God of War 2 Retrospective

God of War 2 Retrospective. The follow up to the legendary first entry had a lot to live up to. This week I take a look at the second title in the series and pick apart each aspect of its design to see if it lived up to the expectations set by the first.

I honestly wasn't sure I'd be able to get this video finished by today, but seeing all of the incredible feedback you guys left on the first video, I knew I had to get it done and get it done right. I did my best to use the suggestions you guys had from the first video to make this one better, but please let me know if there's anything else that could use a tweak in the comments. Enjoy!

QUICK CORRECTION: In both this video and the first retrospective I referred to Kratos's voice actor as Terrance C. Howard. His name is Terrance C. Carson and I'm sorry for this silly mistake. It will be fixed and addressed in the third video.
