God of War II song for Guitar Hero III News

PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

23 May, 2008

Xbox 360 owners and PS3 owners have always been best of friends, as everyone knows, but there were some puffy eyes and grumpy faces around the Guitar Hero III dinner table last November when 360 players bagged themselves a free Halo 3 theme tune download. Six months later, Sony is fighting back with its own bespoke download: a song called "The End Begins (to Rock)" from God of War II.

The Guitar Hero community website reveals that the track will be free to download and is due out on 5th June.

Sadly the site doesn't specify whether the track will be available in the US and Europe simultaneously or if Eurogamers will have to wait a bit, and neither Sony nor Activision could help us with our inquiries on the subject today. However, we are expecting to find out soon, so watch out for an update later on. (Update, 4.18pm: As promised, we've discovered that the song will indeed be available in Europe on 5th June. Woo.)

In the meantime, the news does raise the not entirely uninteresting question of who would win in a fight: Master Chief or Kratos?

Kratos would kick that Spartans ass, unless it was a fight in space. Do Gods need oxygen?

A more apt question might be, "a song called "The End Begins (to Rock)" from God of War II", what?

I can't even play God of War 2 on my PS3, what's the point in teasing me like this?

That God of War song sounds awful for guitar hero (awesome in GoW but not for a rock rhythm game), it's like saying the 360 gets the Star Wars theme and the PS3 gets the theme from Space 1999.

Don't remember any rock-themed songs in God of War II!

Kind of clutching at straws there for a Sony-centric rock anthem, methinks.

I kind of agree with the above statements - although the soundtrack in GoWII was awesome it's not entirely suited to a guitar rock game, and nowhere near as classic as Marty O'Donnell's Halo theme.

Although Kratos would kick the living shit out of Chiefy in a fight. Kratos does have a distinct advantage in that he just refuses to die, resiliant bastard.

Guitar hero II and III were the reason I bought an xbox. I've just been playing Rock Band, Guitar Hero can give away as many free songs as they like and still I won't be leaving my new love.

*runs off to fiddle with the band logo some more*

edit: err, so this is for ps3. Anyway, my comment still stands.

Ryu would kick Kratos' ass before Master Chief even had the chance to move.

Did they not just think of using the MGS Skateboard music from that Konami skate game released around the time of MGS2?

MGS is a Sony exclusive(ish) not a Sony product. Sony own the rights to GoWII and don't have to get involved with ownership rights, etc to have it as an exclusive track.
