As a warning, I took a point off for the ludicrously difficult Titan mode. My friend bought this a while ago and I was literally on the edge of my seat the moment the action began! GoW 2, as well as the entire GoW series, is fantastic, a thrill to play from start to finish. First off, the story is the starting point of an adventure that will determine the fate of Olympus itself, revolving around the protagonist's (Kratos) thirst for vengeance. Saved from death by Gaia, Mother of Earth, he must go to the Sisters of Fate to return to when Zeus (the villain) betrayed and killed him. What could be a better plot for the second installment of the GoW series? I could never think of a better one! Secondly, the environment. From the city of Rhodes and the mountain of Typhon to the grand Palace of Fates and the Titan Atlas, the worlds of this game are truly magnificent. The boss battles are equally brilliant. My favorites so far have been the Colossus, Kraken, Euryale the Gorgon, the Sisters of Fate and Perseus. The fights were just climatic. And of course, Kratos himself is as great as ever. His personality makes him one of my favorite video game characters of all time.
