God of War is one of the best titles on the PS2. It is not really for children, but a teenager would like this game, although if their parent is uptight....then Mom and Dad won't care for some brief nudity/violence. If you can manage to get beyond that then the game is very challenging, and just flat out visually beautiful. The Boss's are very well done, and you will be astounded by the game. You may need to go online to find help at times, and the Challenge of the Gods is darn near impossible, but not completly impossible. If I could have one game on PS2 it would be this game....although now that Resident Evil 4 has made an appearance it would be very close, but since I consider that a Gamecube title....I think that I am safe in calling this one of the top PS2 games.
