About God of War II
God of War II, an action-adventure hack-and-slash video game, was developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). Initially launched for the PlayStation 2, it serves as the second installment in the God of War series, the sixth in chronological order, and a sequel to 2005's God of War. The game is rooted in Greek mythology and unfolds in ancient Greece, revolving around the theme of vengeance. The protagonist, Kratos, is the new God of War, having defeated the former, Ares. However, Kratos is betrayed by Zeus, the King of the Olympian gods, who not only strips him of his godhood but also kills him. Dragged slowly to the Underworld, Kratos is rescued by the Titan Gaia, who guides him to seek out the Sisters of Fate. These entities have the power to enable time travel, allowing Kratos to prevent his betrayal, and ultimately seek revenge on Zeus.

507 duels and 67% wins, that's a solid record for a PS2 game facing off against much newer titles.
PedroHunter
Cada vez que veo estas comparaciones pienso lo mismo, y aun así sigo votando por él sin dudarlo.
CoopPhoenix2010
El 284 no le hace justicia del todo para mí. Los combates contra jefes finales siguen siendo de lo mejor que ha dado el género, y encima en PlayStation 2 se movía todo con una fluidez que pocos igualaban entonces. Sigo votando por él cada vez que aparece.

El combate cuerpo a cuerpo envejeció razonablemente bien, hay que reconocerlo, pero la cámara fija en ciertas salas me sacaba completamente del ritmo y para un puesto tan alto eso pesa.
SilviaAce
Frente a Uncharted 2 pierde en puesta en escena, creo, aunque el combate cuerpo a cuerpo sigue siendo más directo.
IronPilot
the staging comparison always comes up but nobody mentions the pacing which honestly aged rougher than the visuals in my opinion
FrameLegend2010
Yo lo jugué justo después de terminar Uncharted 2 y la diferencia de ritmo se nota, aunque el combate tiene su propia identidad.

I'll admit I'm biased here, I still vote for it every single duel, staging or not. Does anyone actually replay Uncharted 2 as much as this one?
IrenePlayer
No lo he rejugado entero, solo un par de capítulos sueltos, pero comparado con Uncharted 2 el combate me sigue pareciendo más satisfactorio de manejar.
