The God of War Collection: volume 2 is the newest addition to Sony’s HD remake series. What makes this extra special to those die hard God of War fans is that if you're one of the many that did not own a PSP these games will be completely new to you and to those of you that did you can play it on the big(ish) screen.

The gameplay stays true to the previous God of War games (except without the use of the trigger buttons). The combat system is still as gory and fast-paced as ever, and the addition of new magic moves in combat allows for some very destructive battles. Of course it would not be God of War without that special blend of over-the-top button mashing boss battles and gory quick time events that all these games deliver. Naturally, you can also upgrade your weapons and abilities throughout the game by collecting red orbs, this allows the game to fit to your style of play whether if you want to be more weapon orientated or play by busting people up with more powerful spells.

To those who owned this game on the PSP and to most the main reason to get this bundle is because of the shiny new makeover it has received. Graphically it looks good, it’s nowhere near God of War 3 but leans towards a more of an early PS3 title, although there are a few visual flaws such as questionable speech animations and low detail on backdrops. The reason behind all this is because although many tweaks have been made the engine is the same as the original games which adds nicely to the nostalgia factor.
