The God of War Saga Now for the PS3
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.
