If you are familiar with Kratos' first outing on the PS2, then you'll feel right at home with this one: God of War 2 hooks you during an amazing opening level and doesn't let up until you finish the game some 20-30 hours later. The most impressive aspect of this game, as was true of the first God of War, is the scale on which battles take place. Using the opening level as a reference point, you fight a giant animated statue which is literally the size of a small building, then later in the level you actually ascend the giant from the inside, finally reaching the exit much later. The story is truly what reels you in, as Kratos' penchant for doing violence to those who have wronged him (or to whom he perceives as having wronged him) is legendary: You will want to keep playing just to see which deity Kratos offs next. Technically, the game is amazing, and you will shudder to think that this game is actually running on a PS2. The artistic design is awe-inspiring, and the graphics are nothing short of beautiful. Audio and voice acting are top-notch, especially during cutscenes. The gameplay is second to none, as Kratos controls flawlessly, and the combos and assorted brutalities all feel good to perform. The best thing that can be said about Kratos' latest adventure is that it is left unfinished; when you reach the game's conclusion, you will be driven by a single thought: Kill Zeus...to be continued.
