!

The amount of work that has gone into the level designs is outstanding, visually beautiful, engaging and at times challenging. The graphics are superb, and are the best I have seen on the PS2.

Gamplay is also excellent, and you are thrown into the action as soon as you start. lots of fighting action and puzzles, and a great story line too.

God of War 2 has made me dust down the PS2 and put back into the living room as a pemanent fixture. I will be buying GOW 1 once ... Read More:

- The PS2 Bows Out In Style
God Of War 2 is just as good, if not better than the first. more moves, more magic and more enemies to slice, dice, decapitate etc.. The graphics certainly show that PS2 has some life left in it yet and are truly amazing, one of the best on the console. With God Of War 2, the Ps2 is definetley bowing out in style, and going out with a bang!!!!

- Kratos is back......
Truly the swan song of the PS2. Whether you are a die hard God of War fan or not, this game will arguably meet and surpass any prior expectations. With a rich and intricate plotline, hoardes of grotesque yet beautifully created creatures, immersing gameplay and the backdrop of Greek Mythology, this game will leave you with a sense of joyful frustration as you attempt to complete some of more challenging parts with a sneaky smile on your face as you annihalate the scores of enemies that come at you, in what can be termed as no less than a bloodbath.

This game, revolves around the main character, Kratos', quest for vengence aginst none other than the Top of the Greek Pantheon,Zeus himself. This game chart Kratos' journey to the Sisters ... Read More:

- The PS2's last Hurrah?
This is the sequel to the excellent God of War, and at the start of this sequel, we find Kratos using his new found powers as a God to the extreme. The other Gods are becoming afraid of what he might do, and at the very start of the game, Kratos is reduced to being a mere mortal by Athena.
The initial part of the game sees Kratos being pursued by a huge statue that has been brought to life by the Gods, in an attempt to kill him. From then on, we find out more about Kratos' past, and also the identity of the narrator from the first game. This game deals with Kratos pursuing revenge on Zeus, and in it we are introduced to the Titans - the elder Gods that were defeated and usurped by Zeus.
All the things that made the first game a classic are ... Read More:
