Athena pleads that Kratos stop, telling him that she cannot protect him much longer from the wrath of Olympus and that he should not turn his back on her because it was she who made him a god. He finds enjoyment the only way he can, by leading and aiding his Spartan army in conquering Greece. Kratos is still haunted by memories of the deeds from his past while working under Ares. God of War II takes place shortly after the events of God of War: Ghost of Sparta, but over 13 years after the events of God of War Kratos, after defeating Ares, has become the new God of War, but unfortunately has not been accepted by the other Gods due to his ruthless treatment of the other Greek city-states. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. These items offer small enhancements in terms of gameplay over God of War, such as Icarus' Wings (an item cut from the original game), which allows the player to glide short distances, the Golden Fleece, which allows players to repel projectiles, and the Blades of Athena, an item returning from the first game which now lets players swing from highlighted objects. Like the previous God of War, Kratos receives numerous weapons and magical powers all throughout his quest, given to him by certain characters, or taken from his enemies. Another element that returns from the previous game is Kratos ability to find Red Orbs to level up his weapons and magic and Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers to increase his health and magic meters. It also keeps the concept of using minigames to perform bloody kills. The player controls Kratos through a combination of combat, platforming, and puzzle game elements. The gameplay of God of War II is very similar to that of its predecessor. God of War II won a Golden Joystick for "PlayStation Game of the Year 2007" at the 2007 Golden Joystick Awards. It also includes different box art, a bonus DVD, as well as the PAL version of the game. The European/Australian PAL version comes in two different editions: a single disc standard edition and a two disc "Special Edition" that comes in a different case than the single disc edition. The first disc contains the game, and the second disc is dedicated to the game's development, including a diary of the game's production. The North American NTSC version of God of War II is packaged in a two-disc set. It was released in North America on March 13, 2007, in Europe on April 27, and on in Australia. God of War II is a hack-and-slash action-adventure video game and the sequel to the God of War video game for the PlayStation 2.
