[PS2] God Of War 2

Just picked this up about an hour ago. I watched the DVD first (because I'm a special features kind of guy) and there were some pretty interesting things on there like the concept art and lost levels. (Pretty much some of the same stuff that was on the first game)

I got a chance to play just a few minutes of it before I turned it off before heading to bed and I really enjoy what I've played so far. The game looks so much better than the first. I can already tell that this is going to eat away at alot of my time.

Upon further playing, this game is simply amazing. From what I understand the beginning of the game is about like the demo. (I think in the first demo you could kill the Hydra, but not really sure about that.)

The story just picks up after the first one where there's a war raging and Kratos goes down to finish it. You have a couple of weapons and powers left over from the first game but then it just gets awesome when

Spoiler:

Athena takes some of Kratos' power and transfers it to the Titan/Colossus

Then it just gets better as

Spoiler:

When Kratos has problems trying to slay the Titan, Zeus then offers Kratos the Sword of Olympus and tells him to put all his power into the sword to defeat the Titan

from there it's just one wild ride after another.

Spoiler:

Especially when Zues kills Kratos and tells him that he will never be ruler of Olympus

I'm actually stuck at a puzzle and it is pissing me off, bad.

Spoiler:

After you get Pegasus and fly around, slashing Gryffons and all that, you get to a Titan who knocks you out of the air and his hand slams on pegasus, trying to crush it. You have to figure a way to get the Pegasus out. It involves hitting his hands, but if you stop attacking each finger, then the finger slams back down. It's really annoying me and pissing me off.

I've tried to contain everything that could be a huge spoiler in tags :P

I can't wait to play some more of this game, really.

I might actually try to write an FAQ for this or something once I start playing it and knowing what to do.

How ya doing, buddy?

I just keep hoping a certain Herculian hero makes an appearance. And it would freaking rock if Kevin Sorbo did the voice. If anyone can give Kratos a run for his money....

Spoiler:

Cam Clarke is the voice. :P (I read it in the booklet )

Woke up about 3 am and decided to play a little bit more. I got Typhon's Bane and to the next area before stopping. Heh I want to savor my time playing this. :P

Most amazing jew boots
