Gameplay
The gameplay of God of War II is very similar to that of its predecessor, God of War. It is a single-player video game that features a fixed camera that shows a third-person view. The player controls the game's protagonist character Kratos in a combination of combat, both normal and quick time, with platforming and puzzle game elements. The player navigates Kratos through a long series of tests, trials and mazes to achieve goals. Many of the combination attacks used in God of War reappear, and the game features four times as many boss fights and improved puzzles than the original. Combat includes a quick time event (QTE) feature that is initiated when the player has weakened a strong foe. The player performs actions on the control device shortly after the appearance of an on-screen prompt using the circle button on the controller. It allows limited control of Kratos during the QTE cinematic sequence. If the player succeeds, the battle ends, whereas failure usually resulting in damage.
Kratos' main weapons are a pair of double-chained blades called Athena's Blades, and as the game progresses, Kratos acquires new weapons—the Barbarian Hammer, the Spear of Destiny, and periodically the Blade of Olympus. Although Kratos begins the game with Athena's Blades and the magic ability Poseidon's Rage at maximum, he loses these abilities after an encounter with Zeus. Kratos retains the relic Poseidon's Trident from the original installment and acquires several other relics, such as the Amulet of the Fates, the Golden Fleece, and Icarus' Wings. Kratos uses magical abilities, including Typhon's Bane, Cronos' Rage, Head of Euryale, and Atlas Quake. Rage of the Gods featured in the previous game is replaced by Rage of the Titans, which provides temporary invulnerability and increased attack damage.
During the game, the player finds chests containing orbs colored green, blue, red and gold. Green orbs replenish health, blue ones replenish magic, red ones replenish experience—for upgrading weapons and magic and making new and more powerful attacks available—and gold orbs replenish the Rage meter for Rage of the Titans. The player also collects red orbs by killing foes and destroying certain inanimate objects. Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers, which increase the maximum amount of Health and Magic respectively, return and are found in plain, non-colored chests. The player must find six Eyes or Feathers to increase each meter's maximum. The player must also find three large chests that provide an increase to the Health and Magic meters; the third chest releases a large amount of red orbs. Several urns are hidden in the game which, upon completion of the Challenge mode, will unlock special abilities.
A quick-time sex mini-game is included in the form of an encounter with two women.[7] The challenge mode also returns. Completing the game unlocks the Challenge of the Titans (seven trials). The player may unlock bonus costumes, behind-the-scenes videos, and art galleries as rewards, and usage of the abilities found in the urns during the first playthrough. Completion of each difficulty level also unlocks various rewards. A new arena mode, called Arena of the Fates, allows players to set difficulty levels and choose their own opponents.
Story
Kratos is now the God of War, having defeated the Olympian god Ares. He is shunned by the other gods and still haunted by nightmares from his past. Kratos supports a Spartan army that is ravaging Greece. He ignores a warning from the goddess Athena that his lust for revenge is alienating the other gods. Kratos joins the Spartans in an attack on the city of Rhodes during which a giant eagle drains him of his godly powers and animates the Colossus of Rhodes. After a series of skirmishes with the statue, Kratos is offered the Blade of Olympus by Zeus, requiring Kratos to infuse the blade with the remainder of his godly power. Although he is now human, Kratos defeats the Colossus but is mortally wounded. The eagle reveals itself to be Zeus, and states he was forced to intervene as Athena refused to undo what Zeus calls "her mistake". Zeus then grants Kratos a final opportunity to be a loyal servant of the gods, but Kratos refuses and is killed by Zeus with the Blade of Olympus. Zeus then destroys the invading Spartan army.
Kratos is slowly dragged to the Underworld and is saved by the Titan Gaia, Mother of Earth, who tells him that he must find the Sisters of Fate, who can change his fate and prevent his death at the hands of Zeus. With the aid of a Pegasus, Kratos is first directed to find Gaia's brother Typhon and enlist his aid. After an aerial battle with griffins and harpies, Kratos finds Typhon imprisoned under a mountain in the Arctic. Typhon is angered at the intrusion and imprisons Pegasus, trapping Kratos in his lair. Kratos is forced to explore, and battles hordes of foes until he encounters the former Titan Prometheus, who was trapped in mortal form and then chained and tortured at Zeus' directive for giving fire to mankind. Prometheus begs to be releaseed from his torment and to achieve this, Kratos finds and confronts Typhon, steals Typhon's magical bow and uses it to blind him. Typhon is angry and swears to take vengeance. Kratos returns to Prometheus and frees him using Typhon's bow. Prometheus chooses death by fire. In the act of immolation, the power of the Titans is released, which Kratos absorbs into himself. Kratos frees Pegasus with the Titans' power, escapes and locates the Island of Creation.
Gaia tells Kratos that she once raised a young Zeus, who, on reaching manhood, betrayed her and waged war against the Titans as vengeance for the cruelty inflicted on his siblings by his father, Cronos. Kratos battles and defeats a number of foes, including Theseus—an undead version of his old foe—the Barbarian King, the gorgon Euryale, Perseus and Icarus —both of whom are also seeking the Sisters of Fate—Kratos encounters the imprisoned Titan Atlas. Atlas is angry and initially resents Kratos as he was responsible for the Titan's current predicament. Kratos explains his intent, and Atlas reveals that Gaia and the other Titans seek revenge on Zeus as they were punished and humiliated by the gods after their defeat in the Great War. Atlas reveals that the Blade of Olympus is the key to Zeus' defeat, and helps Kratos to reach the Palace of the Fates.
After evading numerous traps and defeating waves of monsters, Kratos encounters and battles an unseen foe, who is revealed to be a loyal Spartan soldier. Before he dies, the soldier tells Kratos that Zeus has completed his revenge by destroying Sparta in Kratos' absence. Outraged, Kratos is given even greater power by Gaia, who encourages him to continue to pursue his ultimate goal: the death of Zeus. He eventually finds and frees a phoenix, and rides the creature to the Sisters' stronghold where he confronts two of the three Sisters – Lakhesis and Atropos. After a series of skirmishes, including a failed attempt by the Sisters to change the outcome of Kratos' battle with Ares, Kratos kills Lakhesis and Atropos and then confronts the final Sister, Clotho. He kills her and uses the Loom of Fate to return to the point at which Zeus betrayed him.
Kratos surprises Zeus, seizes the Blade of Olympus, battles with and finally incapacitates Zeus. Athena intervenes and begs Kratos to stop, and says that by killing Zeus, he will destroy Olympus. Kratos ignores Athena's pleas and attempts to kill Zeus, but Athena sacrifices herself and is impaled upon the Blade of Olympus. Before she dies, Athena reveals that Kratos is Zeus' son, and that Zeus was afraid that Kratos would usurp him, as Zeus usurped his father, Cronos. Kratos declares that the time of the gods is at an end, travels back in time and rescues the Titans just before their defeat in the Great War. He returns with the Titans to the present, and the gods watch as their former foes climb Mount Olympus. Kratos, standing on the back of Gaia and wielding the Blade of Olympus, tells Zeus he has brought the destruction of Olympus.
