Thread: God of War vs. God of War: II

God of War is absolutely one of my favorite games. You should definitely play the first GOW (to see what triggered it all) since the second installment to me serves just a continuation to the storyline (it's a trilogy after all) of the game still I liked both pretty much the same.

The first one was new and fresh, was a solid game and a bit longer then the second. It would be hard for a sequel to ever surpass the original given a sequel loses that original concept aspect. Since it stayed on the PS2 basically GOWII is a continuation of the first with improvements on the minor problems with the first…while the game is a tad bit shorter it is, in terms of sequels or originals, still 10’s. The game is for mature audiences so beware if that is an issue for you. To me the game was just as good as the first and you REALLY SHOULD PLAY BOTH!

Hm, I've heard that a lot of people say that GOWII is better than GOW. As for the "mature audience" part of the game - I'm TOTALLY all for it *laughs* I love beating the crap out of random people (like I said.. I have a violent streak to me).

Just don't expect to love the boss battles too much in the first one, all three of them. They were ok, but one of them I didn't quite enjoy. I'll let you play it rather than talk about it. Enjoy, it's still a great game.

Anyways, the first was better to me for story, but the second had better battles. That about sums it up.

God of war 1 was much better then ghod of war 2 i found. the second one had a sucking story line unlike the first.

I remember when the first installment came out; I was excited. The screen shots were impressive, but then, I came across some reviews, including my friends' own perspectives, only to find that some ugly junk is in it. By "ugly", I don't mean all that gore and violence, which I don't mind, but something else... All those who played it must know what I am implying. However, I have never given it a try myself, so I would refuse to formulate any sort of generalizations and assumptions.. Just the same, I don't intend to take chances and get my heart dirty.

god of war one for the ps2 was mindblowing. like back then, the grafix were ahead of its time, and as an RPG game, it ranked higher than no other. the gameplay was solid, and the most important thing is that it did not get tiring cuz of all the different aproaches you could have taken to so many things
God of War II is practically removed of all the bad faults from the first game (major thumbs up) and even improves on the original's mechanics in a number of small and subtle ways. For example, you can now drop down walls while scaling them so that you have quick movement, which i love to escape the baddies with too bad i rented it for a week, i wanna play it again SO BADLY!
