The highly anticipated sequel is encompassing the entire gaming world with brutal carnage, bloody battles and receiving effusive reviews from various sites. However, the criticism lies always nearby, so some harsh critics have taken this game as well at aim, calling it a sex-prone game, having some adult content containing some nudity. Overall, the game is doing well with selling more than 833,000 copies in March.

Game-Plot:

Like prequel, the whole story of the game revolvers around Kratos that was known the 'Ghost of Sparta' and 'Champion of Ares' sometimes, but now the new God of War.

In this way, the story of the God Of War II progresses and touches the new heights of agility.

The game comes with a great smoothness as there is hardly any down time as we play the game. From the very beginning of the game, you are constantly forced to jump into fighting a giant colossus in frequent stages amidst foes on the battleground.

Every step, Kratos go on battling tons of enemies, most of them are familiar that you have played a lot in the last game.

Unlike the original which only had a few boss battles, there's regular clashes with bosses that are usually multiple moded. However, it's hard to explain the game in few hundred words, but if you get your hands on the game, you'll discover the essence of the game.
