Battle the Colossus in God of War 2
January 31, 2007
Kotaku has a writeup on what it’s like to battle the Colossus in the latest demo for God of War 2. The epic boss battle that sets the stage for the game recalls the incredible Hydra sequence at the start of the first God of War title. One can only hope that the designers plan to kick off every GoW game with an intense fight scene. Kotaku’s Brian Crecente on what it is like to face the beast: “There’s much rolling about and trying to dodge giant-sweepy arms, and of course dispatching of normal-sized bad guys. Finally, you can hump it over to a nearby ballista which you can use to first attack the big statue guy and then to launch yourself on to him. Once you mount the statue, the battle turns into timed button pushes which do some amazing bits of damage and really flexes the graphics muscles of the Playstation 2. My favorite bit here was the eye-gouging. You gotta love that.” To see the game in action, GameVideos can accomodate you in a three part series of moving pictures.
