God of War Collection Review

[soniqstylz]

I finished it at 3:10. I died a few times because I thought I was invincible lol. Got all Gorgon Eyes but not the Feathers, I missed 3 but I wasn't looking for all. I rarely used magic.

Now to play God of War 2. :)

I think I'm closer to 4:00, but I got all feathers/eyes, did the Muse Keys room, etc., and once I knew I had it, I stopped skipping and enjoyed dishing out the asswhipping.

Check that, 3:48.

Does prime work for Amazon UK? If so, keep that, definitely worth it, you can even get a lot of games with guaranteed release-day shipping for free.

soniqstylz, where did you get the 500 hit trophy? I haven't finished GoWII but I have no idea how I'm going to get 500 hit.

Same time I got the 15 fight scene trophy. At the very end of that run, spam Cronos' Rage. I got around 600 hits.

Received mine today, unfortunately class tests and assignments mean no play time at least until the last week of university term. :(

I finished the game (GoW2) and I didn't get the Boss Batch 3 trophy :(

That's been a common glitch. Only real remedy is another playthrough, most people who glitched got it on the 2nd playthrough.

BTW, Kol, start a new game+, use the urns (assuming you got at least two of them) for the gold, then completely upgrade the sword of olympus, and get to a save point. Then start the Challenge of the Titans.

*edit* actually, it shows up that you got that trophy in your collection.

Dammit :( Only that and challenge of the Titans for Platinum. Going to play a second time with all urns on :devil:

That was for what? to get the upgrade all weapons magic trophy?

[rajputwarrior]

got it, played it loving it. Working on the first one. I just a "getting my ass kicked trophy"... pretty funny. Game actually looks pretty decent, and the updated of the particles effects are nice too. Other then the cut scenes, game actually holds up to some of todays titles.

Definitely worth the 40 bucks.

GoW2 was platinum if it wasn't for the stupid glitch :(

Tip for Challenge 7 in GoW2. Take all skeletons except one and then take the rock thing. After that it is easy to kill the other enemies that spawn.

I wouldn't usually bump an old thread but I bought this game because of this thread after seeing the God of War 3 screenshots and I must say the GoW Collection is an absolute bargain!

I'd heard of the GoW games on the PS2 but never had a chance to play them so I'm glad they re-released them like this. As a big fan of the Prince of Persia series (apart from the disappointing new one), I found it quite similar and easy to get on with, with great gameplay and a great story. I've finished GoW now and just need to complete the Challenge of The Gods and the speedrun for the platinum! As you can't save it when doing the challenges how long did it take everyone to get through them?

I've started GoW2 now but will have to go back to GoW to get the platinum! Both are excellent games and I'm really looking forward to GoW3 now!

Don't complete CotG in #1 before you complete God of War 2... just, trust me on this. GoW 2 has a massive twist at the very end of the game which is very weirdly casually addressed in one of the cutscenes after you beat CotG, making the whole shock reveal in 2 pretty "meh". Thankfully it didn't happen to me, but I can imagine it would have ruined the epicness of the ending for GoW 2 if I did.

[Plarkster]

Hmm, ok thanks for that. I must be a fair way through GoW2 so will finish it before going back to the first one. I wish you could save your progess on the challenges but I guess that would make it easier.

You can save in Challenge of the Titans in GoW2

Finished GoW2 and the challenges a few days ago and got my first Platinum Trophy! :) Went back and did the challenge of the gods on GoW1 (man some of them are hard!) and I didn't get any cutscene? I've had a look in the treasures section and can't see anything extra that has been unlocked.

No matter, now to do the speed run on GoW1 to get my next platinum trophy! It took me just over 10 hours to complete it the first time round, gonna take some doing to do it in under 5. Bit disappointed you don't start with all your power and magic on bonus play like you do in the second one - it's gonna be harder than I thought!

Play as the cow in GoW1 and you get infinite magic. Beat speed-run in 4 hours I believe.
