God of War’s popularity prompted the development of a number of direct sequels and several spin-offs. Greek mythology powers the story, so players encounter a myriad of Minotaurs and Hydras. Some of Kratos’s foes can be killed only by combinations of magic and physical attacks, making combat more reliant on skill. Action in God of War is viewed from the third person, and advanced movements such as running, jumping, climbing, and swimming are similar to those in the Tomb Raider series, another adventure-game series with strong platform-game characteristics. Armed with the Blades of Chaos, a weapon made out of two daggers attached to chains, Kratos rumbles through ancient Athens and other locations on a murderous quest to terminate the rogue god.
As the story progresses, Kratos is revealed to be Ares’ former servant, who had been tricked into killing his own family and is haunted by terrible nightmares. In God of War, players control Kratos, a Spartan warrior who is sent by the Greek gods to kill Ares, the god of war. Viewed by many as one of the all-time great titles for Sony’s PlayStation 2 video-game console, God of War attracted players and impressed critics with stunning visuals, a strong story, and exciting game play. God of War, electronic action-adventure game, released by the Sony Corporation in 2005.
