God of War II may in fact be the best action game ever made. It outdoes the original God of War in every way.

Who says Hell doesn’t exist? In a world where evil is everywhere and the only sign of humanity is being slaughtered (or eaten alive), you don’t have to question Hell’s existence anymore – you’re already living there.

There are a few brilliant core improvements, such as the beautifully implemented grappling system that lets you swing around with your blades. But for the most part, the game's best features are context-specific things rather than features that change or

God of War II is a very big deal for the PS2. In the current-gen console's waning years, it'll probably be the last triple-A, first-party release for the PS2. From here on out it'll all be about the PS3...so you guys better drink up while the tab is

How do you top what many gamers consider the greatest action game of all time? You definitely can't do it with a whimper--for a game as beloved as God of War, you've got to come out with a bang, one that's equivalent to a ton of dynamite sitting atop a

Not many games reach this level of polish and immersion. The brutal action, the fantastic sound and voice work, the incredible cutscenes, and the well-crafted storyline makes for a complete package that rivals any game you’ll find on the shelf.

It adheres very strongly to the concept of, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it," perhaps to the point of excess. It is a well-designed game, with terrific level design and a smooth, excellent combat system, but it also doesn't particularly bring anything

For every video game system there's a piece of software that defines its capabilities. God of War II is that game. It's a thrill ride from beginning to end, and one of those experiences that will cause you to hunker down, turn off your phone, and check

The sense of scale is off the charts. From the opening brawl with the towering Colossus of Rhodes to the Island of Creation—a sprawling mega-level which takes a good half of the game to traverse—God Of War II's venue doesn't feel mortal for even a

Aside from a few frustrating spikes in difficulty and a slower-paced final act, God Of War II is about as perfect an action game as you could ever hope for, and a worthy sequel to one of the PlayStation 2’s crown jewels.

Simply put, it's easily one of the best action adventure games of the last console generation, and it even trumps much of what has been shown in the current generation.

The original God of War was enjoyed by quite a few people. So when the sequel was announced there was much rejoicing, although some would complain as God of War II would be coming to the aged PlayStation 2 and not the shiny and new PlayStation 3. Not

Not only the best action/adventure game ever to grace the Playstation 2, but also one of the most amazing gaming experiences of the entire generation, and one that should not be missed by anyone who can handle the extreme violence and sexual content.

like before, the scoring of the game is brilliant. It has sweeping orchestral tracks and haunting vocals. All of the music ties it together so well and give you a sense of the “epic-ness” that basically no other game has. The sound effects in

If you are like me, 300 left you with the desire to kick ass Spartan style. While a suitable 300 video game doesn’t exist, the follow-up to our 2004 Game of the Year, God of War, is a more than a fitting substitute.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360. However, none of these three systems have provided me with a gaming experience as satisfying as the PS2's God of War II. It's an awe-inspiring masterpiece that serves as an amazing swan

It doesn’t reinvent the wheel but for some 12 hours we’re seeing tighter, nimbler combat, fantastic level designs, and great gameplay. GOW II is undoubtedly better than its prequel and ultimately one of the best games on any last generation console.
