They each have their benefits..advantages of each other:

GoW1:

-Lots of interesting exploits/glitches (High Jump, Hermes Roll, Homeruns, etc.)

-Some would say the bosses were more impressive

-Poseidon's Rage is MOAR Awesome here

-More secret messages

-Better cinematic presentation of the story

-Better music

-slightly easier *if that's your thing*

-moves for the blases work together better *more fluid*

GoWII:

-Urns

-Arena of the Fates

-Multiple Sub-Weapons and faster switching

-Bonus Play!!

-More bosses

-Rage improvements

-Challenge presentation improvements

-slight graphical updgrade

-puzzles are slightly less bothersome

-Relics

~GoW1 is well worth the buy..especially being that the price is much lower then it was when I got it *release*

IN SHORT: Has costumes, no Urns, no Arena, has 10 Challenges, better extras, less options, no Bonus Play, more secets, exploits, glitches, etc. , not as hard and bosses - only 3 - are for the most part superior

The graphics of GoWII are just barely better. GoW1 was a powerhouse. GameSpot has many pictures to review. Check them out for yourself as they are close to the same.

We are talking PS2 here. That is great. They aren't much worse then the GoWII graphics.

~God of War was a marvel and GoWII surpassed it *they difference isn't that great*

---I really don't see how you can complain if GoWII's graphics were okay by you

It's simple. Don't think aboout it. If your basing weather or not your going to buy a game soley on the graphics, than you don't desrve God of War in the first place.

1. The graphics are better than you're average PS2 game.

2. Costumes yes, Urns/Arena, no.

Also, you really don't NEED to play God of War to understand God of War II, but it doesn't hurt, either.

I disagree. If you don't play the first one then you loose a lot of the experience.

I meant that you didn't need to play it in order for the STORY to make any sense. I didn't recomend not getting it, though.

The story is fairly simple though. But it is presented well:
[spoiler] Kratos is 'recruited' by the Gods to get rid of Ares' since they cannot engage eachother, Kratos goes to the temple of Pandora to get Pandora's box, he then uses it on Ares', and defeats him. [/spoiler]

Even though I missed things out thats practically it.

Edit By: 3C, spoiler alert.

GoW1 is very cheap nowadays and taking that into mind it doesn't hurt to buy it, but GoW2 has flashbacks which tell the story very well. but if i was you i would 100% buy it as it was and issuch a great game.

The first one is definitely worth picking up, i'm sure it is pretty cheap now too. If you are into the storyline it is worth playing all the gow games including the mobile game. Each game really gives a little more about kratos

I bought and played GOW2 before the 1st one and I think they are both excellent games graphics wise, you need to get the 1st one and play it, as it sort of helps fill in the story of the second one. The only thing I am not liking between them at the moment is I much prefer the rage of the titans to the rage of the gods, it seems to be a weak power up but thats my opinion :)

It's not that one form of rage is better than the other it's that they both do somthing a little different. Rage of the gods is simply a "drop in the bucket of rage" that is Kratos, rage of the titans is a slightly bigger drop, however, still just a drop. So, really, weater one is better than the other is really a pointless debate. In fact, I bet GMG could go through the game without extra rage. That should be a run... rageless run...or somthing...hmm...what should we call it?

~Kratos is so damn emo.

~~We need a member to call themselves Titan Mode TITAN...TMT...lawl.
