    Please let me know which one you prefer.

    Things I like in a game:

    -Character Development

    -Combat/ Platforming

    -Camera Angle

    - COMBO KILLS!!

    -Trophies (HD Remake only)

    Can someone plz let me kno which one and why. (I'll sub to the first three people to reply properly)

  • @JamSamwitch3102 get both

  • @JamSamwitch3102 I'd Prefer Both but if You need to Buy Only 1, I'd say God of War 1, It's Where the Story Started, You'll See everything that God of War 2 and God of War 3 Has Improved by Playing God of WAr 1, Hope This Helps X)

  • @JamSamwitch3102 Lol obviously get God Of War 1 first.

  • god of war tops gow 2 in puzzles and environments

  • @JamSamwitch3102 yes.

    Yes they do.

  • @JamSamwitch3102 Yes it does

  • @sidex0307 thanks

  • Am i the only one who liked god of war 1 better than 2?

  • god of war was a ten...This game goes to eleven! :D

  • oh come on...it realy looks like I MUST buy the HD collection.

  • Excuse me as I go and order GOW Collection...

  • @TheFlashyGamer I excuse you!

  • @TheFlashyGamer just got it, ITS AWESOMEEEEE

  • I'm in my late-teens, I dunno about you guys, but games like 'God of War I and II' and PS2 classics, that's my personal definition of "retro gaming" XD

  • well actually its all black. Kratos just happens to be more in the white then the others.

  • Am I the only one who manage to find problems with this game the first one didn't have? Like, you're not really sure when you can use this and that to control certain things. Also, I did not like how you start powerful and then gets all the powers stolen from you. Not to mention, I felt bored by the beginning of the game. Like the game a lot; but I think the first GoW is better.

  • @kurvos i ordered all the games today :D

  • @MsMikuel ... I didn't ask.

  • THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!

  • this and re4=best games ever

  • in my opinion the best of the god of war trilogy

    GOD OF WAR 2 FTW!!!!!!!

  • 23 people play Big Rigs

  • @GamesInChaos haha! dont even go there

  • @Haslamflip327

    lolwut

  • I FUCKING LOVE the intro song of this vid. What is it called?

  • CONTINUED...

    *SPOILERS FROM GOW 1***** Kratos enters the villiage and destroys everything in sight, but he didnt realize that his wife and child was in that villiage, so now the sorceress puts a curse onto him that the ashes of his dead family will cover him for eternity. Kratos goes on a large journey to get Pandoras Box, the power to kill a god. And at the climax, he kills Ares and becomes the next god of war.

  • is god of war is one of the best games and the graphics its history played a fierce warrior with the Olympus just undies just that easy with the worst is that his dad kills for revenge that is most remarkable

  • i trip balls wen i play it stoned

  • @Haslamflip327

    The graphics looks dated because it's PS2... For being last gen, it's the best looking game. The scenery is amazing!

  • This game is fucking raw i can play it 10 times and still be havin fun.

  • 0:00 to skip ads

  • Zeus - Rest In Peace, mutherfucker!

  • he got power from Ares

    move to USA

    changed his name into Ronald McDonald

    and he happy ever after

  • Damn these games look cool, except I honestly don't get the story. Is he a spartan or something and he murdered someone?

  • @yermom014 Well, you're at the wrong place my friend. If you want to know the story line you should be at a video labled 'God of war 2', hah

  • @yermom014 ok then what happens is he murdered his wife and chile which is why he has white skin its there ash he was in a war he was about o die so he called ares to help him ares controled him and forced him to do things that gave him nightmares so athena said that if he stop and kills ares she will rid him of his nightmares so kratos does alot of stuff and kills ares athen doesent get rid of his nightmares but does make him the new god of war thats the end of god of war 1 then in god of war 2

  • @yermom014 zeus kills kratos so he wages war on olympus athena gets in the way of kratos when hes about to kill zeus then thats god of war 2 then god of war 3 he basicaly kills all the gods

  • he was a spartan but then this dick named Area's (God of War) told Kratos ill give you these powers to become powerful and kill this one hilbillie barbarion. so he did kill him but then the powers started to controll Kratos into killing his Hot wife and his annoying fucking kid. so in the first god of war he kills areas and gets revenge which then makes kratos the new god of war but then in this one Zues pisses Kratos off by calling him pale and stuff and it takes kratos 2 games to kill Zues.

  • @yermom014 Heres the story:

    *SPOILERS from GOW 1***

    Kratos is in war, a spartan general, he is engaging in combat and about to die when he makes a desperate plead, he calls the god of war: Ares, and tels him to let him live and his life is his. Ares helps Kratos and creates him to become a very powerful man. One day, while destroying villages and massacring civillians, a old (witch? sorceress? Im not sure tbh) warns him not to enter a certain villiage.

    *CONTINUED IN NEXT POST*

  • i must say, i never played this game. i only played ps3, xbox360 and wii games now... picked this up for $10 bucks by chance and it blows everything i played on those next gen systems...

  • @delli2011 dude my friend at school sold me this game for like 3 bucks

  • @Ryanunderoath nice, one of the top 3 playstatin 2 game at least.

  • For everyone who wants to know. The opening theme is called "The rise of the Phoenix"

  • I have a 360 but I still think God of War is one of the best series ever created. And so is Halo and many other game. So can we all Ps3 owners and 360 owners be at peace?

  • @playerstill123 The war never ends

  • @playerstill123 then what would we do with our Xboxes except for arguing about them?

  • if you say this game is better then the first then why is the first one given a higher score???

  • @Y2Jericho96 Because the first one was unique , and surpassed everything back then , but this game as he mentioned 'hasn't redefined anything'.

  • chris roper is one of my favorites reviewers from ign.com!

  • Comment removed

  • what's better, this game or Arkham Asylum

  • @popp1nbottlez it depends if you like to feel like a kickass go for god of war, if you like stealth mixed in with combat from time to time go for batman

  • @popp1nbottlez get both lol

  • @popp1nbottlez they are both two of my favorite games of all time. if you want nonstop action and huge boss fights, god of war. if you want sweet graphics, stealth, good combat system, and overall creepy environment, arkham asylum.

  • @popp1nbottlez arkham asylum dosen't match up to this its areally good game but it still dosen't match god of war

  • What's the name of the song from the start of this video?

  • @ecartman12 it's gow 2 soundtrack called phoenix rising but you should check out the gow 3 soundtrack brothers of blood it's similar but better :)

  • @JohnnyBoy7267 Thanks alot.

  • i'm downloading this game for ps3 right now the hd version can't wait to play this game again missed it from ps2

  • boobs!

  • 1:55

    666 points......

  • i bought gow collection when i beat em ima get god of war 3 i love this series also i have a question does anyone know if gow ghost of sparta and chain of olympus can be played in ps3? thanks.

  • @tiracdemonhunterfear no only on psp

  • @tiracdemonhunterfear Nope, they're psp exclusives

  • Honestly this game was extremely overhyped. The story is great but it's just too horribly paced and no one is developed, the puzzles are WAY too frequent and they're more annoying and boring than they are clever and fun. However, the visuals (both in-game and CG) are great, even now, the atmosphere is great, the soundtrack and voice acting is fantastic, and the combat is okay.

  • epic grafics!!

  • @wasiur5000 Take a look at the 3rd Game lol.

  • The reviewer stutters way too much

  • I have beat number 1 and I'm almost done with number 2 I'm at the part with the Phoenix with the blood, and how the witch comes up

  • @ROBLOXiansRejct666 Dude you will love 3

  • @SonicandTails4life

    Well I'm almost done now, I got passed that, now I have to fight the THREE sisters of fate. O.o My dad beat it. But he's the master of that game, and it ticks me off. O.o

    D': My favorite weapon is the 'Spear Of Destiny' I love it! :D

  • The opening music is so epic that it almost brings me to tears, anyone know the song?

  • is this game really good plzz reply

  • @13frogie Its really good and its worth picking up but GOW 3 is the weakest in the series story wise. God Of War 2 is better because its longer, has more boss battles, and the story is the best in the series! God Of War 3 is still a sick ass game tho.

  • @LWebb1000 Yea gow2 was epic when i first got it i thought it was a next gen game krazy!!!!

  • @LWebb1000 GoW3 was short... That was the only thing that made it the weakest. But the graphics were amazing!

  • @OnlyGodCanJudgeMe808 The story and boss fights are better in GOW 2, I liked the magic better in GOW2 as well.

  • @OnlyGodCanJudgeMe808 The story for it was horrible, and it was easier.

  • @LWebb1000 You thought the story was better in GoW2? It was full of plotholes/inconsistencies, how is it better? The first one and Ghost of Sparta have the best stories.

  • The God of War-series pwnd Assassins Creed-series.

  • @Jiyaijo You can't compare the two, one's a stealth game and God of War clearly isn't.

  • @FatherTime89 When you look at it in general, many more people play God of War over AC. And God of War has sold more than AC, so God of War has pwnd AC.

  • I can't decide what the greatest game of all time is. This or GoW3. Only flaws - Barbarian Hammer and the Lance of Destiny don't handle as well as the Blade of Artemis from GoW1 plus Atlas Quake isn't as good as Army of Hades and Ares is a harder boss than Zues. But if you have to compare it another game in the same series to make it look bad it must be damn near perfect.

  • @MegaMcClarey God Of War 2 is definitely better than God Of War 3!

  • @LWebb1000 how is gow2 better then 3 ?

  • BEST GAME for ps2 and BEST VIDEO GAME SERIES

    i like only god of war 1, 2 and 3 the rest are crap (chains of olympus, betrayel)

  • What do you think of them getting rid of the health meters for the BIG boss fights?

  • actually this might suprise you but this games graphics are the same as the 360's. PS2 actually has the same graphic engine as the 360 but they never use the full power of it. I'm serious if you play this game the graphics are just stunning for PS2.

  • @1legomaster i know the gfx are stunning for a ps2 game but they are nowhere as good as the new generation of consoles (excluding wii), seriously.

  • @abc123def456hahaha have you guys notice that Kratos looks a bit cleaner and slimmer in the second game compared to the first?

  • I have a friend who hates this because of the plot. :(. I love this series though, including the story.

  • music EPICNESS!

  • One of the best games of al the time!

  • @fogueto1

    THE BEST!

  • @fogueto1 a gow ||| is more amazing than this and yes i agree you

  • @fogueto1 your comment could be having a baby right now.

  • @TheSethcast ahahah nice one

  • @angryguy306

    With are both completly different...

    (One is for kids, and the other makes kids shit bricks)

  • @keshaz12 Yeah...get a life.

  • Why don't we get to play this in university history lessons?

  • Zeus is a pussy of you compare him to ares from GOW 1 O_O

    That son of a bitch killed me like 100000 times, while i only died 1 time yesterday (first playthrough)!

    While, the boss just before that (the one with all the boobs and hands) O_O

    Oh my god, i died like a billion times just to get to her, no fucking check point!

    I played the game on normal all the way, while when i got there (30 minutes from the end) i had to switch to easy XD

  • HOLD. DEVILS. POT OF TEA!

  • @LWebb1000 Final fantasy

  • @PisYCaca1 Yea its up there to

  • what is the theme song in the start of this review from 0:00 to 0:25???

  • i feel like im almost looking at a ps3 game and i just bout the collectors gow1,2 for the ps3 and i think im almost done the first and now im wanting to play this so bad then im buying gow 3right after......... fuck it all buy it tomorrow

  • @Cow39 yea i was thinking of buying the collection. i also have 2 other games in mind: uncharted, and killzone 2. i like all of'em equally i just need a game that would entertain me for the rest of the summer. which game do u recommend?

  • @peyman1992 oh man idk lol ah those are all good games i played and been through them all but i would half to say maybe the collection cause for one there are two games in one and there awesome then after buy god of war 3 cause i did buy i and i did beat it and one word to some that baby up would be EPIC but thats my opinion.

  • Best graphics for PS2 at least in an epic sense.

  • Is it better to play the first game then the 2nd game first?

  • @iGatorNation yes

  • @iGatorNation yes

  • I don't have much money to buy ps3.

    But I MUST buy ps2 to play THIS GAME!

  • i havent played this (only the first one), but before i play GoW 3, i NEED to play this cuz unlike most gamers today, i actually play for the story that has to be told
