That is true, but if you want an unforgettable experience. I suggest you get the first two by purchasing God of War Collection then beating the third installment. :)

i cannot believe all you people are going to play the third without the first and second....it baffles my mind

I played GoW and GoW II, but if I didn't I would still play GoW III, in fact I do that all the time, I played quite a number of sequences without playing the previous games.

have and completed the first two on ps2.

I recently played the collection so I'm rearing to go!!!

Gow collection will arrive tomorrow so i guess thats a no

how come ye guys never played the Gow 1 and 2 on ps2???What the hell!!!

Nope, I want to complete the newly purchase GOW Collection I have first, then I will have some GOW III

you should have added "i've already played 1 and 2, im getting 3" :)

i probbaly would still have liked it, but the story wouldnt mean as much to me. why is Kratos' skin so white? (answered, of course, in GoW 1) for example. He would just be this muscly, mega-pissed off dude on a mission. With cool weapons and a backstory that I do not know.

So once I've finished 2 (i'm playing atm), I should have it timed nicely for a couple of weeks studying before playing number 3.

nice.

Gonna import the GoW Collection in the next few days as it looks like it will never come out here. (separate from the overpriced ultimate trilogy pack...)
