God of War 2 is a
third person action adventure video game developed by SCE Santa Monica Studio
and published by Sony Computer Entertainment God of War II Best Action Game but
overall Game of the Year for 2005, and to this day it stands as one of, if not
the greatest, action games ever released. Though Kratos wound up sitting atop
his throne as the God of War II at the first game's finale, his tale was far
from over. God of War II picks up right where the original left off and follows
the anti hero on his continued path of revenge.
God of War II Though it's not destined to be the
very last game for the system, it doesn't seem likely that anything else will
come along in the coming months to trump what God of War II achieves. As the
sequel to 2005's megapopular action adventure set within the basic confines of
Greek mythology, it continues the agonizing and rage-fueled odyssey of the
world's angriest man god, Kratos, as he goes on another epic vengeance bender.
It's an altogether familiar adventure in many ways, with a lot of gameplay mechanics
held over that haven't necessarily been improved in any meaningful capacity,
but that's not to suggest the game isn't better overall. God of War II is a
brilliantly paced, tightly crafted piece of work that's as intelligently
designed as it is thrilling to play. In short, it's exactly what you would want
from a sequel to God of War.
God of War 2 makes it look like Jaffe was only
half trying. If the first game was Jaffe’s Fellowship of the Ring a signal that
a previously middleweight talent has suddenly shifted into creative overdrive
this is his Return of the King: a fully realised feast of imagination combined
with sheer technical muscle. It makes a lot of so called next generation games
seem small.
Where do you start with a game like this? How
about where God of War 2 opens, with our musclebound anti hero, Kratos, now
elevated to godhood, leading an army of Spartans in a raid on the city of
Rhodes. Athena, quite reasonably concerned at her protégé’s bloodthirsty
leanings, gets our boy demoted to demigod status right in the middle of the
fray, leaving Kratos not just to fight his way through masses of justifiably
annoyed Rhodes guardians, but at the mercy of the towering colossus; an
enormous metal giant whose hands tear through buildings and whose face can fill
the whole screen. After defeating this enormous foe a running battle that takes
place not just around the walls and battlements of Rhodes but inside the
colossus itself, Kratos then has to battle the mighty Zeus himself.
It's an interesting tale that God of War II
tells, almost more so because so much of it is about what happens around
Kratos, rather than Kratos himself. The game spends long stretches focusing on
the myths and legends that surround the battles between the gods and the
Titans, setting up backstory for the mess that Kratos has gotten himself
involved in. In this regard, there's a bit less of an emotional connection to
this game. You don't have any of those moments of personal horror as you did in
the first game concerning Kratos and his savage past that led him astray but
that's OK. This isn't exactly a game that requires emotional storytelling to
get by. God of War II is much more about the journey, the mythos, and the
desire to just kill anything that comes within a step of your path.
Fortunately, the game gives you plenty to kill
and makes it plenty fun to do so. Apart from the usual array of Cyclopes,
minotaurs, and zombie warriors, there's a whole host of new characters to
fight, not the least of which are several recognizable figures from Greek
mythology, such as Icarus, Perseus voiced by, of all people, Clash of the
Titans' Harry Hamlin, and big daddy Olympus himself, Zeus. Mind you, the God of
War universe doesn't treat the mythology on which it's based with much regard
for accuracy. This is basically Greek fan fiction, with the only real goal
being to bring together as many characters from Greek mythology as possible and
then provide fun ways to kill all of them. On this front, the game doesn't
disappoint.
