Ok so I finally got around to picking up God of War for PS2 and I freaking love it!! Thing is, I almost have the game beat. Can anyone recommend some similar games that I could start working on once this is done?

It's not really that similar, but you have to play Shadow of the Colossus. Best action/adventure game I've ever played.

Isn't it great? I really want it to cheapen up so I can buy it and get all the extras with my saved file. What's your favorite one? I either like 13 (the flying one) or the last one best, but lion that topples all the columns is the shit too.

I'll give that a try then. I've been hearing a lot about that game and you guys just sealed the deal for me!

the two flying ones were really impressive. id have to say the bird-like one with the fuck-off massive tail was the ultimate, but the giant flying snake thing wasnt close behind.

any you disliked? those two little dog-like ones were pretty lacking, i thought.

AGRO!

I hated the first little dog, and the one that you have to make step on the water jets. The second dog is cool because of all the toppling and acrobatics and what not.

the one you had to tip up using the water jets was a bastard. i forgot about him. he took the longest of them all at an hour and a half. i spent far too long trying to figure out his weak spot. pretty easy once it becomes clear.

How bout the sequence on the last one? Back to hand to arm to hand to shoulder to neck to head, utterly ridiculous.

Weak, he was probably the best one. Picture climbing a skyscraper that hurls massive fireballs and then stabbing it to death.

Sounds about right. :lol:

You should rent it again, the ending is amazing. I think it's over 30 minutes long.

What was the incentive for finishing Shadow of the Colossus?

What do you mean, like extras? You get a time attack mode, and if you beat all those you get a harder time attack mode. The more colossi you beat you get a better sword, whistling arrows, a lance, stuff like that.

What happens at the end? I gave up on SotC after about the fifth level because the bad controls made everything twice as hard as it should be and there was no storyline or interesting gameplay to keep me interested.

im going to have to say it again. this game is attractive.

The controls can be bad, I'll give you that, but I got used to them.

It's a long ass story and I don't remember all of it, try to find a summary online somewhere. I thought it was more than worth playing the game for.
