God of war is a third person game where you play the role of Kratos the God of war from the Greek mythology . When the game starts, Kratos has been serving the gods for ten years. He kills the Hydra
on behalf of Poseidon, but grows tired of his service and suffering. He
summons Athena, who states that if Kratos performs one final act—the
murder of Ares—he will be forgiven for the killing of his family. Athena
assigns Kratos to destroy Ares because Zeus has forbidden divine
intervention. The goddess guides Kratos to the city of Athens, which is
under siege by Ares' minions. After a strange encounter with a
gravedigger, who encourages him to continue his task, Kratos battles his
way to Athens' oracle, finds her, and learns that the only way to
defeat Ares is to locate and use Pandora's Box, a mythical artifact that
grants the power to kill a god.
Kratos recovers Pandora's Box from Ares, opens it, and uses its power to become godlike. Despite Ares' best efforts to destroy Kratos physically and mentally, including stripping him of the Blades of Chaos and all magic, he survives and kills Ares with the Blade of the Gods. Athens is saved, and although Athena tells Kratos his sins are forgiven, the gods cannot rid him of his nightmares. Forsaken by the gods, he tries to commit suicide by casting himself into the Aegean Sea, but Athena intervenes and transports him to Mount Olympus. As a reward for his services to the gods, she provides Kratos with a new set of blades and the seat as the new God of War
