Released March 13, 2007, Kratos returns to the PS2 in the sequel to God of War. God of War II picks up not terribly long after the original game's end, with Kratos having exacted his revenge upon the previous god of war, Ares. But even with all these newfangled godly powers, Kratos is unsatisfied. He continues to command the Spartan army and directs them to tear through the known world. This utter disregard for the other citizens of Greece displeases the pantheon. Betrayed by Athena and seemingly killed by Zeus, Kratos is rescued by Gaia of the Titans. Gaia instructs Kratos that his fate can be changed, but only if he can reach the ridiculously remote temple that houses the Sisters of Fate. Source: SDA Game page

The gameplay of God of War II is very similar to that of God of War. It focuses on combo-based combat, achieved through the player's main weapon—Athena's Blades—and secondary weapons acquired later. The game features quick time events that require the player to complete various game controller actions in a timed sequence to defeat stronger enemies and bosses. The player can use up to four magical attacks and a power enhancing ability as alternative combat options. The game also features puzzles and platforming elements. In addition to its vastly similar gameplay, God of War II features improved puzzles and four times as many bosses as the original.

God of War II has been regarded as one of the best PlayStation 2 games and action games. In 2009, IGN listed it as the second best PlayStation 2 game of all time, and both IGN and GameSpot consider it the "swan song" of the PlayStation 2 era. In 2012, Complex magazine named God of War II the best PlayStation 2 game of all time. The game has sold more than 4.2 million copies worldwide as of June 2012, and was the best-selling game in the UK during the week of its release. God of War II, along with God of War, was remastered and released on November 17, 2009, as part of the God of War Collection for the PlayStation 3 (PS3). The remastered version was re-released on August 28, 2012, as part of the God of War Saga, also for the PlayStation 3. Source: Wikipedia.org

For those who stumble across these videos, a speed run is a video of a person or persons, completing a game as fast as possible using any means possible. This can include glitches, abusing in-game mechanics and skipping items or even playing events out of sequence.
