Label: Game

Gameplay is very similar to the original installment. The player controls the character Kratos in a combination of combat (both normal and quick-time), platforming and puzzle game elements. Many of the familiar combination attacks reappear, the game features four times as many boss fights and improved puzzles in comparison to the original.

Kratos' main weapons are Athena's Blades (or Blades of Athena), with other new weapons including the Barbarian Hammer, the Spear of Destiny and periodically, the Blade of Olympus. Although Kratos initially begins the game with Athena's Blades and the magic ability Poseidon's Rage at maximum, these abilities are lost after an encounter with Zeus.

There are several relics also available, including the previously acquired Poseidon's Trident, and new additions, the Amulet of the Fates, Golden Fleece and Icarus' Wings.

Magic is available via "Typhon's Bane", "Cronos' Rage", "Head of Euryale" and "Atlas Quake". Kratos also acquires a special ability called Rage of the Titans, which replaces Rage of the gods from the previous installment.

Health and Magic upgrades - Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers respectively - reappear, with six items needed for an upgrade. Rage of the Titans can also be replenished. All three upgrades are found in a chest of corresponding colour (health green; magic blue and Rage yellow) in addition to other chests (red) that provide experience yielding orbs. There are also three special chests that provide an upgrade to Health, Magic bars and experience respectively. Several urns are also hidden in the game and on completion of the Challenge mode will unlock special abilities.

The sex mini-game included in the previous installment returns (being an encounter with two hand maidens), a revised challenge mode (seven trials called "Challenge of the Titans") that unlocks the abilities in the urns found during the first playthrough and the new "Arena of the Fates" which allows players to create their own battles.
