Wow I just beat GOW II today like an hour ago. It wasn't my first time but damn it that game is just one amazing Adrenaline pumping roller coaster ride.
While it is weaker than GOW1 in the story department, it's definitely better in the gameplay and combat areas. Some of the set pieces, bosses and combat scenarios are amazing and on top of that it's almost double the length of the first game.
I don't know your opinion on this Khuutra but I found the sub weapons almost uesless compierd to the blades. The Barbarin Hammer is good at crowd control but the lack of evading makes it almost an useble against bosses and larger enemies like the Cyclops. The Spear of Destniy is cool and has the abilty to evade but it's not as good as the blades so when it came down to upgrading I went with the blades then the magic.
The Colossus at the start is one of my favorite bosses, seriously EVERY game needs to have an epic opening like that.
