Hear, hear. I was personally kind of horrified at God of War 2 even. It was basically the exact same design, a flaming horse, and a much dumber plot. The thing that made God of War 1 so epic was the fun game and the story balancing each other out perfectly. Kratos’ hellish quest for damnation was impressive because the much-loved rage that couldn’t be quenched, in the end, was uncurable because it was himself that he hated.

The last boss where you have to fight the copies of yourself and protect your wife & kids was one of the best moments in gaming. The sequel? I don’t even really remember what happens in it.
