6 things I liked and hated in GOW 2.....

[V-Max]

1) That Collosus looks cool, but they pretty much rehashed the Hydra boss fight in the first game. Even that screen-shaking roar that the Hydra does wasn't even changed, I mean wtf?? The colossus does the EXACT same scream! But it's a fucking machine-operated robot, and the hydra is a living, breathing creature...they could've at least made the sound more mechanical---Lazy cunts!

2) Cheap plot twist. Zeus kills Kratos out of nowhere, just to "set up" a new feud and thus, creating the initial plot drive for GOW 2. I mean honestly, in the first game, Zeus was an ally, a helper, even fatherly. But THIS time, they removed his pupils and retinas, and gave him cold, blank white eyes to really make him appear menacing and evil. Even his hair has become a bit more spiky and sharp, resembling the main enemy from last game, Ares. And speaking of Zeus.....

3) They removed the Thunderb0lts! Noooo! Wtf!? Now, Kratos has a generic bow and arrow for a replacement projectile...what the fuck man! That shit belongs in a kiddie game like Zelda, not here! Fuckfarts...Kratos can chuck Zeus's wicked Thunderb0lts in the first game, but they take that away and turn him into fuckin Legolas...Bastards! And speaking of magic.....

4) They rehashed Poseidon's rage, made it weaker by making it hit only 3 people at a time, and now it's called "Rage Of Cronoss". Well Son of A BITCH! Poseidon's Rage was able to hit any opponent in close vicinity! It was arguably the coolest magic attack in the first game! BUT NO, what do they do in the second game? The developers figured "Hey let's change it up this time and make it hit only THREE people at a time, yea that'd make it more interesting" No you dimnuts, it just made a kickass move into pussy! God, what is Kratos, a female now? Did he get a SEX CHANGE after being penetrated by Zeus?? They didn't even bother to change the attack's color! It's still electric blue....was it SO hard to make it red, or purple, or platinum silver? At LEAST make it LOOK different!
Fuck, all his magics are weaker all of a sudden...Man it's no surprise that the Titans lost against the Gods, they had shittier magic!

5) Well, at LEAST SCEA was sensible enough to make wall climbing a little easier. I like the fact that he can now jump gaps during descent, that's useful for cutting time. Ditto for climbing up on ladders. And that "stronger attack" option can't hurt either. Although, I don't care much for that new, slow-paced ceiling climb. It felt like it should've been in the first game that became improved upon in GOW 2. The controls are a bit awkward because of direction changes, and moving around is pretty sluggish.

6) I fucking hate the new Cerberus. Yea they look more fierce, but THIS time they're harder to kill. MUCH harder. Instead of just hitting them enough times to eventually beat them, you have to tear off the first 2 heads, before you can actually vanquish it. So you gotta hit it enough so u can tear off one head by tapping "O" repeatedly, then fight it again like before to weaken it so u can tear off the next head, and so on. That means it takes about 2.5 times longer to kill the fuckers, and that just means more work. The original Cerebus were already a challenge because they breathe fire 3 times while the babies attacked you, so you had to be careful not to let them grow and multiply. But THIS time you REALLY have to make sure none become full grown, while at the same time facing a stronger adult Cerebus.

7) You know it's really funny how same-genre games tend to borrow features from each other and vice versa. Kratos now has a "grapple hook" type move no different from the Dark Prince in Prince Of Persia 3. It's interesting because POP 3 took some elements from the first GOW such as the "Speed kill" system very similar to the "finishing" style moves that Kratos has. The Dark Prince himself was created just to be a counterpart to Kratos's gameplay, because he has a chain-like weapon that functioned like the Blades of Chaos. But if there's anything unchanged I like about GOW 2, it's the simple, fun combat system. His Rage Of The Gods (Now Rage Of The Titan) meter is filled quicker so I can finally unleash the rage more often.

*More to come, as I progress through this game*

Yea I'm sure Kratos and everything that occured in the games are EXACT duplicates of what happened in the Greeky myths.
