Those towers were infact completey pointless and shitty.

[Jetman]

I just came in here to say a big FUCK YOU to Sony for the spinning fucking blade towers. I am stuck on the second fucking stupid shitty ass tower. One tower was annoying enough, but two? That is just sadistic!!!

I didnt die more than once on those - TOOT TOOT

Ares on the other hand made me his bitch - second form.

[Rumpy]

The spinning blades strike again! It's not hard. Just learn the pattern and bang that shit out. You'll get that old school kick ass feeling when you get passed it.

Welcome to the club of player haters, anime.

The game froze on me twice against Ares.

The game froze on me twice against Ares.

The game never froze on me during the battle, but for some reason during his second form, I double jumped and started swimming. I swam straight up into space, it was a really weird glitch! I beat the second tower like two minutes after I posted that message, I guess I just needed a break. Anyway, here is the lowdown:

Things I liked:
*The graphics and environments were awesome
*The music was excellent, as was the voice acting
*Controls were smooth and brutal (finishing moves rocked)
*Storyline was well written and had good pacing
*DVD style extras were really entertaining; I really liked seeing the unused 3d models and deleted levels
*Really used its M rating in a mature and adult way
*The puzzles were well thought out and required little backtracking

Things I didn't like:
*Hades. Worst. Level. Ever.
*Seriously, those spinning towers were the most annoying thing ever!
*Had a couple of slight camera problems

Overall, it was an awesome game with a cool ending. A solid 9/10 from me (like anybody cares).

Anyone who died on Ares during his second form is bad at video games. My one and only time fighting him I never once took damage and destroyed him in a minute or so.

This is what really set it appart from other action/adventure games that try to implement puzzles. In most other games the puzzles are a horrible side notse that ruin the flow of the game, in GoW they make perfect sense, keep you moving forward, and don't take you out of the action.

To me it was more of a "Thank god that piece of shit is over, let's hope they don't pull any more worthless crap out of their ass," but whatever.

That damned unblockable long-range tentacles -> sword combo killed me a few times. Or was that his first form? I don't remember.

Like grinding to a complete halt so that you can kick a wooden crate a bunch of times really slowly?

But yeah, there was a lot of good shit in there.

Unless I'm mistaken, wasn't it you that couldn't beat the boss on the boat in the very beginning of PoP2 WW?

[Opaque]

Yeah, but that boss was gay, PoP2 has a broken fighting system, and four minutes into the game you have no grasp on how to fight enemies properly. I went back in and tried it after puting a few hours on the game to see if it was more managable and she never hit me. Not even once.

You must have accidentally hit the option to go into easy mode after dying on the Hades blade tower section multiple times (the one I only died once on btw).
