God of War (PlayStation 2)

Pretty good game but, BAD PARENTS!!! BAD PARENTS!!!!! You let ur kids play this.

hate it bloody gorey and sexual!

The only thing stopping God of War from being the game of the year so far is the perfection that is Resident Evil 4. The combo-heavy gameplay moves far beyond the hack and slash tedium of most action titles, the magic is varied without being needlessly complex, and your abilities improve based on your skill. The puzzles are excellent; even the typically cliched crate puzzles are different enough to be interesting. Now, on to the content. Yes, God of War features blood, gore, dismemberment, nudity, sex, and the slaughter of innocent bystanders. However, none of this is extreme or gratuitous; it all serves to explain Kratos' character. He is an animalistic hedonist, gone almost insane from the stress of battle, the pain of loss, and the desire for Aries' downfall. While they may not be able to understand the subtleties of Kratos' personality, most teens should be able to handle this game. Overall, God of War is a beautifully violent story told perfectly, and filled with some of the best gameplay I've seen in a long time. It will likely be the PS2's best game of 2005.

My brother has played this game and I can't say that I know anything about it but, it just sounds disgusting.

A good game, I've played this game multiple times since the age of ten. Parents just might want to screen through the first part though, much like my own did when we (my brothers, little sister, and I) wanted to play. Otherwise, this puts an interesting spin on Greek mythology and offers a challenging game you want to play over and over.

Awsome! Extremely gory and explicit but language was not that bad.

let us 13 year olds play

This game is violent but is unrealistic, so the violence is fine. A 12+ year old could play this and have fun doing so. It's not that bad. The sex scene is optional and even if you do it your'e not watching it or anything. Overall, this game is suitable for young audiences.

Well, God of war is a very violent game but very easy controls and fun to play. Though after the first level in a cut scene they show two naked women only their chest uncensored.
