God of War II 2007

Is it still worth playing?

Santa Monica Studio's 2007 third person action game for the PlayStation 2, a sequel to the original God of War that is almost twice as long, with about three times as many boss fights. Combos with the Blades of Athena are joined by secondary weapons, up to four magic attacks and Rage of the Titans, and quick time events finish stronger enemies. Between fights come platforming and puzzles, helped by the Amulet of the Fates, which slows time, the Golden Fleece, which deflects projectiles, and Icarus' Wings, which glide across chasms. It was remastered for the PlayStation 3 in 2009. It holds up now because combat, platforming and puzzles are designed as one adventure.
