I got both Shadow of the Colossus and God of War for 20 bucks each at EB. The platform boss is a major drag, in both of the games. I'm going to soldier through them due to masochism and one sex minigame. However I'd feel like I was working towards something if I could be told that God of War 2 was at least Devil May Cry 2, I'd be thrilled if it was Devil May Cry 1, and I know you're lying if you say it's Devil May Cry 3.

FAVOR: GoW2
-------------------------------
1. Where are the load times? There are none!
2. Epicness
3. Excellent pacing
4. "Hero" is heroic in the sense of "performing mighty feats" not "being a cool-ass dude"
5. Gleefully brutal kills - less like DMC's stance-dancing, more like slamming a door on Theseus' head over and over again. Or ripping the heads clean offa things!
6. Sunshine!
7. Voice acting does not suck!
8. Pushes the limits of what the PS2 is capable of!

FAVOR: DMC(more 3 than 2 or 1)
-------------------
1. Castlevania fans: this is your world, DMC is just bringing it to true 3D.
2. More stuff to fiddle with - more weapons, more swapping them around, more bells and whistles. The brutal kills in GoW are, you know, pre-formed. In DMC you do it all yourself. GoW2 is not any different in this respect.
3. Opera grotto. Fuck you, I loved that opera grotto.
4. Fun slant lunacy, like guitar kills. I don't have all the unlocks in GoW2 yet so I don't know if you can do the cook/businessman/etc. style bonuses like in GoW1, but at least in DMC you don't have to unlock jack shit to get a guitar.
5. Voice acting is hilariously bad, like a Dolph Lundgren movie!
6. No sex minigame! Sure it's funny the first 540 times, but then you get depressed and think about the life you are not living because you are playing GoW. DMC never puts you in that position.

GoW2 is way better than DMC2. We prove this as follows:

(GoW1 > DMC2) /\ (GoW2 > GoW1) = GoW2 > DMC2
