Get both for sure and play them in order. The two of them are almost one long story. Both excellent games.

I just played GoW1 back in the fall. It was good but I mostly did marathon sessions and it got redundant in that situation. It's about a ten hour game, it was fun, but I definitely recommend breaking it down into smaller sessions.

God of War 2 also just went Greatest Hits, so now is a perfect time to pick them up. You definitely need to play 1 and 2 in order, like noonan4224 said, they are pretty much one long story.

I haven't played it yet but I'm pretty sure it's a prequel to the 1st.

I played the games in long sessions and loved them. Couldn't play them in short spurts because I didn't want to stop. Definitely worth picking up both games and, like others have said, played in order. IMO, the best games on the PS2.

So... I picked this up on everyone's recommendation and am playing, er, one of the mini-games. Does anyone know what the PS3 button equivalents are for the left-down and right-down arrows?
Am enjoying the game so far except for some of the extreme button-mashing moments.

I have GoW on PSP and loved it. I have GoW on PS2 but I never got around to finishing it. And now that I own a non-bc PS3, I don't play my PS2 games at all, as I simply don't have room at the moment to hook up my PS2. I do want to get around to finishing the game, however. I was really enjoying it. Don't know why I stopped playing!
