God of War
I mentioned how great
God of War was before, based on my impressions of the first level. The link there goes to the Gamespy review, and I think it pretty much sums up my feelings about the game as well:
- Not enough boss fights, since the ones that are in the game are just SO AWESOME.
- Ridiculously cool fighting moves.
- Pretty.
- Arguably one of the best games on the PS2 evar.
Seriously, I think you would have a hard time convincing me otherwise about that last point. The only game I might make a concession for would be Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and I posit that a game combining the best elements of both would be literally too good to keep contained on a disc. You would need divine intervention to be able to play it, it would be that amazing.
Still, God of War == the good stuff right here, and if you have a PS2, run-don't-walk to where you can get it and play this one.
