User Rating: 9.5 | God of War (Greatest Hits) PS2
The best Game I have ever played on the PS2 so far. Great graphics, great missions, great action. The characters are well thought of and well designed. Kratos is simply, the most ferocious looking hero on any video game!

As a third-person camera game, the player controls the character Kratos in a combination of combat, platforming and puzzle game elements. The player typically has to navigate Kratos through a long series of tests, trials and mazes to reach goals.

Kratos' main weapons are the Blades of Chaos, with secondary weapon the Blade of Artemis also being acquired. Magic is also acquired, with four different attacks being available: Poseidon's Rage, Medusa's Gaze, Zeus' Fury, and Army of Hades. The relic Poseidon's Trident is also obtained, which allows Kratos to breathe underwater. Kratos also temporarily wields the Blade of the Gods during the final fight with Ares.

A special ability called "Rage of the Gods" is also acquired, which provides temporary invulnerability and increased attack damage. It can be recharged by killing enemies.

Personally, my favourite attack is the Army of Hades.. then again, i have always liked Hades amongst all Greek Gods, cant understand why Zeus is so overrated as usual!!!
