Closing Comments
If you're not yet sold, you likely never will be. Attempting to summarize God of War in this little space also feels like it'd be an injustice, so I'll not even bother trying anymore.
Purchase it, rent it, borrow it, whatever it. Just play the game. Just beat the game.
IGN's Ratings for God of War (PS2)
9.5 Presentation
Everything except the painfully obvious text prompts is great. Ditch those the next time around or suffer my wrath.
10 Graphics
Top of its class. The only thing more impressive than God of War's technology is God of War's art.
10 Sound
All of the sound could have been a part of Return of the King and it still would have won Oscars.
9.5 Gameplay
The platforming elements need to take hints from Sands of Time and the puzzles could do with a little more thought and a little less block pushing. Everything else is nearly perfect.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Hey other developers! See all that wacky crap that opens up after you beat GOW? See how it's all candid and fluff free? Yeah, now you suckers do that, too.
9.8 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
