Awesome action game, great price, buy this now
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
I had heard of the God of War series for several years now but never played them since I didn't own a Playstation 2. Once I picked up a PS3 and saw the low price this game was going for, I decided to give these classic PS2 games a try. This pair of games has to be one of the best deals in all of gaming right now, and if like me you haven't played God of War before you should seriously think about getting this game. These games are pretty gory and violent, so if you're a parent you might not want your younger children playing this game, but it's isn't any more violent than a lot of other popular M rated games currently available. Everything about these games is fantastic. The controls are reasonably simple yet deep enough to add real strategy to this game (mindless button mashing mostly works on lower difficulty levels, and absolutely does not work on higher difficulty levels), and most importantly, are precise. The animation and art in this game are top-notch. While God of War isn't really faithful to its source material, this doesn't really matter, and if the game gets teenagers more interested in reading classical mythology, that's a fantastic side effect of a game which is already lots of fun to play. There is a lot of bonus content which only becomes unlocked after beating the game, some of which requires you to beat the game at the highest difficulty level, so for very serious players there's plenty of challenge to be had here. The graphics have been upgraded from the original PS2 games, although of course these games don't look as good as games which were designed for PS3. Nevertheless, the games are much better than what you would have seen on the PS2, and certainly do not detract from the gameplay experience. It's a bit odd that some of the cut scenes weren't remastered, but this is just a minor issue since these cut scenes are only a minor part of the game. Two awesome games at a really low price make this a great purchase. As if you weren't already getting enough when you buy this game, you also get a code which lets you download the 2009 E3 God of War III playable demo, and of course if you buy this game at Amazon right now you get a 5 dollar credit towards GOW3. Remaking great PS2 games and releasing them on the PS3 for a budget price is a fantastic idea, and hopefully other publishers and developers will follow in SCEA's footsteps and release their own compilations of classic PS2 games on the PS3. ... show more

A Near Perfect Collection to an Incredible Game Series
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
God of War has been near and dear to my heart since I've always loved mythology. God of War excels at making a gripping story around bits of mythology we may or may not remember from high school. The brutal kills and gore, I could probably take it or leave it, but the magic and weapons you acquire are great. They go right to my love of Metroid's game mechanic without ever being overly played out as it can sometimes get in the Metroid games. I love both the God of War games but never finished them when they originally came out. This goes to how challenging they can be at times. Yes, these games do have points in them where they are so challenging that you can easily get frustrated with them. You sit there and ask what kind of masochist designed these games but after you ultimate do get through a point, it's so rewarding. The HD Collection is a great reason to not only to own a PS3, but a reason to actually try and beat the games this time. I already beat God of War for the first time last week and it was great. I'm now doing my best to get all the way through God of War II. If you're into these games and have any reason to pick up a PSP, definitely check out God of War Chains of Olympus. It's just as good if not better than it's big brother games though it does seem to be a bit short. It's probably about 1/3 the size of the other games. It's a shame they didn't include an upscaled version of Chains of Olympus as well. That would be a killer collection. Although you have to hand it to them for putting together the HD Collection in so short of time. Like many of the other reviewers mention, if you're a fan of God of War and haven't played them to death already, you owe it to yourself to get this collection. If you're a new PS3 owner and looking for another great game then pick this one up. Make sure to check out Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Burnout Paradise, and InFamous as well. I need to get back to playing God of War II now in hopes I'll be done before God of War III comes out. I've played the demo and it looks amazing. ... show more

Perhaps the best 'one-two' punch in videogame history?
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
This review is broken up into two parts. The first part is dedicated to God of War I, while the second part is about God of War II. I need to preface this review by saying I've played several of the other God of War games, before playing this one. In fact, I've played all of them except GOW II. The game started off as an amazing 5 star game! Towards the middle, it took a bit of a nose dive for me, but ended on an extremely strong note (as evidenced by my 5 star rating). This is without question the most difficult game I've ever played. Once I stopped whining and decided to step up to the plate (youtube walkthroughs) I was fine and finished the journey. Combat - I know this is an older title, but DAMN the combat is slick! It may be just me, but it seems like the camera is closer to the action than in some of the later GOW games I've played. Kratos appears huge while fighting onscreen, as opposed to having to squint your eyes just to locate him (this was a problem in Ascension). The combos were very easy to execute, and that's saying a lot because I usually suck in that area. I'm normally not that great at blocking incoming attacks, but for whatever reason, I was able to throughout the game. I know this is considered a hack n slash game, but if you're the button mashing type of gamer, you won't have much luck. You'll have to incorporate dodging and blocking into your combat, or prepare to die a ton :-) Weaponry - Technically, Kratos only has two weapons. You'll start off with the blades of chaos (I finally learned the name of those things after 5 GOW games). Later on, you'll acquire a huge sword (my favorite of the two). I didn't mind having only 2 weapons because some games tend to overwhelm you with options, with some of them going unused. I'm not sure if I count magic attacks as weapons, but you'll have 4 completely different ones to use. Hades' souls, Medusa's stone gaze, Zeus' bolts of lightening, and Poseidon's area attack. Enemies - I was pleasantly surprised by the diverse enemy variety, because I wasn't expecting it. When I think of older action games from the PS2 era, I think of repetitive gameplay that features they same enemies over and over, so I was very surprised. Although some of them are quite difficult to defeat, I always felt like I had a chance. Interestingly enough, there were only 3 boss battles. And, all 3 actually FELT like boss battles and were epic in their own right. The final battle (broken up into 3 parts) pretty much sealed the deal and catapulted God of War into that 5 star territory. I'd say it's easily one of the more epic battles I've been involved in. Hell, it was so intense that I was sweatintg bullets and had to take a shower afterwards! Miscellaneous - Here's where I'll discuss a few of my gripes. Remember me mentioning how the game sucked once I reached the halfway point? Well, that's largely due to the absence of autosave and inconveniently placed save points. There are several puzzles in this game! In my opinion, a save point should have been placed right before each puzzle. If you're the type of gamer that has the bandwidth to sit in front of your tv until you solve a puzzle, then you'll be just fine. However, if you're only able to play an hour here, or 30 minutes there, (like me) you're in some trouble! If you turn the game off before finishing some of those puzzles, you'll be met with a surprise when you start up your next gaming session. You will have to start at the last save point, which may place you at that group of enemies you barely got past the first time (before the puzzle, of course). I believe it took me about 14 hours to complete the game. Please keep in mind this includes me dying a lot, and using more youtube walkthroughs than I'd care to mention. I'd normally deduct a star or two for these types of inefficiencies (see my prototype review). But, I'll give this game a break for two reasons. The first being; it's a PS2 game so what the hell should I expect? The second reason being; this is too special of a game and experience to give it anything less than 5 stars. If you're a fan of action games (and haven't played this) and you're thinking about moving on to the PS4, please give this a whirl. I know it's old, but the updated graphics look great and this is one of those games you'll never forget. Wait, one more thing... I only used walkthtoughs for some of the puzzles and stuff like that. I've NEVER used one to aide me in combat. My Amazon street-cred is important, so I want to make sure there's no confusion. God of War II Review So, in a few days I'll be sun-setting my PS3 for good (in favor of the PS4, of course). I wanted to make sure I went out with a `BANG'. It just so happened that I played all of the God of War games except the second. Would this be a classic case of saving the best for last? Combat - The combat is really the same in all of the God of War games. I can't say I enjoyed this combat any more or less than the previous GOW games I've played. If for some reason, you're new to the GOW series, the combat is mostly melee attacks, with some magic attacks sprinkled in to give you other options. There are 4 magic attacks in all, but I only gave a damn about two of them. I mostly used the earthquake one!!! That's the best and most useful magic attack I've seen in quite some time. I also like the bow and arrow for range attacks. One of the other magic attacks (the Medusa/Euryale head) seems to appear in every damn God of War that I've played, and I've yet to use it... I don't remember what the 4th one was, which means I must have not liked it very much. Weaponry - In my opinion, the best choice of weapons reside in GOW II! The main weapon (the blades of Athena) are in every game, so nothing new there. The secondary weapons are what help make this game shine. Along your journey, you'll acquire a hammer, a spear, and a sword. The hammer is big and slow (as to be expected) but it delivers a massive blow, if you're able to connect. Since the hammer is kind of slow, you may get hit before you're able to deliver your blow. You'll use the sword for a bit in the beginning of the game, and you'll be forced to use it at the end of the game. Personally, I don't like the sword and would be perfectly fine if it never appeared in any future GOW games again... Now, to the main course! The Spear of Destiny was nothing short of amazing! Hell, I could argue that I enjoyed using that more so than I did the Blades of Athena. I could use it for melee attacks, as well as ranged attacks (kinda). One of the spear attacks shot out a small burst, that could be incorporated in some pretty fun combos. Enemies - Just like the weaponry, the enemies are the best I've seen in any GOW game. I was very impressed with the variety, as well as the challenge they put up. I felt like I was seeing new enemies every few save points, and I found that to be refreshing. Overall, the best boss battles can be found in GOW III. However, GOW II has a couple of very epic boss battles. I won't give away anything, but one of the bosses is a personal favorite creature of mine, and I think this may be the only videogame it's ever appeared in. Some of the battles are with giants, while other battles are fought with enemies the same size as Kratos, and that makes for a nice mixture. Miscellaneous - The only negative thing I can think of is probably related to some of the puzzles. A few of the puzzles didn't make much sense at all, and I merely kept trying things until something worked. On the contrary, some of the puzzles were quite clever and well thought out. I'm not sure why, but it took me about 24 hours to complete the game, and that's by far the longest time it's ever taken me to get through a GOW title. Maybe I secretly wanted it to last longer, who knows... When compared to the other games, I didn't die a lot. My only guess is that some of the puzzles (the ones that didn't make much sense) required a lot of my time because I refused to go to YouTube for help. Some Amazon reviewers have stated this is the best GOW game in the series. At the time, I thought they were smoking something. Now that I've completed the game myself, I feel like they're correct in their assessment. The added weapons, better enemy variety, and the mixture of boss types all add up to this being the best GOW game out of the six. I'm very proud to say I closed out my PS3 gaming era with this gem. Knack, you're up next! ... show more

Must have Collection
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
I am extremely surprised at how well God of War Collection (GOW) turned out. The developers did an amazing job at remastering the series to high definition. For those unfamiliar, GOW is an action adventure platform game with an emphasis on story, brutality, and extreme battles. The game is set within Greek mythology and follows the classic story telling of Greek Tragedies. All throughout the game you will encounter familiar mythological creatures such as the minotaurs, gorgons, fawns, the hydra, and many more. What's great about the remastering is that the game feels as if it is a completely new game. In fact you could even compare it to recent PSN games available. The graphics has not been changed from the PS2 version but the resolution is upscaled to 720p, with anti-aliasing, and locked at a constant 60fps. These little details surprisingly makes a huge difference to GOW. Fans of the original will remember that GOW was a masterpiece in graphics during the PS2 era, and it still shows a generation later. With anti-aliasing, your eyes will no longer bleed from playing with all the shimmering within the game, a feature you have to endure when playing the original on your PS3 even upscaled. A locked framerate makes the game feel silky smooth, unlike the camera judder and screen tearing you see at times when playing the original. And lets not forget the graphics, it is just amazing a testament at how great the game was on the PS2. Of course the game is not without its fault. With all the adjustments made it is a wonder why the the in game cut scenes were not adjusted to the rest the game. It is left in its original form and if you were wondering how the original game looked, you can always compare from the in game cut scenes. But all in all, the game is pretty amazing. You get two series within one disk, with the price less than a new game, and all the original materials within. I would highly recommend fans to repurchase this version because it is the ultimate version of GOW I&II. New fans to the series should definitely look into this series because GOW encapsulate what extreme epic brutality in an action adventure game should be. ... show more

Kratos...Remastered. Oh How the Gods Tremble...
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
The God of War: Collection contains God of War and God of War II. Both games have been remastered in 720p HD and given full trophy support on the PS3. Both of these titles were PS2 classics and must have titles for anyone into the Action/Adventure games with a mythological twist. With two powerhouse titles remastered on one disk, for those who wish to revisit and enhanced the memories of the PS2 versions, or those who never got to play God of War/God of War II this is a perfect collection to own. GAMEPLAY God of War / God of War II in fact, all God of War games follow the same formula in essence. Kratos gets mad about something and essentially destroys everything in his path. You do not mess with Kratos. The gameplay revolves around taking Kratos through levels which are fairly linear; but this is linear done "right" I think. As you adventure you will find various hidden chests to increase your maximum health or magic (and in GoW II, ability bar as well using Minotaur horns). The gameplay alternates between having to battle enemies, battle enemies arena style and various forms of platforming and puzzle solving. The platforming segments are not harsh at all, but with a static camera angle it has been God of War's weakness from day one. Sometimes you get a really bad angle on jumps or during combat. This isn't a catastrophic problem though as checkpoints are very generous and once the camera gets you, odds are it won't get you again since you are prepared for it now. Puzzles are fairly simple, usually involving timed levers for doors, pressure sensitive switches, pushing blocks around and timed platforming. They are not overly elaborate, and serve to change up the mood of the game. It gives you some downtime to relax after that major battle you just fought against 3 cyclopes. Combat itself is handled excellently. As you gain powers/magic it will get mapped to a controller button, and weapons you acquire also will get mapped. Switching between spells or weapons is fairly easy and only gets easier as the series evolved. Kratos always gets some pretty nice upgrades which tie into the Greek Mythology. Besides fun and fluid combat mechanics with some well thought out platforming/puzzles, what amazed me the first time through God of War was how they managed to take a Linear structure and hide it so well you had no idea you traveled a straight line TWICE. The game always feels new yet circles in on itself multiple times. Pandora's Temple blew my mind, back in 2005, at how the temple essentially was a giant puzzle. It starts locked and as you begin to solve puzzles, fight mobs and access areas the Temple begins to circle in on itself. You revisit some parts two or three times, just able to get that extra inch forward due to a new power. This style is repeated over and over in God of War games and works wonders. Seeing familiar places slowly evolving as you inch closer to your goal is very satisfying and shows just how much effort was put into level design. GRAPHICS For those who played the original titles on PS2 this is the category that makes or breaks the purchase (especially if you still own a PS2 like myself, or a backwards compatible PS3). The graphics upgrade to the game is amazing, in my opinion. While God of War still looks dated and rough, it runs exceptionally smooth in 720p and the cut-scenes look much better this time around. God of War II got the most out of the HD upgrade, with graphics definitely crisping up on all levels. The sharpness of color is improved on both games but the real big plus here is that both games run at a much more stable FPS on top of having the visual upgrades. The gameplay and visuals feel much more fluid with more subtle detail behind them. SOUND/STORY Voice acting in the two games is great. A lot of effort was put into the quality of the voice acting, and the storyline for each game was well written. There is clear direction being set by both games which merge seamlessly with gameplay. Each cut-scene and dialogue segment adds to the story rather than just feeling thrown in. In terms of the storyline and dialogue content, nothing was changed in the remastering, so there is nothing really new to be learned here. REPLAY/LENGTH The original God of War actually has a trophy for beating it in under 3 hours. The game itself can take 2.5 - 4 hrs on Normal/Hard but I was easily able to complete the game in under 2hrs 20mins of game time. God of War is the shortest of the games, especially once you know how to solve the puzzles and master the combat mechanics. God of War II clocks in much longer, at around 7-12 hrs depending on difficulty. Of course doing a speed run on a second playthrough with infinite magic and health you can plow through the game in under 4 hours. Replay value is tough to judge. Both games contain Challenge of the Gods; set trials to test your skills. God of War replay allows you to select new costumes to make gameplay easier a second time through, where as God of War II allows you to flat out cheat by using the hidden Artifacts you find during your quest(this disables trophies however). OVERALL 91% (9.1 / A-) Two premium PS2 titles... remastered in 720p for the asking price of about $10-$15 per game on average (as of 11/6/2011). That's a steal considering you are getting two classic titles from the days of the PS2 given a full remastering in 720p. This is the best these games have ever looked and played. If you are a fan of the God of War series then this is a great collection to have to give some visual upgrades to the games + trophy support. For someone new to the franchise, you won't be disappointed. While both games show their age visually (especially God of War), they make up for it with incredible gameplay and a very interesting take on Greek Mythology. As long as you love Action/Adventure style games and don't mind some puzzles you will not be disappointed. ... show more

PS2 Classics That Hold Up Well!
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
As a long time fan of the God of War series, I was psyched for this collection of two of my personal favorite games with a nice graphical upgrade. God of War 3 was coming right around the corner, and this collection was the perfect way to get me ready to go for the upcoming PS3 release. The gameplay of the God of War series is always brutally efficient. You control Kratos, the God of War, on a quest that fluctuates from rage to redemption and revenge. The entire experience is engineered to allow fast and brutal combat sequences, to allow the player to express his rage against countless hordes of twisted monsters. Right from the get-go you'll feel like a total war machine, stringing together combos and taking enemies out left and right. There's a learning curve here for some of the tougher bad guys in the game, but Kratos has plenty of weapons and techniques at his disposal to overcome these challenges. One of the highlights of the God of War series is always the boss battles. Huge, epic, and brutal - Kratos will have to pull out every trick in the book to take down these monsters. Most boss battles end with a sequence of button presses that you need to execute as they pop up on the screen, while Kratos performs a crazy finishing blow on the boss. These sequences are always completely over the top, and puts a satisfying end onto every boss battle. In summary, you're getting a ton of content here for a budget price. If you haven't played either of these games yet, and they appeal to you at all, then pick them up ASAP. Please note that these games are NOT for the weak of heart or for kids. The action is over the top and very brutal, with tons of blood and gore. There are also some pretty heavily sexual situations, including nudity. ... show more

Okay I am going to make this as clear as I can if you are a fan of god of war, or someone who is new to the franchise, and either have not bought them or even if you have, go by this and I will explain why. Now I am not going to reveal any story elements in case someone reading this has not played it before. I am just going to explain why this is a must purchase for anyone with a ps3. The god of war games are probably one of the best games made for the ps2 and this is because it is just fun. The over the top action to the challenging yet fun puzzles. there is something here for everyone. Another good this about this purchase is the price. $40.00 for not one but two extremely good games that anyone with a ps3 should enjoy. Okay even if you still have doubts, go rent it at least and see what kind of game you are missing. Now I did mention that even if you already own these two that you should upgrade, and I will explain why. The cost is the same as buying the two on the ps2 seperate so it is not that expensive. Also it has upgraded visuals and trophy support. But I will tell you in advance that the in game cutscenes for some reason were not upgraded, but that is no reason to skip this collection. And another good reason for anyone to get this is the bonus that only people who buy this game can get, and it is the god of war 3 demo. I played it and lets just say it has sealed my decision on pre-ordering the third game. So go out and try this and trust me, you will not be sorry. ... show more

God of the Playstation
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
First off, let me say that it has been a long time since I played a game this good. Everything about God of War works and works well. The game is seemlessly integrated. You hardly ever run into load screen (and even then it takes a split second for the game to load). This is an achievement in and of itself. The layering and environments are the best I've seen for the ps1 or ps2. This slash and hack genre of video games doesn't always work. But, the story pulls you in and puts an amazingly original spin on greek mythology. Also, the hit combinations are mind-boggling. There are so many different and cool combos that you will never get tired of legion after legion of enemies. I just finished playing God of War I & II. Before ordering this remastered edition, I had never really looked at GOW. Let me tell you that if you can't decide whether this will be a good investment or not, it 100% is a great investment. I've found myself automatically starting the games over again once I beat them the first time. I can say that for a list of video games I can count on one hand. Anyway, GOW II improves on every possible aspect of the first game (although there was hardly anything you could improve besides of course graphics). I am now a GOW fan for life. They need to make this a movie some day with the right cast! ... show more
