There was a second one that used the original planned GoWII plot. They also got bundled together on PS3. They were really impressive for PSP games but likely dont hold up outside it. I am interested in the discussions that will be had when you get to GoW2018 regarding the characterisation of Kratos. Hmm, yeah, I can see them just seeming like slightly-downgraded versions of a normal God of War game if you went back to them now. It feels a little weird for this game's story to be so "reliant" on side-games a lot of people might have missed, but I guess that's common enough for video games. It's no Kingdom Hearts in this respect, and it's at least pretty easy to understand what's going on without having played those games. I'll be curious too see how I like Kratos in the new version too. From what little I do know about it I think I'll like him better as a character. I've seen a couple of clips from that game where he acts more like an actual person. --- If I was a bit underwhelmed by what this game does with Hades, that's nothing compared to how it uses Helios. You don't actually fight the guy, really - you shoot one arrow from a ballista at his chariot, a titan crushes him like a fly, and then you run over and finish him off while he's lying wounded on the ground, after he says something about the plot of the PSP games again. This doesn't really do justice to the idea of fighting a God, imo. Kratos tears off Helios' head, which still emits magical light, and then you play a dark level based around using it to see where you're going. It also uncovers secret areas for you sometimes. Last time I forgot to mention that Kratos also killed Gaia. After he gets out of the underworld she shows up hanging onto a cliff with one wounded hand and he cuts her down so she falls. I guess he's fighting the Titans as well as the Gods now, since the same one who helped him kill Helios tries to crush Kratos when he sees him. Hermes shows up next. I always liked him when I was reading about Greek Mythology as a kid, although I couldn't really tell you why. He might be my favorite character in these games too so far. He just runs away while saying mean things about Kratos to hurt his feelings. I guess it's nice to see someone who's not just completely serious all the time in these games. I stopped just after his introduction. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020! Games Completed: 17/129 Currently Playing: God of War III <cite>Evillordexdeath posted [p:950784335] in Exdeath Pl...
