God of War Paperback – May 25, 2010

Good book, really invested in the story. Never played the 1st game but wow it really pulls you in.

Its a great indepth adaptation to the game. You get more of the story other then Kratos's view.

Absolutely loved this book! My husband and I had gotten the new God of War game which takes place years after the original series that this book is based on. Instead of trying to find the time to play the game since I have kids and not wanting to just read the wiki I bought this book.I’m not disappointed at all! This was brilliant, even if it is a play by play of some of the battles. For someone who hasn’t played the games and wants to know about the series, this is brutally beautiful (and I mean that in the best way possible).I have even watched, after finishing the book, an hour or so long video on YouTube that’s just the main points of the game/cutscenes (I think the channel is called GameMovies) and it was awesome to see it all after reading the book!So worth it and the price on the kindle. 10/10 Best book! Gonna grab the next one as soon as I can!

I have read many adaptations of video games, and this this one is good, but not great. I enjoyed it because I love God of War, but if you don't love the game you'll probably not like this book. The best part of the book was the conversations between the gods.

Great book for fans of the video game series, and this particular game that it's based on. It gives more details about why Athena wanted Kratos to kill Ares and explains that she persuaded the other gods (and how) into helping Kratos by giving him powers or weapons. She did not persuade Zeus, who knew what Athena was doing, but he helped Kratos (as both himself and the gravedigger) regardless as he wanted Kratos to become the God of War. Some things are omitted. For example, in the game, he meets Hades who gives him the Army of Hades magic power. That's omitted. And in the game, Athena gives Kratos the Blades of Athena after he takes the throne as the new God of War. That is also omitted. He instead receives Athena's Blade in the beginning of the second book. Hermes, who wasn't in the game, appears in the book and informs Athena about various things relating to Kratos, such as when Kratos tried to commit suicide.For those who have never played the games, or this particular game that it's based on, it's still a good and fun book.

Its a book that inspires video games, or the other way round. Fast paced, hardly a page goes by without action - ridiculous. Very basic character development. If you start it you will probably want to finish it but it does not compare to the excellent caine books in any remote way. In fact I cannot believe its the same author. Read it only if you have no choice.

This is my 1st audio book and it was absolutely amazing. I've played the entire God of War series video game on playstation. When I saw this I knew it was a must have. It was absolutely amazing!! I played God of War many years ago and I just relive the whole experience. It was amazing listening to his description and actually be able to visualize that part of the game once again. I am definitely going to go looking for God of War part 2 book right now

Very happy. The God of War series is my favorite game series of all time and this book is an awesome addition to the series. While not the same as actually playing the game it's still very enjoyable and is a different way to experience the story. If you are a God of War fan I would highly recommend this. No complaints.
