A step in the right direction from the first one (for the most part)
User Rating: 7.5 | God of War II PS2
Well let's start with the Story, Kratos has become the new God of War he controls the Spartans to win war after war. He still has visions of himself killing his family and so he is very angry with The Gods because they told him they would get rid of these horrors in his head in the end of God of War. Kratos was about to kill himself to get rid of these memory's however the God's have other plans for him they choose him to be the new God of War, as battle after battle go's on Kratos gets angrier with the Gods because he did not want to be the God of War and the horrors in his head continue to bother him. So Kratos decides to attack one of Athena's cities. This obviously makes Athena really mad and she goes after Kratos, and she uses a statue of herself to attack him and you must destroy the statue, its actually pretty good boss battle after that, Zeus comes after you and turns kratos mortal and nearly kills him. Then you are met with a Titan named Gaia She wants to help you because she thinks Zeus is not fit to be the leader of the Gods, so you must get the titans to help you get rid of Zeus.The story in this one is not that great I feel like Kratos dosen't think things through and he ends up trusting the titans, and I just feel like he just trusts anyone and then blames them because he didn't think things through.
The gameplay is better than the 1st one but it's not a huge improvement, the beat em up segments are better there are more enemies to fight and the controls feel a little bit nicer. Most of the puzzles are alright some of them are good and others not so much but they aren't as tedious as the first one. There are more boss battles on this one and most of them are really good, the only one I didn't really care for was that frog nipple one or whatever the hell it was. The spells are good probably better than the first one there are some that are really useful and the others are just alright but are still an improvement from the 1st one
Overall this is a good game there are some good improvements compared to the first one but their still isn't a whole lot of big differences in this game I don't really find this game very memorable and honestly I can't think of a whole lot of things to say about this game, however it still was a pretty fun game and it was definitely improved from the first one.
