Does anybody have this game? It's apparently supposed to be the new end-all-be-all for action games. I bought it and played it yesterday. It's pretty cool and all, but I just don't see why everybody else thought it was so great.

It is the end all and the be-all.

And do a search for the Judge Pen thread of the same name.

You shall see the glory of the pagan God of War.

This link is to a cite that lists all the critics reviews. Since not everyone agrees with critics, let me tell you what I think. It's a great game. Not the best I've ever played, but one of the best ever for the PS2. The best graphics that PS2 can handle, brutal and adult game-play, challenging puzzles etc mixed in, but the game is beatable and fun. If you liked Greek Mythology in middle school, then it's a neat story as well.

I think I've figured it out--it's one of two things. Either:

I'm getting old and just don't enjoy video games as much as I used to

OR

I just haven't gotten far enough yet. I only played for an hour or so yesterday. I'm about 5-10 minutes into Athens.

The graphics do kick ass, though.

It's probably a little of both! :p

Seriously, the game really starts to rock after you save the Oracle in Athens and she sends you out to retrieve Pandora's box.

Cool--I'll keep playing and see.

At least 15. Then I tried to kill them. When I found out you can't kill them I went back to bed w/ them 5 more times.

Then I tried to kill them again.

Boobs are so cool. They even rock in the virtual world.

Too bad that was the only sex mini-game in the game. :mad:

Glad I listened to you guys. I played some over the weekend and the ass-kickingness of this game went up several notches.

Just looking at Athens when Ares is trashing the place is friggin' awesome. I'm hooking the PS2 up to the HD bigscreen + surround sound tonight for some sweet God of War playing.

I'm sure that your wife really appreciates this game as much as you do. :D

She's out of town for the week.

Hence the hooking the game up to the big screen.

This game looks REALLY badass w/ progressive scan.

She's out of town for the week, though, so I get all the video game time I want now. This game looks REALLY badass w/ progressive scan.

:mad: :mad: :mad: My big screen isn't HD. But you have to love it when the little lady has to be gone and you can play video games to your heart's content.

Er, uhh, I mean I missed you too, honey. :D

It's a win-win! When she's gone I get all the video games I want. Then she comes home and I get nookie again!

What you need is a hot wife/gf that will play video games with you and then give you nookie. (I love my life sometimes) :cool:

Bastahd. ;) :D :D



That would be pretty sweet. My buddy's wife always plays HALO with us. She even wins her fair share.

But I think I'm stuck w/ what I've got at this point. I'm happy w/ the fact that she lets me play games/get nookie whenever I want to.
