God of War is a third person action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). The game was released on March 22, 2005, for the PlayStation 2 (PS2) console. It is the first installment in the series of the same name and the second chronologically. The game is loosely based on Greek mythology and set in Ancient Greece, with vengeance as its central motif. The player controls the protagonist Kratos, a Spartan warrior who serves the Olympian Gods. The goddess Athena tasks Kratos with killing Ares, the God of War, who is responsible for Kratos accidentally killing his family. As Ares besieges Athens out of hatred for Athena, Kratos embarks on a quest to find the one object capable of stopping the god: the legendary Pandora's Box. Successful, Kratos replaces Ares as the new God of War.

The gameplay of God of War focuses on combo-based combat, achieved through the player's main weapon—the Blades of Chaos—and a secondary weapon acquired later. The game features quick time events that require the player to complete various game controller actions in a timed sequence to defeat stronger enemies and bosses. The player can use up to four magical attacks and a power enhancing ability as alternative combat options. The game also features puzzles and platforming elements.

As of June 2012, the game had sold more than 4.6 million copies worldwide. Reviewers have said God of War is one of the best action-adventure games for the PlayStation 2, and it has won several "Game of the Year" awards. In 2009, entertainment website IGN named God of War the seventh-best PlayStation 2 game. In addition to its gameplay, God of War has been highly regarded for its graphics, sound, presentation, and story. The game and its first sequel, God of War II, were remastered and released in 2009 as part of the God of War Collection, and in 2012, the remastered version was re-released as part of the God of War Saga, both for the PlayStation 3 (PS3). A novelization of the game was released in 2010 and a film adaptation has been in development since 2005.
