God of War 2 really carries its weight, making excellent use of the PS2 hardware's capabilities. The best part of the game is the animation, which is practically seamless, no matter what the player does. The developers evidently went out of their way to make sure every possible scenario was animated in a realistic fashion. As a result, the player won't find any weird movements between getting hit and going into another combo move. Everything transitions beautifully, and save for a few glitches, players might run into here and there (most of which are minor) as this game is just about as polished up as polished up gets. We provide you with cheats and unlockables for this superb game and we'll just have to wait for God of War 3 to see what happens to Kratos:
Unlockables

Kratos gone cold? This is known as "The Piercing Cold" level:
I have this game and although i have completed it already i am finding myself playing it through again. You accuire 3 extra weapons you can use to decimate and cut up your enemies. I wiil not say what those weapons are as it will spoil the enoyment of others. But i can tell you that they are all extremly powerful and good looking. If you have played the first God Of War then you need this game to maximise your experience. If you come across this fame on the shelves and simply pass buy it, you will forever regret it....
