The God of War series, made up of God of War and God of War II, featuring the brutal yet tortured anti-hero Kratos, engrossing storylines based in Greek mythology, over-the-top addictive action and puzzle-solving gameplay and simple controls is often referred to as one of the best, and/or most popular single player action games series ever made for PlayStation 2. The truth in this can be seen in the fact that in an era dominated by more advanced game consoles, fans of the franchise who have held on to their PS2's still revisit these two games from time to time, while gamers who missed their initial releases are tempted to give them a try, even though they have moved on to a PS3. Regardless which side of this you find yourself on the God of War Collection holds something for you. Released in advance of the highly anticipated God of War III, the first game in the series developed for the PS3 platform and rumored to also be the last overall, this collection allows players to properly prepare themselves for the final chapter in the adventures of Kratos, entirely through their PS3.

The Games

God of War
Unleash the power of the gods and embark on a merciless quest as Kratos, an ex-Spartan warrior driven to destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with the lethal double chainblades known as the Blades of Chaos, Kratos must carve through mythology’s darkest creatures — including Medusa, Cyclops, the Hydra and more, while solving intricate puzzles in breathtaking environments. Driven by pure revenge, nothing can stop Kratos from achieving absolution. Over time, Kratos becomes the most vicious warrior in Ancient Greece and bathed in blood to a point where he can't bare it anymore and sets out on a journey to kill Ares. However, the only way to destroy Ares is to find Pandora's Box, which is located in a temple that's perched upon a hill and guarded by traps, puzzles, enemies, etc. The story is told as a flashback of three weeks prior to where the opening movie cutscene starts and then sets the stage for the game.

God of War II
God of War saw Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic quest to dethrone a god. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II, Kratos, the once mortal warrior turned ruthless god, sits atop his throne on Olympus, and is a threat far worse than his predecessor Ares had ever been, striking down anyone who crosses his path, or the path of his beloved Sparta. Filled with power and rage, the "Ghost of Sparta" sets out to alter that which no mortal or god has ever changed his fate. Facing mythical characters, all bent on preventing him from reaching his goal, Kratos' journey brings him to the very edge of the Earth. But this is Kratos, and his defiance is filled with such arrogance and contempt that all of the ancient world still trembles at his name: Kratos, The God of War.

Perhaps the best 'one-two' punch in videogame history?

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2014

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase

This review is broken up into two parts. The first part is dedicated to God of War I, while the second part is about God of War II.

I need to preface this review by saying I've played several of the other God of War games, before playing this one. In fact, I've played all of them except GOW II. The game started off as an amazing 5 star game! Towards the middle, it took a bit of a nose dive for me, but ended on an extremely strong note (as evidenced by my 5 star rating). This is without question the most difficult game I've ever played. Once I stopped whining and decided to step up to the plate (youtube walkthroughs) I was fine and finished the journey.

Combat - I know this is an older title, but DAMN the combat is slick! It may be just me, but it seems like the camera is closer to the action than in some of the later GOW games I've played. Kratos appears huge while fighting onscreen, as opposed to having to squint your eyes just to locate him (this was a problem in Ascension). The combos were very easy to execute, and that's saying a lot because I usually suck in that area. I'm normally not that great at blocking incoming attacks, but for whatever reason, I was able to throughout the game. I know this is considered a hack n slash game, but if you're the button mashing type of gamer, you won't have much luck. You'll have to incorporate dodging and blocking into your combat, or prepare to die a ton :-)

Weaponry - Technically, Kratos only has two weapons. You'll start off with the blades of chaos (I finally learned the name of those things after 5 GOW games). Later on, you'll acquire a huge sword (my favorite of the two). I didn't mind having only 2 weapons because some games tend to overwhelm you with options, with some of them going unused. I'm not sure if I count magic attacks as weapons, but you'll have 4 completely different ones to use. Hades' souls, Medusa's stone gaze, Zeus' bolts of lightening, and Poseidon's area attack.

Enemies - I was pleasantly surprised by the diverse enemy variety, because I wasn't expecting it. When I think of older action games from the PS2 era, I think of repetitive gameplay that features they same enemies over and over, so I was very surprised. Although some of them are quite difficult to defeat, I always felt like I had a chance. Interestingly enough, there were only 3 boss battles. And, all 3 actually FELT like boss battles and were epic in their own right. The final battle (broken up into 3 parts) pretty much sealed the deal and catapulted God of War into that 5 star territory. I'd say it's easily one of the more epic battles I've been involved in. Hell, it was so intense that I was sweatintg bullets and had to take a shower afterwards!

Miscellaneous - Here's where I'll discuss a few of my gripes. Remember me mentioning how the game sucked once I reached the halfway point? Well, that's largely due to the absence of autosave and inconveniently placed save points. There are several puzzles in this game! In my opinion, a save point should have been placed right before each puzzle. If you're the type of gamer that has the bandwidth to sit in front of your tv until you solve a puzzle, then you'll be just fine. However, if you're only able to play an hour here, or 30 minutes there, (like me) you're in some trouble! If you turn the game off before finishing some of those puzzles, you'll be met with a surprise when you start up your next gaming session. You will have to start at the last save point, which may place you at that group of enemies you barely got past the first time (before the puzzle, of course). I believe it took me about 14 hours to complete the game. Please keep in mind this includes me dying a lot, and using more youtube walkthroughs than I'd care to mention.

I'd normally deduct a star or two for these types of inefficiencies (see my prototype review). But, I'll give this game a break for two reasons. The first being; it's a PS2 game so what the hell should I expect? The second reason being; this is too special of a game and experience to give it anything less than 5 stars. If you're a fan of action games (and haven't played this) and you're thinking about moving on to the PS4, please give this a whirl. I know it's old, but the updated graphics look great and this is one of those games you'll never forget. Wait, one more thing... I only used walkthtoughs for some of the puzzles and stuff like that. I've NEVER used one to aide me in combat. My Amazon street-cred is important, so I want to make sure there's no confusion.

God of War II Review

So, in a few days I'll be sun-setting my PS3 for good (in favor of the PS4, of course). I wanted to make sure I went out with a `BANG'. It just so happened that I played all of the God of War games except the second. Would this be a classic case of saving the best for last?

Combat - The combat is really the same in all of the God of War games. I can't say I enjoyed this combat any more or less than the previous GOW games I've played. If for some reason, you're new to the GOW series, the combat is mostly melee attacks, with some magic attacks sprinkled in to give you other options. There are 4 magic attacks in all, but I only gave a damn about two of them. I mostly used the earthquake one!!! That's the best and most useful magic attack I've seen in quite some time. I also like the bow and arrow for range attacks. One of the other magic attacks (the Medusa/Euryale head) seems to appear in every damn God of War that I've played, and I've yet to use it... I don't remember what the 4th one was, which means I must have not liked it very much.

Weaponry - In my opinion, the best choice of weapons reside in GOW II! The main weapon (the blades of Athena) are in every game, so nothing new there. The secondary weapons are what help make this game shine. Along your journey, you'll acquire a hammer, a spear, and a sword. The hammer is big and slow (as to be expected) but it delivers a massive blow, if you're able to connect. Since the hammer is kind of slow, you may get hit before you're able to deliver your blow. You'll use the sword for a bit in the beginning of the game, and you'll be forced to use it at the end of the game. Personally, I don't like the sword and would be perfectly fine if it never appeared in any future GOW games again... Now, to the main course! The Spear of Destiny was nothing short of amazing! Hell, I could argue that I enjoyed using that more so than I did the Blades of Athena. I could use it for melee attacks, as well as ranged attacks (kinda). One of the spear attacks shot out a small burst, that could be incorporated in some pretty fun combos.

Enemies - Just like the weaponry, the enemies are the best I've seen in any GOW game. I was very impressed with the variety, as well as the challenge they put up. I felt like I was seeing new enemies every few save points, and I found that to be refreshing. Overall, the best boss battles can be found in GOW III. However, GOW II has a couple of very epic boss battles. I won't give away anything, but one of the bosses is a personal favorite creature of mine, and I think this may be the only videogame it's ever appeared in. Some of the battles are with giants, while other battles are fought with enemies the same size as Kratos, and that makes for a nice mixture.

Miscellaneous - The only negative thing I can think of is probably related to some of the puzzles. A few of the puzzles didn't make much sense at all, and I merely kept trying things until something worked. On the contrary, some of the puzzles were quite clever and well thought out. I'm not sure why, but it took me about 24 hours to complete the game, and that's by far the longest time it's ever taken me to get through a GOW title. Maybe I secretly wanted it to last longer, who knows... When compared to the other games, I didn't die a lot. My only guess is that some of the puzzles (the ones that didn't make much sense) required a lot of my time because I refused to go to YouTube for help. Some Amazon reviewers have stated this is the best GOW game in the series. At the time, I thought they were smoking something. Now that I've completed the game myself, I feel like they're correct in their assessment. The added weapons, better enemy variety, and the mixture of boss types all add up to this being the best GOW game out of the six. I'm very proud to say I closed out my PS3 gaming era with this gem. Knack, you're up next!

The End Begins...

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2010

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase

Let me start out by saying that these games don't show their age in the graphics department. They look good enough to be released on the PS3. The cutscenes that use the ingame engine do look pixelated, but the cutscenes that use CG look really good. The ingame action looks great and Santa Monica Studios should be rewarded for this remastered collection. The games themselves should be tried by all fans of the genre. They have a nice story throughout, even though the second lacks in this department. If you've never played it then give it a shot, or if your a long time fan then refresh you memory for God of War 3. I had never played either of these titles before I bought this set. I have since preordered God of War 3: The Ulitmate Edition. Below are my reviews of both games, and don't worry no major spoilers are revealed. The set overall gets a 4/5.

God of War
God of War has a little problem with pacing. It starts out strong then tapers off towards the middle but then picks up in a major way toward the end of the game. The main problem with pacing is the the amount of puzzles. You just get through a room full of guys, and the action stops as you have to figure out how to move a doorway into place. They're not that hard, but I wish they would have given you some more clues as what to do. You are allowed to go back to where you were before, and this leads to unnecessary backtracking sometimes.

The combat is flawless, the special moves are well developed and you gain a form of XP through the game to upgrade them. The controls to use them is is also very well done. As you can switch between a special move, and a medium attack without ever missing a beat. The climbing sequences do get annoying as they were not necessary. They are not particuraly difficult just that it slows the game down, as Kratos is the slowest climber in video game histroy.
The story is pretty well done, and really escalades throughout the game. The ending of this game is epic. I wish Kratos would have had more lines, but the voiceover of his journey is nicely done. It was a little slow in the beginning, but as you peel away Kratos's story it really picks up well.

There are some annoying very PS2 like problems in GOW. There is no auto save in the game. You have to walk into a golden column, and manually save. This really gets annoying after the millionth time doing it. Also the respawning of enemies is terrible. You think you killed everyone in the room, and someone hits you from behind. Also the number of times your enemies respawns increases as you get farther in the game. It's supposed to increase the difficulty, but just makes it frustrating. Finally the camera angle is a problem. You can't rotate the camera, and there are more than a few ocassions where you're not able to see where to go, because the camera is staring at Kratos's face instead of the path ahead.

Overall this game had a great story, kick butt action, exciting unlockable powers and of course an even amount of blood spewing courpses added in. There were some frustrating parts in this game that invloves the puzzles, but a great game none the less. I wish I could have played this when it came out as now I have been spoiled by some great PS3 games, still God of War holds it's own, even though it will soon be five years old. Overall 4.5/5

God of War 2
This game really started off very well in the first two or three hours. The story was engaging and full of twists. The only problem is that after that point there was very little story development until the end. The game just seemed to drag on like the developers had a minimum length that the game had to be, and they just added rooms for no reason to meet it. There are very few cutscenes in this game. Most of them appear in the beginning, or end of the game. They should have made the game shorter, and the story should have been better written. It does end very nicely as it gets ready for God of War 3, but it didn't make up for the eight or so hours in between where very little happened to move the story forward.

The combat in the game is basically the same as the original. They have given you some weapons other than your blades, but the blades still work the best as the new weapons seem to be powerful but slow and bulky. The new powers you gain are given a different name, but are very similar to the ones that you had in God of War 1. The only exception is the demon souls are part of one of your weapon upgrades. I didn't know this and unlocked them last, therefore I was unable to take advantage of them. The developers also took away the L1+X attack from the first one. This was my favoirite attack, but for some reason was taken out this time around.

There is a new whip system in place. You can swing from hook to hook, but it isn't used as often as I would have liked. In this game you can also fly and stop time. They are way overused throughout the course of the game, and become annoying not fun to use.

The puzzles in this game are on par with the first game. I didn't have as much fun with them though. They seem to be more monotonous than challanging. Moving a statue into place in order to open a door for the hundreth time gets very taxing on your nerves.

The same save system is used from the first one. There is no autosave in either God of War and that becomes annoying. The enemy respawn problem from the first game is not as evident in this title. Both games do have a nice feature that allows you to watch all the cutscenes in order. This game has like 4 cutscenes so it's not as impressive as the half an hour of cutscenes from the original. The camera angle was not a problem for me, even though it is fixed I never had difficulties seeing what I was doing like I did in the original. Also the climbing is better developed. He climbs faster this time around, and these stages are not a big problem.

Overall this game was entertaining for the most part. The story should have had a bigger role than it did. The original kills the sequal in story quality. The game seems to drag on and lasts for over eleven hours. That's not too long I know, but with the lack of a story through the middle made it seem like a hundred hours. The new powers were annoying and overused. The whip was a nice addition, but didn't seem to get used to it's full potential. The game was a decent adventure that atleast built to a nice conclusion, keeping us in suspense for God fo War 3. Rating 3.5/5

Viel Spielspass und literweise Blut

Reviewed in Germany on January 27, 2010

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase

Vorab muss man sagen das jedem klar sein sollte: Es handelt sich um die aufbereitete GoW Reihe für die PS3.

Ich habe die Titel auf der PS2 NICHT gespielt und kann daher nur die PS3 Lösung beurteilen.
Es ist klar das das Re-make grafisch nicht die derzeitigen Top-Titel erreicht. Damit ist aber auch zu rechnen und aus meiner Sicht muss es das auch nicht. Denn 2 Spiele bei dem Preis für PS3 (also nur in schönerer Grafik als dazumal) ist meines Erachtens total okay, gerade für die die z.B. anlässlich der GoW 3 Ankündigung die Entscheidung fällen sich mit Kratos zu beschäftigen und Ihn noch nicht im Regal haben. Und fürs Geld gibts ne Menge Spielspass, unendliches Bonus-Material und viieeeel Blut.

Ein wenig Englisch sollte man mitbringen um ein wenig der Geschichte zu verstehen. Das ist allerdings für das Beenden des Spiels nicht unbedingt notwendig.
Der erste Teil der Reihe sieht in der Spielwelt sehr gut aus. Schöne Farben, flüssiges Spielen, gute Steuerung (im Groben). ABER: Die Sequenzen (Gegnererscheinen etc.) sehen extrem pixelig aus. Das ist aber durchaus zu verkraften; passiert soooo oft nicht. Die Videos die die Geschichte erzählen gehen dann doch weitaus besser klar. Aber auch hier darf man jetzt nichts Übermächtiges erwarten.

Beim zweiten Teil ist es schon deutlich ausgewogener. Die Spielgrafik ist sehr gut, Sequenzen und Videos bringen optisch schon deutlich mehr.

Gameplay: Ich persönlich hatte mit Kratos einen heiden Spass. Wobei die Steuerung des ersten Teils teilweise etwas nerven kann. So muss zum beispiel die R2 Taste be-dauerfeuert werden um Türen zu öffnen. Die Taste dient als Interaktions-Taste mit der Umgebung (Türen, Hebel etc.). Gefiel mir nicht so doll.
Kratos geht äußerst brutal ans Werk und ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste. Literweise Blut bleibt da nicht aus. Er arbeitet halt gern an seinen Gegnern.
Die Rätsel bei Teil 1 sind in der Regel keine Herausforderung (Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel!).

Kaum an Teil 1 gewöhnt kommt Teil 2 mit kleinen Änderungen daher. Die Interaktionstaste ist nun R1 ABER man muss nicht mehr diese sondern die Kreis Taste hämmern um Türen zu heben. Gute Anpassung! Teil 2 ist auf jedenfall deutlich spannender aber auch schwerer. Die Steuerung lässt mehr zu, neue Aktionen wie Schwingen an bestimmten Spots ist jetzt möglich.

Pro:
- schöne Spielgrafik
- leicht von der Hand gehende Steuerung mit kleinen Schönheitsfehlern
- Wer brutales Geschlachte mag wird Kratos lieben
- Trophäen (die nicht alle bei einmal durchzocken zu bekommen sind)
- Viele Schwierigkeitsgrade
- Rätsel die es auch manchmal in sich haben (eine tolle Abwechslung nach dem gemetzel)
- sehr Umfangreiches Bonusmaterial rund um GoW
- schöne Finisher

Contra:
- Keine Umsichtmöglichkeit (man kann sich nicht umschauen) und muss mit der Perspektive der Kamera leben. (Teilweise absolut nervig).
- Schlechte Grafik bei Sequenzen (Teil 1)
- keine Sonderlich packende Story (aber hier will man ja auch eher Action)
- Gegnerspawning (Gegner tauchen in Wellen aus dem Nichts auf wo man sich manchmal fragt wanns endet)

Fazit: Alles in Allem ist die Box Ihr Geld auf jeden Fall wert. Wer auf wildes Gemetzel steht findet hier genau das richtige. Reichlichst Blut und tolle Kämpfe erwarten einen. Ich bereue den Kauf auf keinen Fall und fieber schon GoW 3 entgegen. 5 Sterne für den God of War.

Hammer!!!

Reviewed in Germany on August 15, 2011

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase

Ich hab mir das Spiel gekauft, weil es so viele gute Bewertungen hatte und ich es auch mal ausprobieren wollte. Und auch wenn ich ein wenig skeptisch war, wegen der Grafik, bin ich trotzdem sehr zufrieden und auch sehr froh dass ich es mir geholt hab.

Das Spiel ist einfach nur geil. Ich habs vorher noch nie gespielt, aber die Grafik auf der PS3 sieht m.M. nach sehr gut aus. Ich find sogar fast besser wie so manche PS3-Tietel.

Das Spiel an sich und die Geschichte sind auch richtig hammer. Der Charakter Kratos ist so cool. Gnadenlos, Furchtlos, Entschlossen. Und man spürt die ganze Zeit wie sehr Kratos angepisst ist, und man ist richtig froh und glücklich wenn man die Götter, Monster usw. erledigt.

Ich finde die Ballance zwischen gnadenlosen, blutreichen Kämpfen und (auch manchmal kniffligen) Rätseln ist auch sehr gut gelungen. Bei manchen Rätseln saß ich da schon einige Minuten, bis ich bemerkt hab, was ich machen muss.

Das ist allerdings auch eins der wenigen Spiele, bei den ich vollkommen verstehen kann, dass es erst ab 18 freigegeben ist. In (fast) allen Kämpfen spritzt das Blut in alle Richtungen, und bei Endgegnern ist es dann noch einen Tick brutaler und man glaubt dass es Blut regnet.

Zu der englischen Version: Die ist hier in Deutschland ohne Probleme spielbar, die Trophäen sind auf englisch. Das Spiel ist nur auf englisch spielbar. Die Stimmen von den Charakteren passen sehr gut, ich glaube nicht dass die deutsche version da mithalten kann. Und da im Spiel nicht sooo viel geredet, und wenn dann nichts kompliziertes geredet wird, sollte man alles mit Grundkenntnissen in englisch verstehen können.

Also von mir gibt es eine glasklare Kaufempfehlung. (wenn man auf solche Spiele steht)

An alle Minderjährigen: Ihr solltet villeicht noch ein wenig warten bis ihr alt genug seid.

Ich freu mich schon auf das nächste GOW-HD-Remake, dass ich mir mit Sicherheit auch holen werden.

Kratos ist bei mir sofort zu einer unvergässlichen Legende geworden.

Remakes sind nicht immer grandios

Reviewed in Germany on February 4, 2010

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase

Die Collection bildet bisher meinen erster und einziger Kontakt zur ganzen Reihe. Da ich ein Fan von diesem Genre bin und mich bisher eigentlich an die Japanischen Kollegen gehalten habe war ich außerordentlich gespannt auf diese Neuauflage. Das man Grafiktechnisch nicht viel erwarten konnte war mir von Anfang klar, deshalb werde ich diesen Punkt in der Bewertung auslassen denn die Spiele bewegen ausschließlich auf dem Niveau der Vorgängerkonsole (was nicht negativ zu verstehen ist).

Aufmachung der Collection:
Wenn man die BluRay einlegt und das Spiel startet erwartet einen schon der erste Stolperstein, man kann nur 1x auswählen ob man God of War 1 oder 2 spielen möchte danach muss man das Spiel(e) komplett neu starten. Was soll sowas ? warum erlauben mir die Entwickler mir nicht fließend zwischen beiden Titeln hin und her zu springen. Die schlichten einfachen Menüs wurden 1:1 vom Vorgänger übernommen, einzig eine Bildschirmanpassung wurde hinzugefügt die keinen Sinn macht, in der man zwischen Vollbild und Vollbild wählen kann. Der Bonus Content kann über die Videofunktion im Hauptmenü der PS3 aufgerufen werden, bringt euch nur Zeit mit, denn die Konsole lädt und lädt und lädt bis alle Vorschaudaten aufgerufen sind. Ausschließlich belangloses "wir waren so gestresst bei der Herstellung" Material ist zu sehen, wen interessiert sowas ? ich erwarte einfach spannenderes Background Material ähnlich wie bei Uncharted 2 über eine Serie die ja inzwischen wohl Kult ist.

Gameplay:
Das Spiel glänzt mit einer im Prinzip solide erzählten Grundstory, einem guten Grundpotenzial an Gewalt und Blut (was ja in den japanischen Varianten dieses Genres meist fehlt oder einfach harmloser dargestellt wird). Zu Anfang sind die Fähigkeiten von Kratos noch sehr begrenzt, werden aber nach kurzer Zeit schon kräftig gesteigert. Gut hat mir gefallen das man den Charakter auch mittendrin "skillen" kann und nicht immer eine Aufgabe oder Mission abwarten muss. Die Steuerungskontrolle ist naja "okay" kann sich aber nicht mit Devil May Cry oder dem neuen Bayonetta als Beispiel messen. Die Atmosphäre von God of War ist recht gut aber nicht so motivierend das man das Spiel auch heute noch gerne durchspielt, jedenfalls ist das mein Empfinden, schade.

Sound:
Das ist das stärkste Plus für die beiden Spiele da haben sich die Entwickler nicht lumpen lassen, alle klingt sehr Episch und Epochal. Tolle Soundeffekt sehr motivierend und Adrenalinfördernd.

Bonus:
Ein Voucher für die God of War 3 Demo ist enthalten und für Fans sicherlich ein guter Grund sich diese Collection zu kaufen, für mich wirds entscheiden wie ich in Zukunft zu God of War stehe, hoffe einfach das der 3. Teil vom Gameplay her motivierender und einfach besser wird als 1+2.

Fazit:
Ein im Prinzip mittelmässiges Remake das der Reihe nicht gerecht wird und sicherlich nur alte Fans begeistert und nur wenig neue finden dürfte.

Brilliant Remastered

Reviewed in Germany on January 4, 2010

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase

Mit Freude vernahm ich die Ankündigung des Releases der God of War Collection. Nachdem ich schon den PSP Titel gespielt hatte freunte ich mich umsomehr auf die Ankündigung von God of War 3. Jetzt wird alten Spätzündern wie mir zum Glück noch die Möglichkeit gegeben, die ersten beiden Teile von God of War auf der Playstation 3 zu erleben.

Zum Spiel kurz:
Es wird Action aller erster Sahne geboten, die Kombos des Kampfsystems lassen sich schnell erlernen. Der Story kann ich auch trotz nicht allzu guter Englisch Kentnisse folgen.

Grafik: Keine Ahnung wie die Titel auf der PS2 aussahen, wenn ich diese Collection Spiele und ich nicht wüsste das es mal PS2 Spiele waren, würde ich sie für normale PS2 Titel halten. Alles ist sehr scharf, das Wasser sieht klasse aus und auch bei vielen Gegnern auf dem Bildschirm Spielt sich alles super Flüssig.

Umfang: Ich habe jetzt knapp 7 Stunden gespielt und eine Ende von Teil 1 ist nicht in Sicht. Teil 2 noch nicht einmal Angespielt

Bonus: Es gibt noch einen Code für den Playstation Store dazu der ermöglich sich die God of War 3 Demo herunterzuladen!

Fazit: Preis Leistung Einfach Top
