Yeah, and there's only a few boss fights in the first one.. the second one's a lot better but both are just average. I played the Red Star recently and it's WAY more fun, it's got the beat-em-up style gameplay, but it also has shooting (like Contra -- but in 3D and actually works, unlike the 3D Contras!), and it's got shoot-em-up parts where you get into a plane and kill things.
God of War feels a lot like Devil May Cry without the cool atmosphere and without the fun (if a bit sloppy) gameplay; even those games aren't that great but they get by on how entertaining the setting is... the eerie but sometimes rawkin' soundtracks, the b-movie cheesiness, the cool backgrounds, and a neat main character (at least when he isn't making one liners). Kratos feels like a big dumb unlikeable "anti-hero", and the few boss fights feel like shitty Shadow of the Collosus wannabes.
Oh well, should be able to resell em really easily.
