God of War 2 for PS/2

It’s not often that game reviewers nearly drool over their copy, however after checking out the latest news of the PS/2 release of God of War 2, well, he needed lots of napkins. It seems to be a huge step forward from the previous episode and from other games in many ways.

This game delivers on so many levels it’s simply astounding. I’m not sure what type of magic the developers worked to get such stunning and lifelike environments but it worked.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better looking game for the PS2. The attention to detail is amazing, in the Atlas level in particular the backgrounds and surroundings are done so well you really feel as if you’re traveling inside his body.

The sound effects and musical score are also top-notch. They really get the blood pumping and help solidify the cinematic feel and quality of the game.

The voice acting is superb. Reprising his role as the voice of Kratos is T.C. Carson and he does an excellent job. Also, the decision to have Harry Hamlin voice Perseus, was a stroke of genius. Hamlin played the role of Perseus in the 1981 classic “The Clash of the Titans.” Add Michael Clark Duncan as the voice of Atlas and “GOW2″ becomes a great example of the attention to detail and outstanding production values that this game has to offer.

As far as gameplay is concerned the controls are intuitive and the learning curve is almost non-existent with the help of the in-game hint menu. There is no need for any long drawn out tutorials. The game starts off a mile a minute and never slows down.
