God of War

Strengths: Every aspect of the game is a strength. From the graphics to the story to the mini-games. This is the best game of the year and might be the best for sometime.

Weakness: There are none to this masterpiece.

Story is the best I have seen so far in a game. Starting from him committing suicide and then explaining why he did it. The graphic are great. The controls are easy to learn and use and the combos don't take much button mashing. The characters are formed greatly. An all around perfect game.

God of War Rocks

Strengths: Nice graphics, great game play,

Weakness: Can't think of anything bad to say about this game

This is one of the only games to capture my attention long enough for me to actually complete the game. That means it never got too monotinous and it never got too dificult. I did reference a walkthru twice while playing the game, but I'm sure I could've figured those two parts out myself.

THE BEST THIS YEAR IF NOT EVER

Strengths: THIS GAME IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED FOR THE PS2.

God of War

Greek tragedy is rife with tales of gifts from the gods corrupted by the desires of man for more, or gifts that were corrupted by the gods for their own amusement. Caught in this purgatory of desire and power granted for devious entertainment purposes is a Spartan known as Kratos. Once a commanding officer of...

God of War (ps2)

The gods of Olympus believe their brother Ares to be insane, but they are commanded to take no action against him. The contemptuous Lord of War's siblings are bound by their father Zeus' law to not clash with one another directly. Do not usurp the given throne of a god, said the master of thunder upon heaven's highest seat. Take no action even if he ravages your patron cities.
