When I played the original God of War I found it remarkable that Kratos was an anti-hero, unorthodox for a video game. When he showed such remorse for the deaths of his loved ones and when he was overwhelmed by sorrow when he saw the slaughtered innocents and reflected upon his own actions I loved the signs of growth and development. Then God of War II threw all of that out the window and completely ignored Kratos as a character. Chains of Olympus and to a lesser extent Ghost of Sparta had their moments but again, Kratos never became the multifaceted character I had hoped for. I honestly think this is the greatest tragedy in the God of War series and it's a shame because he's still one of the more interesting video game "characters". The genre desperately needs well developed characters and Kratos was a squandered opportunity as far as I am concerned.
