In truth this game can be kind of boring but its hard "on vetrain" and tests what you got. you cant call your self a gamer unless you beat god of war. i meen yes there are harder games out there but not with an epic story line like this.
dud i bought this for my duaghter she hated it god of war was just too boring and too hard the only thing good about this bundle is the controller

Well I can see your disappointment with the game if the person you purchased it for was not enthralled by it. However, to say it was a "Dud" is a serious statement... FACT: This particular series is was in large part one of the reasons the Playstation 2 was able to remain a staple of the gaming industry for several years after its intended life span. It is also one of a limited few reasons the Playstation was able to maintain a significant share of the gaming marketshare after XBox 360 and Nintendo's DS's early start in the "next Gen" console/handheld wars. I'll admit the level of violence and adult content is far beyond most other action titles... but that would have have been recognized quickly by it's "M" Rating. Opinion: In terms of story, gameplay, action and the sheer epic magnitude of the protagonists journey, this game is quite simply a work of art... To be placed along side mythological epics such as the Iliad, The Odessey, Jason and the Argonuats, Clash of the Titans. Had this story been written into a novel first it would have no doubt been Best Seller. It contains all of the requirements of a classic Greek Tragedy. Some of the "Aries!!!" cries can get a bit annoying but they are a minor setback in anotherwise PERFECT storytelling experience. The graphics are stellar; particularly in GOW II, which pushed the PS2 to its limits in terms of visuals. GOW III was a breakthrough in next gen graphical possiblities and raised the bar for all other titles after it (from any console).
Again I'm sorry that your daughter did mot enjoy it... but when it come to gaming it is truly a matter of "What floats your boat". Yet, my disinterest in art does not give me the right to tell others that the "Parthenon is an ugly pile of rocks", "the Mona Lisa was a waste of paint" or that the cieling of the Sistine Chapel must have been painted by a blind man. To do so is a diservice to all those artists, patrons who admire those works and consider them to be among the greatest achievments of man.
So goes for Kratos and his monumental journey which spans 5 games (soon to be six) nearly a decade of work and millions of dollars both spent and earned.
