God of War II Review



Presentation:
9.5
Graphics: 10
Sound: 9.5
Gameplay: 9.5

Pros: The best graphics yet to be seen on the Playstation 2, often times looks as good/better than *some* Xbox 360 games, incredible controls with dozens of great attacks, amazing "interactive cutscene" sequences feel like you're playing a high-budget action movie, top-knotch CGI cutscenes, tons of unlockables, epic story, and a truly epic score. I had two complaints about the first game: too short and too few of those amazing boss battles, but Sony really went above and beyond with this game and made it roughly twice as long as it's predecessor, and almost quadrupled the amount of boss battles. This game is truly the Playstation 2's swan song, and is without a doubt one of, if not the, greatest action games ever made.

Cons:
Invisible walls, and sometimes cheesy voice acting courtasy of the game's anti-hero, Kratos, cliffhanger ending left me hanging.

Verdict: 9.75/10.0
