PlayStation 2 is one of the most important game consoles, because of which current Triple-a scene Born. Third-party giant Resident Evil and Monster Hunter Get a shape here, and the console's first-party lineup has made its creators in A-Tier names.
Never look more than the original God of war, Only 20 years old. Santa Santa Santa Monica's hack-and-slash title was quite impressive in the day, helped by an attractive demo that fell to players in action right away and showed them what was about: slinging blades, killing everything in sight, and ending mythological creatures in a more ugly way. At that point in PS2's life, the big console action game is Devil may cry, And while there are some overlaps in terms of style and ridiculous -laughs, Kratos's adventure appealed to another (but perhaps equal children) audience.
So the players fell in love God of war, and thus a franchise was born. Sony Santa Monica led the charge of major installations such God of war iii—The became 15 earlier in March – or the more recent Norse Duology, while the late ready at dawn made spinoffs like Olympus chains and Ghost of Sparta, who built Kratos' life before and between the first two games. Despite a general quality quality, it eventually felt that the two studios were trying to milk the franchise for it all worth. (And if you haven't tested you, the failed to go to a movie adaptation will do it.) By the time 2013's Climbing Roll around, Kratos seems to have no gas in the tank, despite III's Ends indicating that he can (and want) back to kill again.

For many times the PlayStation's first-party lineup is focused on cinematic greatness, this particular series is achieved more frequently (and has more fun) than most. From the battles against the titans and dragons, to the one-on-one brawl Against the gods playing like the love son of Shonen Fights and wrestling match, the series is full of One moment after another This makes them experience a complete explosion. Other action games tried to match the scale or battle of Kratos' adventures, and generally do a great job here –Bayonetta, DarkSiders, and Dante's hell All came out a few months before God of War III-But like anything else, Sony Santa Monica's formula hits a particularly sweet place that allows the franchise to live more generations of console than other PS2 peers.

With a TV adaptation In works and other myths are clearly for grabs, God of War Certainly not lacking for a future.
