God of War 2 Impressions Roundup

Impressions from the sequel to a tale about a very angry man. From the IGN hands-on: "Though he's riding atop a Pegasus, the combat here looks to be nearly identical to what you'll find on the ground. A few demonic creatures atop gryphons soon catch up with Kratos and begin swarming about, trying to knock him off his winged transport. Lashing out with his blades (of Chaos or Athena's, we're not sure, as Sony is a little hesitant to make perfectly clear), Kratos takes them out one by one while his mount does the flying."

In regards to the sequel...

I am sure I read somewhere that the reason that GOW2 isn't going to be a PS3 specific game is that it would be easier and cheaper to use all the custom tools the studio created in the production of the original over again. I also got the impression from the behind the scenes material on the game that the studio had to cut a lot intended gameplay out because they just ran out of time.
