God of
War II is a third
person action-adventure video game developed by Santa
Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE).
First released for the PlayStation 2 (PS2) console on March 13, 2007,
it is the second installment in the God of War series, the sixth
chronologically, and the sequel to 2005's God of War. The game is loosely
based on Greek mythology and set in ancient Greece, with
vengeance as its central motif. The player controls the protagonist Kratos,
the new God of War who killed the former, Ares. Kratos is betrayed by Zeus,
the King of the Olympian Gods, who strips him of his godhood and kills
him. Slowly dragged to the Underworld, he is saved by the Titan Gaia,
who instructs him to find the Sisters of Fate, as they can allow him to
travel back in time, avert his betrayal, and take revenge on Zeus. Unsuccessful
at killing Zeus, Kratos uses the power of the Fates to retrieve the Titans from
the past, and leads them in an assault on Mount Olympus.
The
gameplay is very similar to the previous installment, and focuses on combo-based combat,
achieved through the player's main weapon—Athena's Blades—and secondary weapons
acquired throughout the game. It features quick time events that
require the player to complete various game controller actions in a timed
sequence to defeat stronger enemies and bosses. The player can use up to
four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability as alternative combat
options. The game also features puzzles andplatforming elements.
In addition to its vastly similar gameplay, God of War II features
improved puzzles and four times as many bosses as the original.
God of
War II has been acclaimed as one of the best PlayStation 2 and action
games, and was 2007's "PlayStation Game of the Year" at the Golden
Joystick Awards. In 2009, IGN listed it as the second-best
PlayStation 2 game of all time, and both IGN andGameSpot consider it the
"swan song" of the PlayStation 2 era. In 2012, Complex magazine
named God of War II the best PlayStation 2 game of all time. It was
the best-selling game in the UK during the week of its release and went on to
sell 4.24 million copies worldwide, making it the thirteenth best-selling
PlayStation 2 game of all time. God of War II, along with God of War,
was remastered and released on November 17, 2009, as part of the God of
War Collection for the PlayStation 3 (PS3). The remastered version
was re-released on August 28, 2012, as part of the God of War Saga, also
for the PlayStation 3. A novelization of the game was published in
February 2013.
