God of War Storyline

Set in the dark world of ancient Greek mythology, players take
on the role of Kratos, a Spartan warrior. Plagued by the nightmares of his past,
the ash covered warrior would do anything to be free of his debt to the Gods and
the memories that haunt him. For ten years he has labored for Olympus, now on
the verge of losing all hope, the Gods have given him one last task. Destroy
Ares, the God of War. Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, Kratos will
have to overcome armies of mythological monsters, legions of undead soldiers,
and amazingly dangerous and brutal landscapes.

God of War II Storyline

God of War saw Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic
quest to dethrone a God. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II,
Kratos sits atop his Olympus throne, as the new God of War – far more ruthless
than Ares ever was. To end his continued torment, Kratos must journey to the far
reaches of the earth and defeat untold horrors and alter that which no mortal,
or god has ever changed… his fate. God of War sets an epic stage for a
devastating mythological war to end all wars.
