Product Description
Unleash the power of the Gods and embark on a merciless quest as Kratos, an ex-Spartan warrior driven to destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with lethal double chainblades, Kratos must carve through mythology’s darkest creatures— including Medusa, Cyclops, the Hydra and more, while solving intricate puzzles in breathtaking environments. Driven by pure revenge, nothing can stop Kratos from achieving absolution.
Kratos is an ex-Spartan soldier possessed by Ares, the God of War. Over time, he becomes the most vicious warrior in Ancient Greece to a point where he can't bare it anymore and sets out on a journey to kill Ares. However, the only way to destroy Ares is to find Pandora's Box, which is located in a temple that's perched upon a hill and guarded by traps, puzzles, enemies, etc. The story is told as a flashback of three weeks prior to where the opening movie starts and then sets the stage for the game... Special Features:
- GOD OF WAR introduces a brutal slice of life set in the mythological Greek era. Players can live according to their own nature. Even if it is by brute force.
- Defining the next evolution in gaming, GOD OF WAR presents an explosive gameplay mix: raw melee combat fused with traps, stunts and story driven puzzles.
- Huge collection of moves: players can swing on ropes, scale mountain cliffs, swim through rivers, slide down zip lines.
- GOD OF WAR delivers an extensive combat system based on uniquely linking combos for a myriad of fighting moves. Take the combat in air, take out a number of enemies at once, and utilize "context sensitive moves" – moves that in particular situations, allow you to grab, kick or throw an enemy.
- Kratos' main weapons are two blades – one attached to each arm by a long chain that wraps around his arm. This allows for both short-range and long-range attacks.
- Encounter some of the greatest mythological beasts and enemies: Medusa, Cyclops, Minotaur, Harpies and more.
- Unleash an innovative magic system that grants the power of gods and monsters: use Medusa's head to freeze your enemies, strike them with Zeus' thunderbolt, cut them down with Ares' blades.
- Explore and unravel numerous puzzles that range from simpler lever pulls to the most mind-bending, sadistic twisters around.
- Players can experience a real-time world of interactivity: soldiers battle and die, structures fall to the ground, and the dark, violent world of Greek mythology comes to life in gory detail.
- From the creative director of the Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal:Black franchise.

Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Gods....
“For ten long years, Kratos has been haunted by endless nightmares, the reminders of his horrible past. He has caused terrible destruction but now he seeks forgiveness.
For the Gods of Olympus to forgive his sins, Kratos must complete one final mission. He must do the impossible. He must defeat Ares, the God of War.”
God of War is a bloody, gory and action packed adventure game that will have you hooked as soon as you get to the main menu.
Now, before I get into this review I must warn you that God of War is not for the faint hearted.
If you are one of the few people who don’t like to see mythical beasts getting skewered and decapitated, then I don’t advise you to rush out and buy a brand new God Of War game.
But for the rest of us, prepare for the destruction of Ancient Greece’s greatest mythical beasts as we play Kratos, an angry warrior who is a bit down on his luck.
Firstly, let’s start with the music. The eerie chanting is really spooky, especially when you’re trying to get through a maze or climb a mountain. In Hades there is no music but the terrified screaming of the doomed people falling past you into the river Styx below really sets the scene.
Along with the music, the scenery is also one of the greatest features of the game. With the Ancient Greek buildings in Athens and the intricately drawn Temple of Pandora, the artwork will leave you breathless.
The beasts and characters are drawn perfectly as well. My favourite enemy would have to be the Minotaur boss in Pandora’s Temple.
He is one BIG Minotaur and is very scary looking. With his huge flesh ripping claws and horns, awesome spiny armour and flaming red eyes, what’s not to like?!
As well as the giant Minotaur, there is also a bunch of equally huge and equally angry Hydra, cyclops’ with spiky mace balls instead of hands and deadly wraiths who would love nothing better than to hack into you with their sword-like claws.
Awesome to watch, but not too good for Kratos though…
Finally, I’d just like to say that God of War is one of the best games I have ever played, bettered only by the sequel. Not buying this game would be a mistake because it is seriously AWESOME!!!
