ony's God of War is a near perfect blend of combo-based twitch action and adventure puzzle solving. The fluid combat system uses a mix of weapon and magic attacks that can elevate your combo meter into triple digits. Varied puzzles and gameplay styles keep the adventure fresh from start to finish. Combine these elements with a Greek mythology revenge tale. Prepare to battle minotaur, encounter the hydra, enter the Underworld, and rip the head off Medusa. God of War doesn't disappoint.

Guide Kratos through sea, city, desert, and fire to his showdown against Ares, the God of War. The gods of Olympus have enlisted Kratos' aid in stopping Ares from destroying Athens. To do so, Kratos must accomplish what many have failed: find and recover Pandora's box. The journey will remind Kratos of past victories, past failures, and a regrettable relationship with Ares.

GameSpot's Game Guide to God of War includes combat strategies for surviving the beasts of the ancient world, tips for using Kratos' weapons and magic abilities, tactics to conquer boss encounters, details on extra costumes and secret messages, and a complete walk-through of the game.
