Finally fans of the God Of War series can get to the bottom of Kratos' origin.
This action game series first made its appearance in 2005, and this prequel is the seventh incarnation of this bloody Ancient Greek mythological realm where Titans, Gods and mortals clash.

The wrath of the Primordials raged for an eternity (creating Earth as their gargantuan bodies fell) - this led to the creation of the Furies (charged to punish the traitors, like those breaking blood oaths). Enter our flawed hero Kratos, who'd broken his oath to his master Ares, the God of War. Chained for this indiscretion, Kratos escapes the Fury that trapped him - and pity the fool who gets in his way (man or Titan)!

A barrage of enemies (from small to enormous) must be defeated with deadly force (usually with Kratos' chained Blades Of Fury), puzzles need to be solved, and traps outsmarted.

Acquiring three relics will assist you on your brutal quest, including the Oath Stone of Orkos, the Amulet of Uroborus and the Eyes of Truth (which includes construction and deconstruction, creating a shadow version of Kratos and counteracting illusions imposed by the Furies to mess with your head).

Chests contain green, blue and red orbs, essential in recuperating health and boosting magic.

This is the first time in God Of War that you can hit on-line multi-player mode with up to 8 players.
