I spent the entire afternoon today completing and replaying God of War 2 - the sequel to one of the best video games of 2005. In terms of game mechanics, the game addresses the issues that many players complained in the first game, which is a little too hard and kind of frustrating for new players. Some, including those who spent lot of time going through at the first try were reluctant to try again in a different challenge mode, and hence this game fixes it.
It is a little shorter than the first game and according to producer Cory Balrog, the game takes an average of 14 hours to complete. To make this game a high re-playability one, I can play with a bonus mode which includes carrying over weapons and stats at the end of the first round of game. Secondly, I can use a few more modes include infinite magic, 10 fold experience points, weapon casting Gorgon magic and of course the infinite Berserk mode. Some of the monsters in the game do involve the ones not included in the first God of War game mainly due to theme or time constraints.
Sony managed to get numerous celebrities to voice their supporting characters in the game, which includes Linda Hunt as Gaia, Harry Hamlin as Perseus and of course Michael Clarke Duncan as Atlas, previous voice-over experience was the role of Hawk Parsons in Soldier of Fortune game.
True to the word, I am playing the second round of the game, and I clocked around 9 hours, with max 6 hours per session as to let the PS2 machine cool down and I discovered that in story mode of the game, I completed 80 percent of the game so far. I also tried the bonus challenges which includes wacky ones including killing people in air, shatter enemies only, cyclops eyes challenge and a variety of things. But keep in mind though that the challenges are essential if you are to unlock various bonuses included together.
But the more I used those tools of destruction, I think I am getting itched to whack more baddies - but this does not involve human beings...but instead Greek monsters you can imagine.
