The God of War series, made up of God of War and God of War II, featuring the brutal yet tortured anti-hero Kratos, engrossing storylines based in Greek mythology, over-the-top addictive action and puzzle-solving gameplay and simple controls is often referred to as one of the best, and/or most popular single player action games series ever made for PlayStation 2. The truth in this can be seen in the fact that in an era dominated by more advanced game consoles, fans of the franchise who have held on to their PS2's still revisit these two games from time to time, while gamers who missed their initial releases are tempted to give them a try, even though they have moved on to a PS3. Regardless which side of this you find yourself on the God of War Collection holds something for you. Released in advance of the highly anticipated God of War III, the first game in the series developed for the PS3 platform and rumored to also be the last overall, this collection allows players to properly prepare themselves for the final chapter in the adventures of Kratos, entirely through their PS3. The Games God of War
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 the lethal double chainblades known as the Blades of Chaos, 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. Over time, Kratos becomes the most vicious warrior in Ancient Greece and bathed in blood 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 cutscene starts and then sets the stage for the game. God of War II
God of War saw Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic quest to dethrone a god. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II, Kratos, the once mortal warrior turned ruthless god, sits atop his throne on Olympus, and is a threat far worse than his predecessor Ares had ever been, striking down anyone who crosses his path, or the path of his beloved Sparta. Filled with power and rage, the "Ghost of Sparta" sets out to alter that which no mortal or god has ever changed — his fate. Facing mythical characters, all bent on preventing him from reaching his goal, Kratos' journey brings him to the very edge of the Earth. But this is Kratos, and his defiance is filled with such arrogance and contempt that all of the ancient world still trembles at his name: Kratos, The God of War. Key Game Features - God of War and God of War II on one Blu-ray Disc.
- Remastered in high-definition at a resolution of 720p.
- Anti-aliased graphics for 60 frames per second gameplay.
- Full PlayStation Network (PSN) Trophies support for each game.
- Purchase includes a PSN voucher for the God of War III E3 2009 Demo.

 Believe it, It's really good. March 12, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this game two days ago, when it wasnt even in my wishlist. Ive been postponing some ps3 classics that are newer and cheaper than these oldies, but so many good reviews and the fact that you get not one, but two games for less than 30$, I went on and bought GOW collection, with nothing but fate, and especting to be dissapointed.
I was worried the old graphics would ruin the experience.
I was worried the gameplay wasnt all that good.
I was worried it would be too easy for me.
I was worried it would be a linear game that I could finish by just pressing a single attack button as fast as i could.
After hours into God of War (one), I can see I was worried for nothing.
I can safely and convincinly say, This game could easily beat many good "current" games for the ps3. I can compare this to one of my other action games, ninja gaiden sigma, This game beats that game in almost any category.
First of all, Theres nothing to worry about in terms of graphics. If I had bought GOW as a current 2009/2010 game, I would have said: Not great, but not bad either. Knowing that this is a game from the ps2, year 2005, I can see why many reviewrs gave it no less thatn 9.5/10. From this perspective, Ill give the graphics 10/10, for holding ground against current games while keeping its head held high.
Second, Theres nothing to worry about in terms of difficulty. im playing normal, and I cant say its hard, but its hell fun. This game remains fun, while still being easy enough to let you advance fluently without making you repeat a level time after time till reaching a point of frustration. If you think its too hard or too easy, the game has different levels of difficulty.
Third, gameplay. This is what makes it fun. GOW has it all. Combos that look awesome and have to have memorized, special powers, puzzles, minigames, or you can just slash your way through. As you advance, you can upgrade your powers and weapons making them stronger, and unlocking new combos. That gives you the chance to learn new combos untill you can upgrade and get new ones.
Besides all this, the fact that Ive been having fun for five hours and that I know that Im probably not too close to finish the game, and that I have the sequel waiting for me right there in the same disk, makes me truly believe what i read before but didnt believe. Godof War collection, is a steal.

Classic games nicely remastered in HD. March 8, 2010
Steven Borland
I was a fan of God of War 1 and 2 when they were released for the PS2 a few years back. This newer version plays well on the PS3. The graphics and sound are very good, and trophies have been added to the game. There are also some bonuses for beating the games on certain levels, which include inside videos of the making of the original games and commentaries from the creators. If you were a fan of the PS2 games, this is definitely a must have. Playing the original games after playing this remastered version is like going back to Atari.
Kratos: The Biggest Bada** In Gaming History March 8, 2010
Joseph Izzo
Is it just me or does anyone else think Kratos could make a Master Chief sandwich with Marcus Fenix and Captain Price as the bread? Man Kratos is a bada**. I had never played the God Of War games on PS2 but holy crap these games are awesome!. God Of War 1 I must admit is way too puzzle heavy. But that's really it's only shortcoming. The rest of it is great. But God Of War 2 is simply amazing! Let me tell you, with the HD upgrade this GOW 2 does not look like a last gen title. In fact it can compete graphics wise with many current gen games. There are less puxxles in GOW 2 which is great. The combat, the kills and the story are second to none. God Of War 3 is just around the corner and if you've played the demo, you know it's going to rock the house. The PS3 is definitely in it's prime now. Pick up GOW collection if you have not played the games before.
Classic March 8, 2010
Robert C. Feaver
I loved both of these games on the PS2. There isn't a huge difference in the PS3 upgrade in my opinion, but i'm also not using any HD technology here. Anyway, the games are still great, and they still have all the great extras that came with the originals. My PS2 has been messed up for years so it was wonderful to have these re-released.
