For now should be said that I can not draw any direct comparison to the original parts of the PS2, I rather to a Nintendo trip was at this time. But thanks to Sony's HD Collectionen I must make up for the two beads with enthusiasm. About the gameplay of God of War 1 +2 I will not waste words as this have already made other buyers. Nevertheless, I will go to the high that is indeed the decisive factor in this collection definition. I drew comparisons based moving images ... one can say without contradiction Sony her job have passed with flying colors .. better textures and lighting effects sting as much in the eye, which are for PS3 level quite in order and lifts the atmosphere more. Since one has made an effort over the two games away! ... Unfortunately, this only applies to in-game scenes. DH turn the all cutscenes (and these are not necessarily few) were unaffected ported from the PS2. Pixelated, worse Lichteffekte..PS2 graphics up! I found personally a little sad ... but it tarnishes any way the gameplay is generated in God of War. Possess strong buy recommendation at this price, even for people who already GoW.
PS: Bought was the Essential EU version. The German USK version this is no different. With the exception of a tiny scene this version are both Uncut! (When called censoring just look at "section reports." Nothing serious.)
