I absolutely love this game. Specifically, God of War Collection, the upscaled-to-HD version. I have been playing it since Xmas off and on, and I'm almost done, but my girlfriend hates watching me play. HAAAAATES. So I try to do it when she's gone, or in the shower or something. It makes for good comedy.
Anyway, what I really love about the game is Greek mythology in a dark context, as it was intended originally. I love to see how GrecoRoman gods are depicted in modern media, and this game does it well. No doubt I'm gonna play the sequel as soon as I'm done with the first one, cause it's part of the collection, and eventually I'll buy numbah 3.
Also worth noting is the gameplay itself. It feels like you have more freedom than you really do, the game has a linear path you follow, but there's enough twists, fights, puzzles, and backtracking to make it feel very sandboxy.

I've played the first one. I blame it for my first broken PS2 controller. It was a really fun game. I'm more of a Norse or Egyptian mythology person, myself, but I do like Greek as well. Kratos is a badass.

If you like God of War try Dante's Inferno. It's wicked as hell and it's basically God of War in a different story.

I actually played the Dante's Inferno demo, and was really impressed! It is a God of War clone, control-wise, though I love the Divine Comedy in general, and GoW's controls are perfect for that type of game anyway, so I say bring it on!
And for the record, Norse and Egyptian mythology are also really cool. It's just mythology in general that gets me pumped, I guess.

On an unrelated note... anyone wanna donate a copy of final fantasy XIII to yours truly?

Finished the first one. I'm gonna play through FF13 as much as I can stand before starting GoW2, and I'm trying to finish my playthrough of Earthbound.
