Looks amazing. And yeah, looks like a must-buy...

Man, I have too many PS2 games to play: GOW 2, Bully and Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007.

 

At this rate, I'm never going to be playing with the PS3.

Case in point: the PS3 is here but I spent most of last couple of days trying to finish "Castlevania: Curse of Darkness" instead of playing "Resistance"...

 

Sony should have waited and made this a PS3 game

 

The PS3 is destined to remain with crap games for eternity. Let us owners suffer and lament about wasted money.

 

I stopped playing God of War after I got stuck trying to swim. Stupid spikes push me until I die.

 

Don't give up man, it's all about timing. The game gets better and better, so you should really jump back into it.

To Silver's statement, they are making GOW 3 already for the PS3. The original creator is working solely on that (GOW 2 was made by his colleague who worked on #1).

 

Keep trying.

To be honest, this game is not so bad if you've finished Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox.

 

GOW was/is the greatest game I ever played on the PS2. I hope II is 3 times as long and just as difficult. Pre-ordering this one definitely

 

Has the PS3 version been confirmed? If so what is the release date?

Because as soon as Sony saw that God of War was a hit they should have thrown all their resources at having a PS3 version available at launch, but we can chalk that up to another Sony flub.

 

As far as I know, there is no GoW game announced for the PS3...

 

Damn, 2 isn't out for another month.

 

There has been no "official" announcement, but the creator stated that he needed more time to get his head around the PS3. That is why GOW 2 did not come out for PS3, he wanted to see what the PS3 had to offer and then make GOW 3 for it, which according to EGM, is currently underway.

 

<--- Can't wait for the release!

 

Even thought I can't wait to play this game, but they should have done what Nintendo did to zelda. Like port the ps2 version over and allow it to be seen in 1080p plus extra features and what not on 1 blue ray disc and do not release the ps2 version a month later... You know that could actually help it sell more ps3.

 

Played the demo that Gamestop handed out, the boss battle.

Wow

that is all



(7 more days )

 

Counting down with yah!

 

i hear they may be working on a psp version

 

So my wife knows I have been waiting for this game to come out. She's almost 9 months pregnant and she ran out this morning to Gamestop to get it because she thought it was out today, but its only out tomorrow What a woman

 

^ Nice...and that's why she's a keeper and the Missus.

 

I replayed GOW in the last month just to prep myself for the sequel...turns out Hard was pretty simple, since I knew all the right combos. I gave up when I fell into Hell not because the monsters were too strong but because I kept jumping off the platforms and dying . Trust me, you can only listen to Kratos scream so many times.

BTW, Ninja Gaiden is still the hardest game I've ever played. And what I really want is a Shadow of the Colossus 2....that was one of the most novel games I've ever played.

 

About 2 weekends ago, I popped this in on a Saturday night and played thru the whole game again. I friggin love this game. Once in a while, ICO will see rotation also. 2 classics I will never get rid of.

GOW was gonna come out also, but I am still playing Okami, which is great also if you haven't played it yet.

 

i have heard shadow of the colossus is similar to god of war? wat's the story? Is it action or rpg?

 

Nope, 2 totally different games. Shadow of the Colossus is basically 16 boss battles. You do no other fighting in the game. You start each battle searching for the Colossi in the huge world. Then you have to figure out how to kill each one. Sounds boring, but you really have to play it to appreciate it. The ending is awesome as well

 

i played a little bit of it. wasn't too fond of it. but it's pretty crazy as to the scale of the boss fights.

because the bosses are so huge, you have to use strategy and such to take 'em down right? (such as having to climb up the monster's fur to get to the top of it and such).

 

Each one has 'weak points', but they can be anywhere. Some even have more than one and you have to find all of them. Its just a great game to look at. I beat the game in less than 8 hours, so its real short, but its so much fun to play. The last boss is a little sucky, but its still a pretty cool fight. The ending alone is worth playing if you have played ICO.

 

I want to play this

 

I havent played the first one, but I wish this was coming out on ps3. I guess they wanna wait until they really know how to use the ps3's power

 

I got God of War II today and im stuck already. but other wise its freaking awesome. Better graphics than the first and combos are sweet too.

 

Does anyone know how to run the PS2 in progessive scan mode? What do I need to do this? Reason I ask is after reading game reviews, it says the games look better when running in progressive scan. I can't figure out how to do it

Errr...yeah

 

So, did anybody get it? This game is sick. Its like crack, same as the first one. I am 3 hours in and it flew by. Any other reviews?

 

Word man! Am 4 hrs into it. It is like crack!!!

 

15 hours into it and still goin strong! i wanna try that colossus game too, but for now this is def like crack! anyone stuck?

 

Beat the game already...had it for 2 days. Yes the time does fly by.

Where are you stuck? The puzzles in this one are no where near has complicated as the original.

 

Shadow of the Colossus is a great game. The scale of some of the Colossi is insane. Definately a great game, but it can also be very frustrating...

 

is it more puzzle or more action? I loved the action/puzzle element of god of war...btw, has anyone seen www.islandofrhodes.org? wtf is this supposed to be? according to sony, it has to do with something special for the first God of war...

 

It's more action. The puzzle part is trying to figure out how to take down the colossi....the first one is pretty easy but they get progressively harder.

Can get frustrating at times.

 

coolness. I'm running out to get it after work today...I hear that it's easily beatable in a day though...and how long do you really run around between colossi? some reviews say hours, some say like 30m...i'm gonna get it either way...would just like to know what to expect...lol...does this count as a hijack? my bad if it does...moer on the thread topic though...the end of god of war 2 was so awesome yet so disappointing...

 

The first run through will take you about 12-15 hours. My second run was under 8 hours. It can get frustrating when you cant find the next collosi, but the frustration goes away as soon as you see the next intro. They are awesome. Have you played ICO? If not, I suggest playing that as well. It came out when the PS2 first came out, so you can probably get it for like 5-10 bucks, well worth it
