Rating: - What's the fuss?
I'm fairly new to video gaming, having only bought my first console a couple of years ago for my young son. But I have grown to love playing, both with my son and by myself. I recently finished all the grown-up games I have (LOL!), and was on the hunt for a new one.
Based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the God Of War series, I picked up the first one. And...well...maybe I just don't get it. Maybe I'm too old. Maybe I'm too picky. I can't understand what all the fuss is about. I was TERRIBLY disappointed in this game and feel like I just flushed $20.00 down the toilet.
I feel that the game is juvenile, poorly written, poorly visualized, and...well, kind of lame. The action is ok, but only ok. The sets and characters are so poorly designed that I am shocked they actually made it to the screen (I'm a comic book artist, so maybe my expectations are high). On the whole, from the concept art and designs to the the battles to the unnecessary sex scenes to the character development, this game strikes me as something that came from the imagination of a depressed and angry 14-year-old boy.
Like I said, maybe I'm just too old and picky. I'm glad so many have enjoyed this game. But I'm certainly not one of them, and felt that there needed to be at least one review on here to show that, at least if you're an adult looking for some quality games, God Of War may not be the perfect video game that you expect it to be.

This truly is for a real gamer. Beginners barely stand a chance in this game, and I highly don't recommend it if you don't play many video games.
God of War has a great storyboard, though difficult, with a great ending. Play as Kratos, and seek revenge against the God of War himself, Aries, who saved you in a battlefield years before.
As Zues forbids other gods to fight his son Aries, you are guided by Athena to save Athens. If you can save Athens, the gods will grant you forgiveness from your guilty conscious. If you fail, you will join Hades in Hades. Destroy Aries and you betray the one who saved you. What will happen? Play and find out.
Rating: - Possibly The Greatest Video Game Ever.
All I can say about this game is WOW!!!!!! I got this game a few months back along with God of War II because I had heard how good they are, but haven't been playing video games as much lately as I used to so I hadn't put it in my PS2 to play until last night. Even after reading all the glowing reviews from critics and gamers alike nothing prepared me for this. Right from the start I was in awe. Graphics, sound, gameplay, story, load times, everything is phenomenal. Compare this game to anything on the 360 or PS3 and I don't think there can possibly be anything on those systems that can be any better than this. IMHO the graphics and sound are on par with anything I've seen on the next-gen systems. This is going to make me put off buying a PS3 a little longer. The PS2 still has some life in it with games like this.
