Kratos shouts, “I won’t take your riches of your woman – but I will take your life!” He then smashes the Persian ruler’s face using one of his own treasure chests. Now that is how you make an entrance.
This installation of the franchise is based as a prequel before God of War 1 (seems Ready at Dawn likes explaining reasons for situations in games as they did with Daxter, explaining Jak 2 a bit better). It is also in this game that you understand why Kratos is beside himself right in the beginning of God of War 1 – he, for the first time, shows his more humane side.

For those new to God of War (duh! Where have you been?) the opening level is pure adrenaline, pure spectacle, pure Kratos.

Comments:
My boyfriend had this game and I thought I would give it a go, but found it really violent.
Yes, which is why I warned about the violence in suggestive themes within the game. Definitely not for those who like less violent games. Your boyfriend is naughty to let you play a game like that! Get Loco Roco, you'll love it :)
