Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta, has returned to the PlayStation 2 to spill the blood of all who have betrayed him!

Watch the mind-blowing official God of War II trailer now!

At the conclusion of the first God of War, anti-hero Kratos impaled the heart of Ares with his massive Blade of the Gods. As Ares' punctured chest still gushed blood, Kratos then took the throne in Olympus as the new God of War. Since the finale of his first odyssey, the ex-Spartan has used his new powers as a god to quench his voracious bloodlust, ravaging entire civilizations, and commanding his Spartan legions to commit extreme acts of barbarity and heinousness.

Kratos will face elephantine enemies in this epic sequel.

The gods have become furious with the carnage Kratos has been responsible for and after an invasion of the city of Rhodes, Athena has stripped Kratos of his divine powers, shrinking him down to the size of a mortal man. Haunted by his personal demons, enraged by the betrayal of Athena, and ready to mutilate his way through a whole new adventure, the Ghost of Sparta is back, angrier than ever, and he's finishing off the PlayStation 2's reign with a sequel that is just as epic as the original.

Clash of the Titans
Our hands-on preview of God of War II began with Kratos relaxing on his throne with a couple of half-naked Greek babes, and although their healthy breasts were not freed from their Grecian braziers, the game's Mature-rating description reveals that there will be plenty of "nudity and sexual themes."

Kratos then rises from his seat and joins his Spartan warriors in the demolishing of a city. Towering over his enemies, Kratos is the Godzilla of ancient Greece, smashing humans like ants under his mighty sandal. Just as he is in mid-slaughter, Ares sends down a bird that sucks Kratos dry of his godly powers, reducing him to the size of his human enemies. The magical bird then brings the gigantic statue of the Colossus of Rhodes to life.
