To OP, If you think GOW was difficult, wait till you play GOW2. The enemies do more damage and the puzzles are more puzzling. GOW2 is great, I am 3/4's of the way through at this point. You will get sick of the ROCK Minotaurs very quickly in this game. I will put it this way. It is the only creature in both games that I actually have a need to use magic to defeat.
