God of War II got 9.7 on IGN, and now 9.2 from Gamespot

[Q]

Cannot wait for this game...wow.

God of War II may in fact be the best action game ever made. It outdoes the original God of War in every way, even if only by a tiny bit as the first was so good to begin with. It's an evolutionary step rather than a revolutionary leap, but it has basically perfected the formula that the original set up. If you own a PlayStation 2 (or PS3) and don't mind excessive amounts of blood, you absolutely must play this game. If you don't own a PS2, find someone who does and sit yourself down in front of their TV for 12 or so hours as you'll otherwise be missing out on one of gaming's most intense and engaging experiences available.

Ughhh button mashers...

I never did get to play the first one but heard lots of good things. I can imagine this one will only be better from the sounds of it. :thumbsup:

Wow, you really really need to try it, you'll be addicted. It's an amazing story as well, also has good puzzles and great fighting system (and small RPG elements)

Hahah I know. My friend just got a PS2 and I think she's gonna pick up God of War next week. So I think I'll finally be able to play it.

First one was great. Too bad I sold my PS2 long ago. I only have a 360 now.

I played the demo and I'm guessing this will be one of the best games I've EVER played. Absolutely fantastic.

Wow, yes you do

 

[blurredvision]

I've heard many a good thing about this series so far. I'm not about to buy a PS2 or PS3 to play it, though. IGN did that review a freaking month ago, though, not sure what the deal on that is.

 

[ungsunghero]

Wow...when I first saw this game, I wasn't all that impressed.

I guess I better go rent the game and try it out.

man, the first game, while amazing, was just... realllllllllly depressing!

 

[Inspector Jihad]

i hope this game runs well on my shiny new ps3

Lol, kinda, but it had a great story

I've got the first one in the basement somewhere. I got frustrated when the archers kept blowing up the crate so I stopped playing.

I give up easily.

If it's anything like the first one it is awesome. I'm already buying the second one no matter what.

No PS3 version = BOOO

 

[Reckoner]

too much effort to hook up the ps2
