life before your eyes. As you take the role of Kratos, a story
unfolds with various plot twists and multiple endings that take the
player through explosive, aggressive gameplay fused with traps,
stunts and story driven puzzles. Featuring an hour of cinematic
sequences and a deep combat system built around unique double chain
blade weapons, God of War will take the player through various
environments that will have them fighting fierce enemies, swinging
on ropes, scaling mountain cliffs, swimming through rivers and
sliding down zip lines resulting in a one-of-a-kind action-packed
Greek mythology adventure.
Kratos is an ex-Spartan soldier possessed by Ares, the God of War.
Over time, he becomes the most vicious warrior in Ancient Greece to
a point where he can not bare it anymore and sets out on a journey
to kill Ares. However, the only way to destroy Ares is to find
Pandora's Box, which is located in a temple that is perched upon a
hill and guarded by traps, puzzles, enemies, etc. The story is told
as a flashback of three weeks prior to where the opening movie
starts and then sets the stage for the game...
* GOD OF WAR introduces a brutal slice of life set in the mythological
Greek era. Players can live according to their own nature. Even if it is
by brute force.
* Defining the next evolution in gaming, GOD OF WAR presents an explosive
gameplay mix: raw melee combat fused with traps, stunts and story driven
puzzles.
* Huge collection of moves: players can swing on ropes, scale mountain
cliffs, swim through rivers, slide down zip lines.
* GOD OF WAR delivers an extensive combat system based on uniquely linking
combos for a myriad of fighting moves. Take the combat in air, take out a
number of enemies at once, and utilize "context sensitive moves" -- moves
that in particular situations, allow you to grab, kick or throw an enemy.
* Kratos' main weapons are two blades -- one attached to each arm by a long
chain that wraps around his arm. This allows for both short-range and
long-range attacks.
* Encounter some of the greatest mythological beasts and enemies: Medusa,
Cyclops, Minotaur, Harpies and more.
* Unleash an innovative magic system that grants the power of gods and
monsters: use Medusa's head to freeze your enemies, strike them with
Zeus' thunderbolt, cut them down with Ares' blades.
* Explore and unravel numerous puzzles that range from simpler lever pulls
to the most mind-bending, sadistic twisters around.
* Players can experience a real-time world of interactivity: soldiers
battle and die, structures fall to the ground, and the dark, violent
world of Greek mythology comes to life in gory detail.
* From the creative director of the Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal:Black
franchise.
