First one was absolutely mediocre.

Or maybe it just now looks mediocre compared to God of War 2 and every other hack'n'slash that came out afterwards.
Dante's Inferno and even Conan *shudder* are better than GoW1.

With that being said, GoW2 and GoW3 are about equally awesome.

I disagree. I mean, I only played the demo to Dante's Inferno but based on that i couldn't even bring myself to play the actual game. Ugh.

But then, I've always been interested in ancient mythology so maybe that contributed to my enjoyment of GoW, whereas a binch of Anglos on a crusade doesn't really do it for me? Maybe.

I also prefer Greek mythology, but the gamplay in GoW is just well below standard by now.
Maybe it was amazing when it came out, but for me, who played it after Conan and some others in 2010 it just feeled incredibly old even though it came out very late in the life of the Playstation 2.
The Hydra boss fight is alright, but everything that comes afterwards is neither memorable nor well designed and by gameplay standards old and boring.
