God of War II is a third person action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game was released for the PlayStation 2 on 2007, serving as the second installment in the God of War series, and the sixth chronologically. The game is loosely based on Greek mythology and set in ancient Greece, where the player controls Kratos, the new God of War who killed the former, Ares. Kratos is betrayed by Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods, who strips him his godhood and kills him. Slowly dragged to the Underworld, he is saved by the Titan Gaia, who instructs him to find the Sisters of Fate, as they can allow him to travel back in time, avert his betrayal, and take revenge on Zeus. |
