Why God Of War I I Is Such An Awesome Game To Play

Kratos, the god of war, at least in one video game that is, is definitely one of the best characters that game developers have ever created for the PlayStation platform. You actually get to literally play through different Greek myths and stories that have been playfully and tastefully twisted a little bit to make the game more action-packed, exciting and most definitely worth playing.

With two successful releases under his belt, Kratos is looking forward to conquer all of Olympus real soon. Gamers better watch out for this since it is going to be one of the best games that will ever be released on the PlayStation 3 console. However, let us take a step back in time right now and talk about the second installment – God of War 2 and why it is such an awesome game to play.

1. If it involves anything about Greek mythology, you know it is going to be a really great story.

If you are fond of Greek mythology, this game is practically tailor made to tickle your fancy. You actually get to see Greek heroes like Jason, Perseus and many others throughout the course of this game. You actually even get to encounter several Titans like Atlas, Gaia, Kronos and many more.

It is like you are actually playing through Greek mythology and all the lore, magic, and mystery that it has to offer. As you battle through several Greeks that stand in Sparta's way, come across several mythical creatures and enemies of years past, it is still a roller coaster ride from start to finish. And if that is not enough for you, the game play is also quite amazing, allowing gamers to have several attack moves and the freedom to move through places back and forth.

2. It is action-packed; you get to hack and slash and even slam your enemies away.

With all the weapons and powers that you have at your disposal, it is definitely going to be a bloody and messy fight from start to finish. As you slice your way through several opponents like lizard men, sirens and other mythical Greek creatures, you will find that there is never a shortage of bodies to cut through whether it is with Athena's blades, that bow that we just can't remember its name, or that hammer thing that allows you to summon a certain number of spirits to attack your target of choice. It is a game of take no prisoners, so hack and slash all you can – seriously.

3. If you play it twice, you get to use the sword of Olympus for a weapon – sweet.

Remember that sword you used at the start of the game that allowed you to finish off the Colossus of Rhodes? That is the sword of Olympus. It is quite the amazing weapon to have. It is like a combination of Athena's blades and that huge hammer thing that pummels enemies away. If you have accomplished God of War 2 already, you'd better play it again because it is definitely worth your while.
