GOD OF WAR (Playstation 2)

I like to note here that I have finished another game last week on Playstation 2.

The game was 'God Of War'. (http://www.godofwargame.com/) It is an action adventure RPG game with beautiful graphics but with a lot of gore, blood and violence. Definitely not for the kids.

However, it was voted the Best Action Game in 2005 by www.ign.com.

The game tells a story of Kratos, a Spartan Army Commander who fought for Sparta.He is very influential commander who can ask his armies to kill without mercy any enemies of sparta.

All was good until his army met the barbarians who were too many for the Spartan Army to handle.Out of desperation, Kratos begs Ares, the God of War to help save his life. In exchange, he will be a royal servant of God Ares.

So, Ares helped him defeat the barbarians and made him wore the Chain of Chaos as a reminder that Kratos serves Ares.From then, Kratos fight for Ares and destroy anyone who do not pray to God Ares.No one can stand in the way of Kratos and his army until one day.

The fateful day was when he was burning down a village and entered into the village temple that serve a different God than Ares.Amongst those in the temple were his wife and child.Since he was slashing his way through, he accidently killed his own family members.This fate change his life and he began to hate God Ares.

So, the game starts from that point on in his quest to kill God Ares for the death of his family.

For those who has not played God Of War, get it and you will enjoy it. For those who has finished it, let us start with the next game, God of War 2.

A detailed explanation of the game is in this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_War_%28video_game%29)
