In Kratos We Trust
by Matthew Walker

The wait has been forever, or at least it feels that way. When Sony Computer Entertainment unleashed Kratos on our violence-deprived minds, we had no idea how long God of War would quench our thirst for spilled blood and massive, beautiful button mashing combos. Repeated play-through built upon our hopes and dreams for a new installment of the hero that does whatever it takes to get the job done. We waited for the announcement of the second part of the new God of War, and then we waited with baited thumbs for the last great title of PS2. The wait is finally over.

We rejoin Kratos a few years after the end of the God of War, and the Gods are displeased. Kratos' reign as the new God of War has been bathed in constant blood flow. His constant defiant acts against the laws of Zeus have enraged the god of gods. At the start of the game Kratos has guided his Spartan army to Rhodes for its slaughter. Athena warns Kratos that his tyrannical bloodthirsty wars must end, for she can no longer protect him from the wrath of the other gods. Kratos, as cocky and arrogant as ever, dismisses her pleas and descends upon his latest battlefield. It is here that the legacy of an immortal god starts to unravel. It is here that the trickery of Zeus begins and you will be so wrapped up in the moment of the game you may not see it coming yourself. Ultimately, our god is no longer a god, and Kratos' anger runs deep with betrayal and will once again challenge a god as a mortal only this time he is going after the ruler of Olympus himself, Zeus.

However, Kratos will not do it alone. Aid will come with an interesting new ally, but it will not just be one that will please the Greek Mythology enthusiasts among us. In fact, this is one of the strong points of God of War II. While the first had a few strong elements of Greek Mythology, this time around we are drenched in it. You will encounter characters ranging from Pegasus and Prometheus to Perseus and Icarus. You will discover the birth of Olympus, and the full story of the Titans. SCEA intertwined their God seamlessly into the storylines of mythology seamlessly. When playing the game you may feel as if you are getting a Greek Mythology lesson along with your heavy dose of bloody action.
