"A Great Collection"
This is a great collection of the first two God of War games. I have reviewed each of them separately, so I won't delve into each of those for this review. Instead, I'll cover what is done with these updated versions and how it enhances or takes away from the experience of each.
Fortunately, not much is messed with for these titles. While there isn't a whole slew of bonus content for either game that wasn't already included with the original disks, both games are upgraded to a 720p resolution at 60 frames per second. This helps a bunch with the fluidity of fighting and the smoothness of in-game cutscenes and setpieces.
Overall, for the combination of both games and some graphical enhancements, I say this collection is a bit greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore it gets a point boost for combining these games as an upgraded package at a reasonable price. It's much better to play these games in HD than at SD separately, and if you are able to find this collection at a reasonable price I would say go ahead and pull the trigger on it. I can Recommend this collection and its enhancements to fans of the originals or newcomers to the series, as it is one of the definitive ways to play these games currently.
Final Verdict: 8/10 (Great)
