God of War is a single player game that features a third-person perspective view with a fixed camera. The player controls the character Kratos, a Spartan warrior in the service of the Olympian Gods in a mixture of combat, both normal and quick time, with platforming and puzzle game elements. The player guides the protagonist through a long series of tests, trials and mazes to achieve goals. The game is loosely based on Greek mythology, and is set in Ancient Greece. | God of War is a single player game that features a third-person perspective view with a fixed camera.

I have noticed a total freeze occur during the third phase of Ares Boss fight and the growls would just loop on and on. This could possibly be due to mtVU since it is warned it may cause hanging, though not fully certain. This issue has also in fact been experienced by some others on real PS2s, so it is possibly just a bad bug. I suggest using save states in case this ever happens. I suggest enabling mtVU because without it, the game is unable to maintain 60fps in heavy battles. Do use OpenGL (Hardware) or software rendering of any backend to render shadows. OpenGL (Hardware) is much more demanding on the GPU than other hardware backends. Disabling Framebuffer helps however. A GTX 750 Ti is able to run it at 720p maximum. | ||

|Comments=Unless you set the CRC hack level to Partial or Aggressive, most of the screen will be bright green, essentially making the game unplayable. I tried Aggressive initially, but that messed up the shadows, so I changed it to Partial, which was fine. Initially there was noticeable lag when fighting multiple enemies, but enabling MTVU eliminated the lag, and from then on, the game ran at full speed. However, it's clearly quite demanding on my PC (it's normally almost silent and the fans got very loud, and the PC became warm to the touch), so I'd recommend using VU cycle stealing for mid to low-end PCs. Once I'd enabled MTVU, there were no other issues. Fully playable. | |||

There's also green along the nets of the ship at the beginning of the game. This is just a consequence of upscaling. They go away on software renderer. | |||
|Workaround=Turn half-pixel offset hack to Special (Texture) to remove vertical lines. | |||
