    Re: IGN Review: God of War

    Just right when you think the story has probably gotten as good as it can get and it only will slow down, you go to Hades Enjoy it, you are very near the end of the game.

    Playing god mode now. Unreal. You can take all of about 3 direct hits and you are dead. You really learn how to block and evade. On normal, I was just wading into big groups of enemies. Now I try to strike from distance rolling around so much Kratos must puke after every battle.

      Just beat the game. Two words. IN....CREDIBLE!!!!

      From start to finish, probably the best game I've ever played. Whether it's my favorite ever, probably too soon to say with Metal Gear Solid and Snake Eater still up there. Like everyone else who beat it so far, I can't say enough for the later parts of the story and the unlockables. As much as I fear becoming immersed in this game again, the challenge of God Mode and the additional unlockables will soon be calling! I'll stop there to save the secrets, and so I can watch my newly revealed treasures.

      For all the hype we gave this game last week, it certainly lived up to and exceeded everything we said. What a game.

              I am at pandoras temple on the gigantic creatures back. What sucks is during some cut scenes i previously got to in the game there were little hiccups of stutters but when i get to the cut scene with the skeleton guy at pandoras temple the game just hiccups and freezes. I think my ps2 is showing its age. I just wanna beat this game its awesome. So far i give it a 9.25 out of 10. I would give it higher, but i just feel like this game will be short. I am only 3.5 hours into it.

                      I flew through the game up until the temple too. It's very challenging in there, with more layers than all the Tomb Raiders combined! Most of my time was spent trying to get the box, so enjoy the challenge.

                      Also, the story gets better and the incentive to play again could make it longer than you think. Hope your PS2 cooperates 8bit.

                          I am in a huge maze, so I suppose the end of the game is near. Right? So far this game is just flat out awesome.

                              the cutscenes in this game have just been wicked choppy on my 4 year old ps2. Anyone else having this problem? The gameplay runs silky smooth, but cutscenes are a different story. I usually have to lift my ps2 up a little, to get it moving.
