God of
War is a third
person action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica
Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). First
released on March 22, 2005, for the PlayStation 2 (PS2) console, it
is the first installment in the series of the same name and the third
chronologically. Loosely based on Greek mythology, it is set in ancient
Greece with vengeance as its central motif. The player controls the
protagonist Kratos, a Spartan warrior who serves the Olympian
Gods. The goddess Athena tasks Kratos with killing Ares, the God of
War, who is responsible for Kratos accidentally killing his family. As Ares
besieges Athens out of hatred for Athena, Kratos embarks on a quest to find the
one object capable of stopping the god: the legendary Pandora’s. After an epic
quest, Kratos is successful and replaces the defeated Ares as the new God of
War.
The gameplay of God
of War focuses on combo-based combat, achieved through the
player's main weapon—the Blades of Chaos—and a secondary weapon acquired later
in 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. It also features puzzles and plat
forming elements.
God of
War sold more than 4.6 million copies worldwide and is the tenth
best-selling PlayStation 2 game of all time. Regarded as one of the best
action-adventure games for the platform, it won several "Game of the
Year" awards. In 2009, entertainment website IGN named God of
War the seventh-best PlayStation 2 game of all time. In addition to its
gameplay, it has been highly regarded for its graphics, sound, presentation,
and story. The game and its first sequel, God of War II, were remastered
and released in November 2009 as part of the God of War Collection, and in
2012, the remastered version was re-released as part of the God of War
Saga, both for the PlayStation 3 (PS3). A novelization of
