I JUST beat this today! I did love the buildup of the final boss as you climbed the coliseum seeing visions of Ares. Plus to discover that no only is Ares the one controlling the Romans but also shows up in person to reveal that all this is his doing. The battle with him was hard as shit though but felt real good defeating him. My only complaint is there could of been one last cutscene after the battle to wrap up the game’s story instead of just going right to the credits. Other then that, good game.
Fun fact there is an unused track intended for this fight. Its simply titled Ares unused and go listen to it, then you'll be left with the same burning question of WHY IN GOD'S NAME they didn't use such perfection.
Both look great, imo. I would say though…. Ares in this game is much more of a bastard for causing devastation to Greece, of course God of War’s isn’t far behind but I would say this version is much more of a bastard.
To this day, I *still* hear the music swell at 5:33 and think "X is dead." when I see a tough villain go down in a game or other story. I know that that's not...that great of a moment in this game. I have no idea why that's stuck with me so long.
Imagine this game with 2024 graphics and maybe a bit of update on dialogue and difficulty. It'd be among the best games of it's year (like it was in 2005 imo)
another great game that I ignore back in the generation that I thought gaming was going downhill(yes after Sega dreamcast went under late in 2001 and became a third party company that when I thought gaming went downhill) it looks great
Just a guess, but I believe if you can avoid him throwing you away, he won't revive soldiers. He kept kiting Ares. Ares could never throw him away in this fight.
@@CG-ej8nu stupid game cuz you haven't even played it cuz you never had a ps2 I bet you have a ps4 playing fortnite that's even worse let me tell you this ps2 sold more than ps4
Not many know this, but Ares' affair with Aphrodites was revealed by Helios, who came up from the night sky to bring the dawn with his chariot and caught the pair in the bed of Ephaistos. So technically if it wasn't specified as a handmaiden, one of the parents of the Spartan with no name would be Helios, the Sun God.
amazing game no doubt about it, but i had hoped that Ares had a little bit of a more expanded moveset tbh, since he seems to carry so many weapons with him
When i was a kid playing this game i didnt pay attention to the story because my hearing was bad. But now older and understandinf wtf he just said as well as context of greek mytho history. This fucker really just brought an entire war and brought so much death just cuz a handmaiden ratted his ntr ass to the husband.
Cant beat the final boss, summons too many foes, about to give up, why on earth were these old games so hard...Edit.. well just got after some persistence. Recommend 2 swords, and their magic affects easier too
I can see why people prefered god of war, wtf is this plot twist lmao, god of war 2005 has an underrated story, the pacing was amazing, the whole story was poetic and mythological. But this game still has one hell of a gameplay, god of wat combat might be more creative, but personally i prefer this gameplay, it way more satisfying. I don't know about a remake as the story wasn't that great, but when will we ever get a game with the same combat system??? This combat system was one of the best.
It's really sad because the game is actually pretty good, but it had the unfortunate timing to come out after God of War 1 and gets labeled as such. To me and a lot of others, while it didn't age perfectly it still brings many of us back. I doubt it'll ever get a remake or sequel, but it'd be definitely interesting to see it return slightly upressed on modern platforms. Sega is really touch and go with stuff like that though.
@@ZayToDiffrent Better soundtrack, better setting, better voice cast, better bosses, more epic scope to it where you feel part of the battle and it has a much more interesting story. God of War is overrated. Also, this was in development before God of War, so it's actually an offbrand of this.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 1. The soundtrack in god of war 3 is enough to disagree 2. Better setting? What about fighting Cronos or the colossus of Rhodes, 3. That bosses statement was unfair because god of war has 47 bosses and one game alone AGAIN is enough to beat your statement. 4. The story is so much better in god of war and more interesting being that he is Zeus son the marked warrior a spartan general and the god of war. 5. If we are talking about scale and shit then it’s no competition what so ever. Being in developing before a game doesn’t make the game a off brand especially if it’s better.
when speech is 50% of the whole fight :D
Lol
Lmaooo🤣🤣🤣 he talks too much
Every villain boss signature move - monologuing.

I can literally remember this boss fight when I was like 6. Good game.
You are a damn god! You could finish the arena fight before this? Wow!
The fighting didn’t age well
But imagine someone remaking this Masterpiece!?
This is the masterpiece and I can't imagine how much happy would I be when it will get remaked
God of War is the remake and it is pretty popular.
@@BlueGoblin1 no this game was made to compete with God of war and it succeed
God of war 2018 could never compete honestly if this was remade and I'm still waiting for my FUCKING SEQUAL TO THIS GAME FUCKING HELL

Giant Man gives Giant Exposition...
then gets his butt kicked and takes a Giant Fall.
Awesome gameplay 🔥
Ares: I tricked you to take my revenge on you.
Spartan: Understandable have a nice day
Ares here talking the same way as in gow
“I was trying to make you a great warrior”
another great game that I ignore back in the generation that I thought gaming was going downhill(yes after Sega dreamcast went under late in 2001 and became a third party company that when I thought gaming went downhill) it looks great
Far out, it has been countless years since ive plqyed this and the game sounds are still so familiar like i heard them yesterday
Thanks man
Did you manipulate his AI to not have him spawn dead soldiers around him or something?
Thats the most annoying thing he does.
Just a guess, but I believe if you can avoid him throwing you away, he won't revive soldiers. He kept kiting Ares. Ares could never throw him away in this fight.
Ares was a chaos worrior...

Well God of war released march and this game on June at the same Year
My boy GoW was released before this
@@lightmohamed5700same people made it but spartan was in development before gow
@@jimmy6839 doesn’t matter GoW is not influenced by it nor was it started by it
A greek soldier fight a greek god.
This guy almost made me threw my controller. It's nice to see him fight like a man here, in my fight, he likes to spam reviving magic every minute.
The greatest game of all time, i will never forget this legendary game 🔥
love this game so much Ares was such a fn monster in this game

i wonder which game come out first god of war or spartan total warrior
Childhood game 💯🤌
Masterpiece.
Awesome!!
That's the type of ares i wanted in the first god of war game.
En serio venci a este cabron de chiquito sin saber que se podía mejorar las cosas y AL PUTO SEGUNDO INTENTO? (Fue la hazaña más grande de mi vida lol)
I wish they would remake this game such a fire game
What is the End Credits theme called?
I want a remaster already
amazing game no doubt about it, but i had hoped that Ares had a little bit of a more expanded moveset tbh, since he seems to carry so many weapons with him
The soldiers...dont rise....sometring strange....

This fucker really just brought an entire war and brought so much death just cuz a handmaiden ratted his ntr ass to the husband.
So he is son of Aphrodite and his father will be Kratos.
How can i play this game please i dont have ps2
Emulators i think.... Didn't said anything tho 👀
@@Ghost-1944 do you know a good emulator for pc please 🙏❤️
PCSX2 is the best ps2 emulator for pc

@@thelucasnoleta2673 thank you ❤️
Clearly Ares can't be able to defeat a mortal spartan, blessed with powers, along with Kratos. lol
Ta no moto facil também
Aaa pero porq no levanta alos muertos haci tiene más dificultad .
this fight would by far better whit not the extra enemys
New god of war looks good
I doubt this will happen but I hope this can be part of the new PlayStation Premium subscription
I loved this discount T rated god of war. So much fun on the gamecube.
The 30
@John McAlister Huh, well I'll be. I could remember it being rated T. I guess my memory ain't so good these days.
Wait, then who was the Player's Dad?
They never mentioned it but I'd bet it's probably Perseus.
OmG i love so mutch this game
Lol weirdest villain motivation of all time
Full gameplay plis
Search other videi instead genius
Kratos be jealous
KRATOS DESTROYED THE OLYMPUS
Kratos destroyed the olympus I don't think he is jealous
Kratos be impressed
Kratos proud to spartan the one warrior can be make so much damage...
پشگیرم بکەن ❤❤
That voice acting is weird af, I swear Ares is burping instead of talking
I'm watching ▶️📺 right now and I droped a super 👍💪 (FIRST) for you buddy 😉🆒.
Perfect
They really thought you need to be afk for 5 mins to be defeated by ares...Idiots 😂
This fight is on easy mode. Hard is much more challenging
Cant beat the final boss, summons too many foes, about to give up, why on earth were these old games so hard...Edit.. well just got after some persistence. Recommend 2 swords, and their magic affects easier too
So much memmories 🤍💯
A mi me desepciono mucho la pelea del jefe final cuando lo jugue por primera vez xd, fue muy facil
Big ass pushover lol
He didnt even sumon his minions lol this guy always cheese everything
Where Kratos? 😂😂

This game was equal with god of war
Why ares is there I thought ares is from god of war 1
Bro Ares is from Greek mythology
