I would argue that Gun was the better and more polished game over Red Dead Revolver, plus the voice casting was impeccable. Some of the voice acting in Revolver still haunt me today.

God of war 2 was the ps2s final bang in 2007 it pushed the ps2 to the limit even able to compete with next gen games at the time with a cliffhanger that left fans impatient for god of war 3 on ps3 In 2010.
