God of War 2: Awesome First Footage

See the PS2 sequel that wowed GDC in direct motion, plus fresh screens as well.

Sony's God of War 2 is going to be one of the biggest PS2 titles at E3, and it's not hard to see why, judging by this fresh, swanky direct feed footage.

Based on the teaser shown at GDC last month, this extended new trailer really hits where it hurts - whether its straight in the eyeball or right through your left wing - for some of the most impactful game footage we've seen since, well, God of War.

In God of War II, players retake the role of Kratos. Armed with the deadly blades and blistering rage, players will be aided by new breath-taking magic and new brutal combat moves.

The journey will take them through vividly striking environments where they will be faced with a labyrinth of challenging puzzles and mini-games intricately woven into the story. The violent world of Greek mythology will come to life in gory detail as Kratos encounters new mythical characters, and compete in epic boss battles in his quest.

Famed award-winning God of War creator David Jaffe will continue to oversee development of God of War II and comments, "In the gaming world, it's rare that a sequel equals, let alone eclipses the original, but I think this is going to be the exception to the rule in terms of quality, gameplay and story. I always said that God of War was my dream game, well no longer, God of War II really is the game I've always wanted to play."

We'll certainly be bringing you lots more on God of War 2 - stay tuned.
