a good story line i cant wait til part 2 comes out early next year i hear its supposed to be even better

I never actually played the game, but I did finish the demo a few months ago and I liked it -- the whole Greek mythology thing doesn't really appeal to me, but it is dealt with in an interesting fashion and the production values are through the roof, so I had no complaints.

In the end, I guess God of War is like a tuna sandwich on rye -- a good sandwhich, sure, but nothing I'd go out of my way to get.

I passed on it due to the graphic violence of it's blood and gore. It's too bad really, it looks like it would be an interesting game.

Who are you, a rep for the ESRB?

This is on my list of games to try out. I won't buy PS2 games new though, and I'm guessing used prices on it are still pretty high.

The game is already in Sony's Platinum line-up so it shouldn't be more than $20.

It's not that great, gory as hell though. The gameplay is nothing Prince of Persia wasn't before it. And one big problem, maybe not big, but a problem, the lead character has no moral cause. He's doing what he does for himself, he kills innocents, and watches as innocents die. Has the ability to save people, and kicks them into harms way for no reason than to just kill people cause he's, for lack of a better term, bored. He's not a hero. Sure, playing a game where youre not a hero sounds fun, but on a level like GTA, that makes sense, and sometimes theres a reason for what the guys do, to save some people by wiping out other gangsters.

Graphics/character designs/story thats an alright idea, concept wise, but the fact that the character could turn from this dark character to a good guy, and I guess it just falls short of that.

Cost isn't the problem. I don't give Sony money by buying new games, no matter how small of an ammount.

I may own a PS2, but that doesn't mean I support the console.

Yeah, I thought so. I think you know what I think of that kind of attitude...

*Kid Icarus* · 05-14-2006, 02:28 AM

I do, I do. I'm backing out of this thread now, too, before I manage to cause a problem here.

**Barkworm** · 05-14-2006, 02:33 AM

You know, I'm not trying to pick on you. I think it's well documented that I actually like you a lot. It's just this "SONY IS THE ANTI-CHRIST"-thing I don't like. When Peanut does it it's cute though. :p

Comes from me being an elitist, jerkish, Nintendo fanboy

.

No hard feelings though. I know I can cause some pretty harsh discussions around here... have in the past, hopefully not again.
