I'm not ever good at the God Challange either. Have any of you made it through that?

I have not played II yet, but am looking forward to doing so. The next game I want to by is Rouge Galaxy. I love the RPG's.
I finished on Normal as well. I bought the first one as I heard about this game very late and managed to buy it once it had gone platinum for reallllly cheap. I'm going to try it on God mode now as i'm waiting for God of War 2 to get a bit cheaper before I buy it as well...
It's one of those games that is actually a load of fun to play the second time. Especially after a stressful day at work, you just come home and let those blades loose with combo after combo slicing and dicing through enemies.. ahhhh, the bloody goodness of it =)))

Although, I mentioned 2 in my original post as I hired number 2 on the weekend. I only had it for one night to test it out and let me say it's just a freakin awesome as the first.
You start off in the first level with your blades powered up to level 5 and some of the combo's are awesome! I found one spot on the first level where you can kind of build up your red orbs,,, so I spent about an hour just doing that, only to discover at the end of the first level you loose all your power ups that you start with, plus all the orbs you've built up..
BUT, I got though probably about 6 or 7 levels on it (doesn't actually have seperated levels as such.. it kind of just keeps following on into different area's)..
They absolutely got the second game perfect!!! It's really more of the same, but everything is just that little bit more touched up (if that's possible)...
Just the scope of the landscapes and the control over you have over your character and everything...

If you never play these games, well, your life probably won't be any worse, but once you've got into these games,,,,, you're expectation of what you can get out of a game will rise about 10 times...

I hope that if they are working on a God of War 3 on playstation 3 they DON'T rush this one out.. I'm even willing to wait another 3 or 4 years if that's what it takes to get every spec of power out of the PS3 like they have out of the late PS2.... What a game it will be!!!
