God Of War

The mutual love between a thumb and a few buttons is what a game could bring and that love could get into extreme degrees when you are engaged in a game like GOD OF WAR.

GOD OF WAR, the winner of over a dozen "Game of the Year Awards" is a PS2 based action - arcade game released in mid 2005. It redefined the action-arcade genre of PS2. This game is loaded with heavy dosage of voilence and adrenaline pumping button mashing action. Extremely addictive, it could make the shapes on the buttons of your PS2 remote control vanish like they never existed.

Story: The story deals with a spartan Kratos, who on the verge of defeat in the Spartan-Barbarian war requests God of War Ares to make him and the Spartans victorious in exchange of his soul. Since that day he is preyed by the demons of past. He decides to get rid of them by following a rigorous set of missions to beat Ares and become the God of War.

Gameplay: The game can be played in four modes. Mortal being the easy one and the Spartan which is locked being the difficult one, though even easy mode is not that easy at the first place. The controls are easy and engaging and the player will soon get used to them.

Graphics: The graphics of the game are brillaint considering that it is a 2005 game. The video detailing is awesome, the shadows, the splashes on water, the dust , the effects of wind are extremely realistic and well done. The gruesome cut scenes are splendidly crafted.

Sound: The soundtrack of the game is awesome with each sound indicating some position or some enemy, but while Kratos shuffles from position to position the sound cuts dont sound good.

Overall: God of War is a must play game for any gamer who wishes to experience the best of the games.
