I got it yesterday, and Im at what is probably this game’s big level. Already a ton of stuff has happened; the pacing of this game is frantic. The story moves so fast it’s crazy. There’s very little to break the momentum.
Zeus knocks Kratos from his throne on Olympus (really it’s all Kratos’ fault, but that’s cos Kratos is just so fucking badass), and now Kratos seeks revenge on the Gods who he feels has betrayed him. To do so, he seeks out the sisters of fate. The whole sequence with Zeus and Kratos trading blows one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in a game, as well as the cutscenes that follow it.
It’s sad though, because as I played it, I couldnt help but think that this is it for the PS2. This is the final great game. After this it will be a recepticle for bargin tites and kiddy games until its death. How disappointing. There’s still so much power left in this system as this game proves, and it’s sad to see it getting thrown by the wayside while the current system is in such a sad state.
Anyway, 3 hours in, and it’s a hell of a ride. Fucking buy this game. Now. If you havent played the first one, fucking buy that too.
I should be picking it up sometime after tomorrow (tomorrow’s my bday - free shit =D)
