[edit] Story

Following the events of the first God of War, Kratos is framed for the murder of Hera's pet, Argos, by an unknown assassin in an effort to destroy the anti-hero's reputation with the gods of Olympus. Kratos pursues him through Greece in order to discover the identity of the assassin's master, who is attempting to turn the gods against him. However, the son of Hermes, Ceryx, is sent to deliver a message to Kratos from Zeus, who's becoming increasingly concerned with the amount of destruction left in Kratos' aftermath. Ceryx confronts Kratos, but the god of war refuses to cease and engages the messenger in battle. Taking advantage of the situation, the assassin escapes. Kratos kills Ceryx and the Spartan soldiers celebrate, but observing the dead god's body he realizes that Zeus would eventually take action for this act of defiance.
