God of War | Sony PlayStation 2 | PS2

About the Game

God of War is set in the age of ancient Greek myths. The hero of the game is a mortal warrior Kratos. Long time ago, Kratos was the leader of Spartans, a fearless and brutal general who waged wars for the glory of his city. Today, he is known as the Ghost of Sparta.

Gameplay & Core Systems

God of War is a 3D action game with platforming and puzzle-solving elements. They allow players to perform combos, which will constantly climb until the fight is over or until it takes too long to register another hit. It is possible to upgrade the default weapons, learning new moves and striking faster, or put the orbs into different weapons acquired throughout the game, such as Blade of Artemis. Kratos will, over time, also have access to a selection of magic spells. A major part of the experience is several unlockable extras, which are only acquired when players have beaten the game on different difficulty modes.

Standout Features

• Similar to Devil May Cry , the red orbs collected from fallen enemies can be used to purchase upgrades.
• Most of the features are a behind-the-scenes look at various aspects of the game, such as creating the world, modeling Kratos, and a look at deleted levels that didn't make the final cut of the game.
