Can you play God of War in your browser?
Partly. Play! gets God of War into gameplay, but the tracker lists major bugs that prevent playing it through. Use our browser emulator. Keep in mind that the tracker covers Play! on every platform, and its browser version is described by the project as an experiment, so results in a browser can be worse than on a desktop.

- If you have a choice of versions, the NTSC-U release (SCUS-97399) has the best reported result.
