It was very well received by critics and fans alike and was the recipient of many awards, including "Game of the Year" honors from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. In 2007, IGN named God of War as the greatest PlayStation 2 game of all time, on their Top 25 PS2 Games list. The game is now available in the PlayStation 2's lineup of Greatest Hits. A sequel titled God of War II was released on March 13, 2007. A mobile game, God of War: Betrayal fills the story gap between God of War and God of War II.

Excellent, not a particularly innovative title, but it does what it does brilliantly.

One of my favorite all time games. Excellent! When I first played this I was not expecting it to be so much fun, it really surprised me. I could not help but to put everything on hold to slash my way through this game. Love the chain blades.
