God of War was naturally a DMC clone, but nevertheless stood its ground and forged its own identity.

It's poetic, and was built like an epic, with some of the best environmental design and set-pieces that Sony had on its rampage with the Playstation 2.

While most view God of War as needlessly violent, its extreme parts complements the ever so often humane parts of Kratos. Quite cheap, maybe, but still impactful, storytelling wise.

God of War is worthy of its praise. There's some frustrations here and there with the puzzles and possibility of being infinitely staggered. However, it's certainly a strong contender in PS2's catalogue, except for one thing. God of War 2 existed.
