God of war is a third person action adventure game released in 2005.
The setting is placed in ancien Greece where you play the protagonist Kratos, a Spartan warrior who serves the Olympian Gods.
He was once a successful captain in the Spartan army, and he let his men to many victories, before he was defeated by a barbarian king. Facing death, Kratos called on the God of War, Ares, who he promised to serve if the god could spare him and his men, and provide them power to destroy their enemies.
He later lead an attack on a willage occupied by worshipers of Athena. Ares had behind Kratos back, secretly transported Kratos' wife and child to the village. During this attack, Kratos accidentally killed his family. Ares thought this act would free Kratos to become the perfect warrior. The oracle of the destroyed village cursed him by bonding the ashes of his dead family to his skin, turning it ashwhite.
Athena tasks Kratos with killing Ares. He goes out to find the one object that is capeable of stoping Ares. ''Pandoras Box''. After an epic quest, Kratos successfuly kills Ares as the new God of War.

While playing the game you see a lot of known mythical creatures such as Minotaur, Centaurs, Medusa, Cyclops and others. I've always been interested in creatures and mythology, so the design of those are very important to me when I play a game. It gives it a huge extra pluss for me when they have welldesigned creatures and surroundings. Therefor I will show a couple that you can see in the various god of War games.
