God of War PS2

In excellent condition, original packaging

Action adventure games of the quality of God of War don't come around often. God of War takes a tale of vengeance, set against the backdrop of ancient Greek mythology, and turns it into an epic adventure filled to the brim with bloody, stylish, over-the-top combat, challenging puzzles, and highly impressive production values. So many games within the action adventure genre tend to limit their focus so heavily to either the combat or puzzle-solving side, while leaving the opposing side as little more than an afterthought, but God of War does nothing of the sort. Instead, it blends these two equally important parts extremely well. To put it in no uncertain terms, this is one of the best action adventure games on the PlayStation 2, and it should not be missed.

Meet Kratos, one of the meanest yet most sympathetic antiheroes you'll ever meet.

• Lots of challenging yet not impossible puzzles  
• Kratos is a highly entertaining antihero, and the story constructed for him works brilliantly
