#19: God of War II (Santa Monica Studio, 2007) - PS2/PS3
This games does everything a sequel should do: take what worked on the first game, remove the problems and polish everything even more. The gameplay is virtually the same, but don't fix what isn't broken right? The scope of the game is even bigger (as it should be), and it shows right at the first boss, the Colossus of Rhodes. Also, Kratos controls more fluently. This time, the plot even involves time travel. If you wanna take it really seriously, it doesn't make sense (paradoxes, paradoxes...), but who cares? It's pretty entertaining shit. The soundtrack really fits the epic style of the game perfectly, and there are tracks I actually enjoy listeing to casually. Plus, the game ends with a giant cliffhanger, making sure the hype for GoW3 would be gigantic.
In conclusion, one hell of a swansong. (disagree all you want, Persona 4 fans) though I haven't played the game actually
