Our thoughts on God of War for the Playstation - PS2

Today we went out to Woden for a bit of shopping and came across EB Games who just happened to have a sale on and it was a good one! Up to 50% off a good majority of the games and 20% off peripherals.

We couldn’t resist it and had to go in for a look. Wanda had her arms full with games while wandering around the shop but ended up putting a few back as we finally made it to the checkout. I ended up only buying Sims2 Pets for the DS while Wanda walked out with the same plus Prey for the XBox 360 and Sims2 Pets for her PC.

We also managed to find God of War for the PS2 at Big W which is the first edition in the series. We already have God of War 2 which is simply brilliant so thought we would check the first one out to see if it matched the quality of this one.

Well we weren’t disappointed. It is as good as God of War 2 although perhaps the graphics of the first one are not quite up to the quality of the GOW2 but this is only minor consideration as the game play is gratifying. The controls are slightly different, which means we tend to get killed a little more often until we get used to using the different buttons.

Since the first God of War is about a third cheaper than God of War 2 we definitely recommmend it to anyone wanting a really cool and reasonably priced PS2 game. By the way, it is also backward compatible with the PS3 assuming you have uploaded the updates from the internet into your system.

As we have previously mentioned we have the PS3 which is a brilliant gaming platform, so it is really gratifying to be able to pick up the PS2 games for a fraction of their original price and yet be able to play them on the PS3.
