So who's getting it? I played through the first game last year and enjoyed myself immensely. However, I didn't love it so much that I could avoid some of its flaws. God of War really was never meant to be a platforming game, but the developers kept trying to shoehorn jump mechanics into it. There was one segment in particular that had you jumping toward the camera that was just annoying. I don't know why they couldn't have just turned the camera around at that point so you could see where you were going.

That said, I pre-ordered God of War 2 and played through the demo. I can't say the demo makes me hopeful that the developers fixed the issues I had with the first game, but it will still be a worthwhile buy. Anybody else with me?
