God of War

<< < (3/3)

Blue Kitty:
Sorry to say, but the only thing that I truly care for now that involves God of War is the pre-order code that lets you use Kratos Sackboy

Rocketman:
The God of War series are some of my favorite games. I like the simplified combat, I like ripping a soldier in half with a single press, I like stabbing a cyclops in the nuts then scaling his back to rip out his eye without having to memorize some bullshit combo. I like the Ancient Greek setting (a major draw; I've never played Devil May Cry, despite hearing that it's similar, because there's not enough Greece), and that it's more similar to Greek myth (in spirit, obviously) than something like...Spartan: Total Warrior or 300 is to real history.

Though I did get the 300 game too.

Rizzo:
Holding out for GoW3 on PS3. Always enjoyed the combat. Such fun!

Roivas:
I liked God of War but the sequel was pretty much the same game with different [slightly] enemies and story. The overall concept of having to go on an epic journey to a temple with a powerful artifact at the core, before squaring off against a god was awfully formulaic. They might be able to conquer the repetition with the third one or maybe the PSP version doesn't follow as exactly but I'm not going to buy a system to find out if a series I kind of enjoy made any progress.

That Sackflour guy dressed as Kratos is awesome though.

The PSP version has a different plot. Without spoiling too much... Five years before the first game (when Kratos was a servant of the gods), Atlas escaped from his bonds in Tartarus and captured Helios, the Sun God. The world plunges into darkness and without Helios' power to oppose him, Morpheus' (God of Dreams) influence has swelled and nearly all the gods and mortals have fallen into a deep sleep. Kratos has to rescue Helios or the world will be locked in unending slumber.
