If you don't know why the GOW series is amazing, then you must never have played any of it. You can get this special edition of GOW 2 so cheap now, there's seriously no reason not to try it. Incredible 3D puzzle platformer combined with one on one combo based fighting. Incredible art/concept design featuring buckets of blood and guts.

God of War II is a well crafted game. There's more weapons than the first game and new magic attacks. Two additional weapons to use during the game. Upgradeable. The action is pretty cool too. I wouldn't say that this one is as good as the first but is still worth buying. It has better replay value than the first. Theres more to do after you beat the game. Graphics are still very cool for PS2's time. Overall it's a good game. Story wise, I don't want to give away much but it does leave open for a third game, which is already in development. The story is pretty good and when you get to the end, you realize that the Third installment is gonna be very action filled. They improved on things like the fighting. The new magic is really cool. They kept the Medusas head and one of the lightning attacks but Atlas Quake and Cronos Rage is awesome addition. Especially when maxed. Reminded me of Fable when using them, frying multiple enemies at once or thundering giant boulders at them. The cutscene fights were improved too. The things Kratos does with just two blades is amazing. The only downside that I find to this game is needs more change. It was more similar to playing the first game. Almost like an expansion other than an entirely new game. Some of the puzzles in the game are easily solved from having to face them in the first game. But don't worry, there's plenty of button smashing. Can't wait for the Third.Read full review
I’ve never played this game but I always wanting too but being underage when the PlayStation 2 was still popular I couldn’t play it but now I’m 26 I’m finally able to play it and finally experience it for my own 💜 and it’s going to looks great with the rest of my collection as well 😎👌🏽

This game shows off what the PS2 is capable of and one of the few franchises that are entirely exclusive to the PlayStation. Do yourself a favour, play this over component video. Game play opinions are entirely personal preference but in my own, it's quite a lot of fun.

If you played the first GOW, you know how the game is played, if not, i recommend to play the first GOW so you can at least learn the story line and follow along in this one. the graphics are very good and the game play is sweeter than the first one. similar controls but, better. the main differences from the first one is the boss battles or mini boss battles, there are more than the first one... like 3-5 times more, which is great because you need to think more on how to defeat them other than just square, square square. the next thing is the weapons/magic you obtain. there is the lightening from the first one carries to this game but instead of one AOE (area of effect) attack you start out with only targeting 3 enemies at once, then 5ish at level 2, then big AOE attack once maxed. in the first one you got the huge sword (man that was one sweet sword...), in GOW2, you obtain 3 new weapons other then your blades you get a hammer, a spear and a sword. another sweet feature about this game is after you have beaten the game (took me 16:30 game hrs) are the bonus features. just like the first one...you get costumes which give you special abilities on the next game play. in GOW2 you get 2-3 costumes when beating the game, and you need to collect the cyclops eyes to obtain another costume and need to do other things to unlock all 7 of them. but you only get to use these in the "hardness" you beat it on and easier. (i.e. i beat it on normal and only able to use costumes and bonus stats on normal and easy). there are other items you can collect along the way like the magic urns which give you special bonus stats when re-playing the game (same deal with costumes). there is so much stuff i can tell you about this game, but if you liked the first GOW, you will LOVE GOW2, hands down. more enemies, more weapons, more and different magic skills, and yes, there is a "girl" scene just like in the first one (but you have to find it, hint hint first level above the water). this game is one of the best games for PS2 and may be one of the last, i can't wait if/when they make a GOW3 for PS3. the extra DVD is worth watching, a lot of behind the scenes and you get to meet the voice actors GET THIS GAME!Read full review
