When is this coming out in the Uk? They sure are taking their sweet time
I'm near the end of GoW 2 and wanted to ask something: Does anyone use anything but the Blades of Athena?
In GoW I used
but so far I didn't find any need to use
In GoW I used
the blade of artemis
the hammer or the spear. I'm just having so much fun with the blades and don't see why should I use the other weapons

No. The blades are so much faster, and far more entertaining to use.
Just buy a US copy from eBay. It's what I did. Cost me £29 - brand new and sealed. Not a bad price for two great games. There are many sellers based in the UK so you should get a copy in only a couple of days.UnblessedSoul said:
And plus, I am NOT going to wait for the 'UK' copy (if they decide to release one) if they happen to release it on the same time as GOW3. I'd rather complete the collection now in preparation for the third game.

No, GOW1 doesn't have a New Game+, but there are costumes you can equip that will make you much more powerful. The

This last fight in God of War I has to be one of the worst. Ares kills you in a couple of hits and you move so slow with that damn sword you can't dodge or block well. There's this random deadlock that happens every now and then but I don't know what's causing it since most of the time it's just Ares getting a counter on me. Is there something I'm missing here?
Never mind, I managed to cheese it. Still, that was a shitty battle. That side swipe move he always uses is killer.

I didn't really like the Cestus gloves, as they were too slow for me. And yeah, Blade of Artemis is absolutely useless.

The first sequence is bearable (although Ares is a cheap bastard), and the
fight against the clones
fuck that guy who designed the spiked chambers of hades
i've been stuck at this shitty segment for 2 fucking hours.
i got past the first chamber easily but the second one? what the fuck is this shit. ARGH.
GOW 2 is a far, far better game. this first game is full of far too many frustrating moments. its not designed very well and its easy to get lost.
edit: just did it. finally.
edit 2: just completed the game. an epic experience marred by some terrible puzzles.
edit 3: Anyone watch the video about Kratos' brother in the treasures section? The fact you get a trophy for it makes me think they're hinting at something. Hmmm....

F this game!!!!!
I have all weapons maxed out and max health and magic, and I'm playing on Hard Mode, and I can't get through the
segment of the final boss of GoW1!!! UGHHHH
Any tips? I've tried everything. Blade of Artemis, Blades of Chaos, combos with Army of Undead and Poseidon's Rage, and constantly Titan Raging
it's too fucking hard on Hard Mode.
UGHHHH been trying this fight for 3 hours (and every time I lose I have to re-max my Army of Undead :l)
It's easy if you go slowly and don't jump up whatsoever.
But I agree, those spiked columns should have been majorly edited, or removed xD
So far I'm liking GoW1 way better than GoW2. I played GoW2 myself around 3 years ago and I couldn't even finish it. GoW1 has successfully pulled me into the franchise.
Stig confirmed in an interview that he won't be making an appearance/mention in GoW3.

So I just finished God of War II.
Why didn't Kratos just use the threads of fate to stop himself from killing his family, or at least stop himself from draining his god powers into the Blade of Olympus?

I mean, he could have even shown up before he was originally stabbed. Kratos really didn't think things through.

Maybe
he wants to seek revenge against the gods first. Then after he's done, he'll go back in time and save his family. I haven't played GOW3 yet so I wouldn't know...

I think the time portal place was destroyed after he saved the Titans. The place was crumbling when he came back from the Zeus fight.

The guy solves all kinds of puzzles these games. He seems pretty smart, or at least smart enough to go back in time ten minutes earlier then the moment he chose.

You mean underwater ?
Just hold R1 and dash all the way.
Tkawsome said:
Because then the Colossus would still need defeating, and the Spartan Army still saving.
If he went so far back in time that he saves his family, he never would have become God of War. I wouldn't be surprised if he figures out how to save his family from the Underworld in GoW3 or something

Well
Going to the moment Zeus betrayed him was an easy opportunity to kill him while he was distracted and already on earth. He likely wouldn't be able to challenge Zeus while still on Olympus in the state he was.

If you're talking about the blades that go horizontal and vertical, that shit was easy. Just roll and jump your way out. If you're talking about the spinning platforms up high and walking the thin platform, then THAT PISSED ME THE FUCK OFF!!!

Yeah I don't think you're suppose to get to the door yet. I made the same mistake forcing myself into it but you're suppose to get in that door later. You have other things to do elsewhere before you come back and try it. Even if you get the door open, if this is the first time you entering the buzzsaw/blade room, then you can't do shit about it as nothing is ahead of that door...
If this is you backtracking to the buzzsaw room after doing loads of shit then try to roll and jump your way in.
I can be wrong though, but I'm sure you cannot get into that door if you're witnessing it for the first time.

Yeah, I've already done the other stuff. Am just trying to get through the damn door. So.. you say jump? Hmm I haven't tried jumping yet. Have just been rolling. I fucking hate this damn room so much though.
Starting to hope there's a way to snake a save file off the net and load it up to get past this damn thing.

Got it, enjoying it, at least God of War 1. Damn this temple just keeps on going eh? I like how the game seems to be the result of a month-long meeting where people just listed things that were badass and put as many of these things into the game as possible.
I also got my first "want to switch to easy mode?", which I think is a stupid option if all of the deaths are due to instant pit/trap kills. They should've taken that into account. It's not even that hard, just some bad luck and going too quick.
EDIT - yeah that buzzsaw room was a bit difficult. The trick is to not worry about getting hit, just go go go and there's enough time to make it. Try to move diagonally more, riskier but you save a lot of time.

lol yeah. Once you do other stuff, it should be easy to get through. Roll your way out. It takes a little bit of luck. Definitely roll your way in the door, reserve the jumps (very rarely though cause roll works flawlessly).

I'm sure this is what you're talking about.
jett said:
Generally, the weapons in GoW I & II suck with the exception of the Barbarian Hammer. If you mean design wise, yes, (the Hammer only has two useful moves), but as far as utility the Hammer is the easiest way to get through a lot of portions of Titan difficulty, as it's much much more powerful than it seems.
Whoa whoa whoa, the purple lance in GOWII was easily the best weapon in the entire game. I loved the proximity mines, timed explosives, etc. you could lay with that thing. If it were only a bit more powerful I would have used it for the entire game (still did anyways).
