| | God of War Review for PS2 |
 | | God of War is no walk in the park, and most players will have a hard time beating the game on even normal settings, but the experience is intensely satisfying for the hard-core player. | | | God of War's fierce action is going to draw in legions of players, but the game features a surprisingly extensive puzzle solving sequences as well, with many going beyond the standard parameters players have come to expect. | | | God of War's gameplay is unforgiving, and will test even the best players, but these combat sequences don't make up the entire experience. |

| | God of War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The game's creator, David Jaffe, has said on many occasions that God of War will be a series of games and that a number of sequels will be made. | | | A game in the 3rd-person action genre, which includes Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, God of War focuses on slick, intuitive gameplay, an advanced graphics engine, and a well composed musical score. | | | The controls are fairly simple and intuitive, and the combat is simple at first - although the game becomes exceptionally challenging at higher difficulty levels. |

| | God of War (ps2: 2005): Reviews |
| | God of War is one of the bloodiest games I've played in quite some time, but also one of the best. | | | God of War is a stylish, gory and challenging action game that rewards you for skill and persistence. | | | GTA may have innovated in game design, and Halo may have been fun to play, but to say that God of War is straight-up the best American game of the last 5 years is a very severe understatement. |

| | Videogame Pundit: Review : God of War (Ps2) - Olympic gold... |
| | God of War isn't just a great game, it's easily the leading contender for Game of the Year. | | | The ONE downside to God of War, which is hardly negative when you take into consideration just how many times this game could and should be replayed, is that God of War is a very short game. | | | Brutal killings and human sacrifices are fair game when playing God of War. |

| | God of War was certainly one of the most anticipated games for 2005 and it appears to be living up to the hype. | | | From what we can tell, the only drawback to the game could be some of the puzzles that may get tedious for some players. | | | With incredible action and varying puzzles, the game has a little bit of everything for players. |

| | God of War - PlayStation 2 Review |
| | Early on, this came in the form of requiring the player to backtrack a significant distance without making it obvious where he was supposed to go; I spent a good amount of time in the first stages of the game wandering aimlessly while I tried to figure out where the game wanted me to go. | | | All told, God of War is easily one of the best games to come out in 2005 so far. | | | When all is said and done though, combat is what makes up the bulk of the game, and God of War’s combat system is easily one of the most responsive and fluid I’ve encountered in games of this type. |

| | God of War hits you hard straight in with a storm-lashed battle on a wrecked Aegean fleet against zombie warriors and an enormous, screen-filling hydra. | | | However, this is a game steeped in heroic fantasy, and with exactly the same basic strengths: it keeps things simple, doesn’t try too hard to be original or intellectual, but constantly delivers a thrilling, atmospheric experience. | | | The setting for this PlayStation 2 game is mythical Greece — and as anyone with the most cursory knowledge of The Iliad will tell you — that’s a world where blood and thunder is hardly an alien concept. |

| | God Of War is the quintessence of what every PS2 action game is supposed to be. | | | The culmination of this game takes you to a raging war in Athens, where you must destroy the God Of War, Ares. | | | While some games have you believe a few measly swipes of the sword will be enough to kill the minions from hell, God Of War takes a different approach to this suggestion. |

| | WORTHPLAYING - - All about games ! |
| | God of War, quite obviously, has no multiplayer mode; it’s just not a game that would work well with another Kratos running around. | | | With high quality gameplay, flashy graphics, and an impressive soundtrack, God of War is one of the better action games to come out in a long time, and its originality and flat-out style is enough to make a great addition to any gamer's collection. | | | I think a lot more games should do this in order to give you a window into the game development process so we can see why things do and don’t make it into the game, due to story or time constraints. |

| | Preview - God of War // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer |
| | God of War begins on a mountaintop, as a nameless Spartan soldier prepares to plunge to his self-inflicted death, and the game charts the preceding events in the form of a three or four-chapter story delivered via playable flashbacks. | | | David Jaffe was reportedly at pains to point out that the game also places a heavy emphasis on story-telling, with multiple endings available to encourage replay value, and that the game will be suitably brutal, with Cyclops boss characters and puzzles based on strategic placement of severed heads. | | | As we can already see from the visuals (which, despite the best efforts of the screenshot Nazis, we've managed to dig up watermark-free), the game features some suitably epic and misty locations, temples and monuments to various gods, and our muscular, grey-skinned hero himself is no slouch with the searing chain-sword. |

| | Review - God Of War // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer |
| | Admittedly, the way it handles nudity early on in the game is a mite ham-fisted, but on the whole it's one of those rare games where you'll actually want to watch cut-scenes again. | | | Narrowed down to its own genre, God Of War kicks many of Capcom's hilariously hammy efforts into orbit, but next to almost any American-produced game it's handled with a cinematic intensity that never resorts to trivialising the task at hand. | | | It's not often a game just comes along and floors the competition, but that God Of War does so in such breathtaking style is incredible. |

| | God of War is an exhausting, epic quest that challenges the mightiest video game warrior from the throne of their living-room couch. | | | However, Sony has completely upped the ante with God of War, an adventure of Herculean proportions that brilliantly plays off Greek mythology and delivers one of the most intense gaming experiences of the year. | | | Classic monsters, such as the Hydra, Minotaur, Sirens, and Harpies (among others) require specific techniques in order to defeat as the events take place against a driving music score reminiscent of the best Roman movie sagas like Ben-Hur. |

| | God of War Review @ DigitalBackSpin |
| | Before I forget there is another that sets God of War apart from the rest of the action crew and that’s the amount of stuff you unlock after beating the game. | | | One thing that sets it apart from the rest of the pack is how truly adult the game is. No punches were pulled and the kiddy gloves have been cast into the blazing fires of Hades. | | | Literature on the monsters in the game, a tour through deleted stages, background on Kratos and a preview for God of War 2 barely even scratch the surface of what is available. |
