God of War II
A remaster of God of War II, an action-adventure hack-and-slash video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). The game is rooted in Greek mythology and unfolds in ancient Greece, revolving around the theme of vengeance. The protagonist, Kratos, is the new God of War, having defeated the former, Ares. However, Kratos is betrayed by Zeus, the King of the Olympian gods, who not only strips him of his godhood but also kills him. Dragged slowly to the Underworld, Kratos is rescued by the Titan Gaia, who guides him to seek out the Sisters of Fate. These entities have the power to enable time travel, allowing Kratos to prevent his betrayal, and ultimately seek revenge on Zeus.
The remaster features full HD resolution complete with 2X anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second.

About This Game
God of War II takes place shortly after God of War: Ghost of Sparta, but more than 13 years after the original God of War. Having slain Ares, Kratos is now the new God of War — yet the other gods refuse to accept him because of his brutal treatment of the rest of Greece's city-states. Still tormented by memories of the deeds he committed under Ares, Kratos finds his only solace in leading and aiding his Spartan army as it conquers Greece. Athena begs him to stop, warning that she can't shield him from Olympus's wrath much longer and that he shouldn't turn his back on the goddess who made him a god. Kratos retorts that he owes her nothing and descends into the battle of Rhodes to fight alongside his Spartans.
