Only started playing this today, and in a word, it's awesome...
every bit as good as the first, if not better, its fun, its imaginative, the controls are fluid and easy to use...
the battle with the colossus at the start more than rivals the battle with the kraken from the start of the first game, and i swear, i laughed my ass off for a full ten minutes when kratos shoved that horse keepers head between the doors and started slamming the door against it over and over and over...
brilliant... can't wait to play some more...
ps3 imo isnt dead and buried... so what if the games are multi-platform, i dont think thats going to make that huge a difference once sony drop the price to a reasonable level...
though i will admit, the lack of backwards compatibility and the whole blueray thing don't help to sell what is by any means a pretty good machine...
