God of War: Collection Review
I have played video games on and off starting with Mario and Sonic then a long hiatus without a super Nintendo I played my PS one a bit and enjoyed mostly racing and fighting games. Waited over a year or maybe two to finally buy my ps2 played more fighting games. I bought the PS3 at launch and played a couple of games but as an adult of 25 years at the time of the ps3 launch who was constantly working video games didn't really fall into my realm of importance. I play Marvel comics properties as I am a comic fan for life but decided to give God of War a try in December as the price was right and I had been hearing about these games for years.
All I can say is I was hooked almost instantly, the graphics didn't bother me for a ps2 era games and the re-done scenes really add to the updating of the games. I played this game constantly until completed and although it is slightly repetitive it never bothered me because of the awesome stories. I guess this could be me conforming to the mainstream but I have never considered myself a gamer because I view it as a waste of time that could be more constructively spent doing better things. I found the difficulty of this game frustrating at times but satisfying once I finished a task as I didn't use any kind of hints online and I found the puzzles challenging and very fun to solve if they were actually difficult. I'm sure if you are sitting around playing games 24/7 this was not big deal but as someone who does not make games a priority this was a very satisfying 30 dollars spent which led to me actually purchasing GOW3 upon release which I will say I have never done with a video game. I think there is re-playability in the bonus challenges and I'm sure before I'm dirt in the ground I will play all of these through at least once again. Buy it or rent it and I'm sure unless you are just completely uninterested or a game snob you'll love it.

God of War: Collection Specifications
A must-have for action/adventure fans on the PlayStation 3 platform, the God of War Collection features both PlayStation 2 single player classics, God of War and God of War II. Remastered in high definition and re-released for play on the PS3 this collection allows both longtime fans of the series and those coming to it new to indulge in the addictive action and puzzle-solving fun of taking on the gods ruling the world of ancient Greek mythology.
The God of War series, made up of God of War and God of War II, featuring the brutal yet tortured anti-hero Kratos, engrossing storylines based in Greek mythology, over-the-top addictive action and puzzle-solving gameplay and simple controls is often referred to as one of the best, and/or most popular single player action games series ever made for PlayStation 2. The truth in this can be seen in the fact that in an era dominated by more advanced game consoles, fans of the franchise who have held on to their PS2's still revisit these two games from time to time, while gamers who missed their initial releases are tempted to give them a try, even though they have moved on to a PS3. Regardless which side of this you find yourself on the God of War Collection holds something for you. Released in advance of the highly anticipated God of War III, the first game in the series developed for the PS3 platform and rumored to also be the last overall, this collection allows players to properly prepare themselves for the final chapter in the adventures of Kratos, entirely through their PS3. The GamesGod of War Unleash the power of the gods and embark on a merciless quest as Kratos, an ex-Spartan warrior driven to destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with the lethal double chainblades known as the Blades of Chaos, Kratos must carve through mythology’s darkest creatures — including Medusa, Cyclops, the Hydra and more, while solving intricate puzzles in breathtaking environments. Driven by pure revenge, nothing can stop Kratos from achieving absolution. Over time, Kratos becomes the most vicious warrior in Ancient Greece and bathed in blood to a point where he can't bare it anymore and sets out on a journey to kill Ares. However, the only way to destroy Ares is to find Pandora's Box, which is located in a temple that's perched upon a hill and guarded by traps, puzzles, enemies, etc. The story is told as a flashback of three weeks prior to where the opening movie cutscene starts and then sets the stage for the game. God of War II God of War saw Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic quest to dethrone a god. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II, Kratos, the once mortal warrior turned ruthless god, sits atop his throne on Olympus, and is a threat far worse than his predecessor Ares had ever been, striking down anyone who crosses his path, or the path of his beloved Sparta. Filled with power and rage, the "Ghost of Sparta" sets out to alter that which no mortal or god has ever changed — his fate. Facing mythical characters, all bent on preventing him from reaching his goal, Kratos' journey brings him to the very edge of the Earth. But this is Kratos, and his defiance is filled with such arrogance and contempt that all of the ancient world still trembles at his name: Kratos, The God of War. Key Game Features
