God of War 1 vs. God of War 2: A look at how the Graphics Improved

PS2 News from N4G | God of War II

PS2 - God of War II - God of War 1 vs. God of War 2: A look at how the Graphics Improved

Gamespot.com reports:

"God of War II may use the same engine as the original God of War, but that doesn't mean the graphics are the same. The game development team was able to polish up the graphics and design more ambitious levels for the sequel. When asked to describe the graphical improvement, God of War II director Cory Barlog told GameSpot, "It's a huge difference. It's not as huge as in a generational difference where people say look at PS2 versus PS3, but Kratos, the model of Kratos in one and the model of Kratos in two, in God of War II is astounding--the quality difference."

Critical Reception: Sony's God of War II

PS2 News from N4G | God of War II

PS2 - God of War II - Critical Reception: Sony's God of War II

This week's edition of the regular Critical Reception column examines online reaction to Sony's God of War II, sequel to one of the highest-selling and best-received titles in the PlayStation 2's software library.

Few doubted that this highly anticipated sequel would fail to live up to the standards set by the original 2005 release, and thus far, Gamerankings.com has yet to receive a single God of War II review scored below 90%. Currently, the game averages a review score ratio of 95% among all sources cited.

GameSpy's Gabe Graziani is confident that God of War II earns a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars, even when considering the many strengths of its prequel. "How could God of War II possibly live up to the successes of its predecessor?" he asks. "The answer, my friends, is astonishing, because GoW II completely eclipses its forefather by adding even more of the stuff that we loved, namely: blood, puzzles, cinematic presentation and fifteen minute long combos."

God of War II week, day 3: goresplosion

PS2 News | God of War II

Are there any two words in the English language more beautiful than "arterial spray?" Kratos doesn't seem to think so. Over the course of God of War II, the Spartan murder machine continues his unending quest to raise the bar for videogame gore by killing everything he meets in brutal and horrific ways. Whether it's being quickly smashed to pieces against a concrete walkway or spectacularly strangled, gutted and bashed through a window at the same time, nobody who gets in Kratos' way gets off ...

PS2 - God of War II - Kratos chariot crashes at God of War 2 premier

At the PlayStation Store in San Francisco this evening, SCEA put on a decent show for the midnight launch of the highly-anticipated God of War 2 game for the PS2.

One thing that didn't work out so well, however, was the Kratos-laiden, horse-drawn chariot - which crashed into the sidewalk right in front of everyone. It really was a classic sight.

God of War confirmed for PSP, hinted for PS3

PS2 News | God of War II

Few games are so eagerly anticipated that retailers order 1.1 million copies to have ready and waiting on day one - but few games enable you to rip the eyeball from a cyclops ocular socket with your bare hands like God of War II does, so perhaps its no shock after all. It should also come as little surprise that Game Director Cory Barlog confirmed at a press conference today that a PSP God of War is definitely in the works. The developer wasnt announced, but given the fact that Daxter ...

Let the SixAxis rumble rumors begin

PS2 News | God of War II

God of War II director Cory Barlog has dropped a heavy hint that the PS3 SixAxis will be given a rumble feature in the future. It's amazing what can come from a launch party of a videogame. 1up reports that Barlog let slip a few interesting things about the future of the God of War series (which will obviously hit PS3 at some point). Here's the clip: "Did Barlog just confirm that God of War 3 will be in 1080p with SixAxis and VIBRATION functions on PS3? He sure did! Whoa! Well, technically he ...

PS2 - God of War II - Sony, Kratos Dominate GameFly Charts With God of War II

This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending March 9, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart.

Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for the Xbox 360 ranked as the second most requested title on the week's all platform chart, followed by Electronic Arts' Def Jam Icon. These two titles ranked as the top two requested Xbox 360 titles for the week, while Microsoft's sandbox action game Crackdown rounded out the console's chart in the third position.
