Fuckin Gully


I just played a demo version of the PS2 game "God of War". Holy shit it was gully. Its the Hydra level, the first level. Youre basically this dude who has to kill a God. The combat is really bloody but incredibly fluid, linking moves is easy. The graphics are tremendous. The Hydra really startles you, and the game does a bunch of things to switch up the gameplay - for example, at times you have to tap a certain button at the right time, Parappa-style, to deal a blow to the hydra. Later on, you are in its mouth and the Hydra attempts to close his mouth, but you have to keep it open by rappidly tapping the circle button a buncha times. The last battle requires you to think. Two of the Hydra's heads made holes on either side of the boat and attempt to kill you. The Hydra's third and largest head can only be accesed by climbing to a higher platform, but the 2 smaller heads attack you and you wont be able to do that. After you take most of the 2 heads' lives, they will fall to the side, breaking boxes. After about 30 seconds, they come back to life. I tried knocking both heads out and climbing, but that doesnt work. SPOILER ALERT: This is how you do it. There are boxes on both sides of the stage, and when the heads break a few, you can climb them, and you go to this platform with a sharp object on the bottom. The platform falls and you pin down the head by its neck. You do this to both heads, climb up, where a huge head awaits and...the demo ends. Shit. I gotta buy that shit.
