God of War 2: Divine Retribution ready for action
God of War 2: Divine Retribution director Cory Barlog updated his blog last weekend now that the PS2 game is nearly completed for its release on March 13th in America and April in Europe.
* The God of War II game length is around 15-17 hours.
* The new weapons switching is a single button (R2) and it is fast and easy. There is no animation delay and you can switch from the Blades of Athena in mid move to The Barbarian Hammer, do a big hit, and then switch to any of the four magic’s to hit the creature some more, and if you like (and the creature is still alive) you can switch back tot he Blades of Athena to do the final kill move… all while keeping your combo going.
* The lack of original magic’s from God of War 1… we were not able to get the full “everything you had from the first game crosses over to the second†functionality we originally set out to do. There just was not enough memory for that, but we did add some cool stuff for the second play-through of the game in the form of Urns that you find that allow you to assign a power or functionality to whatever model you choose. So if you want to use Poseidon’s Rage again you can, you just have to find the Urn that gives you that power hidden somewhere in the world of God of War 2.
Take a look at this new trailer featuring enormous bosses, new weapons & great graphics for the PS2’s swan song!

Awesome Trailer!
I also like the fact that we can use our GoW save files to continue from same stats in Gow2
