| Feature | Highly Compressed ISO | Full PS2 ISO | God of War 2 PC (PS3 Remaster) | |--------|------------------------|----------------|--------------------------------| | File Size | 500 MB – 1.5 GB (archived) | 3.8 GB | 7 GB (via RPCS3) | | Graphics | Native PS2 / upscaled via emulation | Same | 1080p, 60 FPS, better textures | | Setup Difficulty | Moderate (extract + emulate) | Same | Moderate (PS3 emulator) | | PC Requirements | Low to medium | Same | Higher (PS3 emulation demanding) | | Stability | Good on PCSX2 | Same | Decent but occasional bugs |

If you want to save space without risking malware or broken games, consider:

None of these get you to a "900 MB final game" because that is mathematically impossible without removing gameplay.

For a PlayStation 2 game, God of War 2 looks astonishing. Dynamic lighting, massive draw distances, and smooth animations were achieved through clever programming. On a modern PC with upscaled resolution via emulation, it can look almost like an early PS3 title.
