IGN : 9.8 ( Full Review )
Game informer : 10/10
Play Magazine : 9.5
Gamespot : 9.3 ( found it on the Editor Choice Page )

For people who dont know what this game is :

Similar to franchises like Devil May Cry, Rygar, and Castlevania, the game draws its inspiration from ancient Greek mythology and boasts a heavy emphasis on exploration and battle strategy. Broken into three to four acts, the game also has a strong focus on story-telling and boast tons of magic spells and abilities. Described as "Clash of the Titans meets Heavy Metal", God of War equips its hero with a pair of sword-like chain weapons that can grab enemies, perform multi-hit combos, and pull off a variety of different aerial attacks. Slight platforming elements and an energy collection system similar to that of Onimusha have been incorporated as well, and players are even able to use certain elements of their fallen enemies as a weapon (re: Medusa's head, for instance, can be used to turn enemies to stone after you've defeated her).
 
Yeah, I've been looking at this one recently. I may just have to go and trade in some old stuff for it.

ill get this game ^^
 
Gamespot review is up now ( Here )
It's simply a marvelously executed experience that's fun from beginning to end, and anyone with a taste for mature content and the action adventure genre would be foolish to pass it up.

1UP : 10/10 ( Full Review )
With all the talk about next-generation systems coming soon, God of War serves as a good smack-to-the-face reminder of why this generation doesn't want to be left behind.
 
Damn, reading through some of these reviews is getting me pretty excited for the 22nd.
 
looks prince of persia:warrior within-esque,reminds me of shadow of rome a bit too,the whole ancient setting seems popular now
 
Those videos linked from here could've been better :| It was him running around 90% of the time...but It still looked pretty cool. I'll rent this one for sure.

EDIT: Ok, just watched the IGN video review and the Gamespot one as well. Schwweeeet.

"Thank the gods you came back for me!"

"I didn't come back for you"

*BLARRRRGGG!!"

:)
 
At first i though "well this games gonna be good i'll eventually pick it up". Then the previews right before the release came. I stood sted-fast and said "wow really sounds good, i'll still hold off and wait before getting it". Now the reviews and hype have come....eating at my brain...tearing at my soul...now the thoughts constantly running thru my inner beings say "You...Must...ARGH...Have....This...Game..."
 
Friends and I have been waiting for this one. I've spent a bit too much on games though lately so I guess we'll have to wait some more. (I'm the only one with a PS2)

The graphics is amazing i cant beleive the PS2 can do that, as well as the sounds , the rain and the music is great. The Gameplay which is the most important thing and the best thing in the game :p, the moves are just great, you can lvl up your moves by getting ores ( the red things ). and the story looks good , i've played about 1 hour and killed 1 monster which was amazing..

You better get this one , one of the best games on the PS2 and it defentily worth a GOTY.
 
Dammit! another game to sidetrack me from work......
