If you've ever played a God of war game before then you'll know what to expect and amazingly nothing has been removed to fit it onto PSP it's the best game the PSP has to offer (so far). It still has Plenty of enemies on screen, huge tough bosses, lots of weapons to use, great graphics and not a bad sized story.
The only problems with it are that some rooms can be so huge that when the camera zooms out you can have trouble seeing kratos and it is very tough near the end.
 Brutal, Shocking, Gorgeous December 5, 2009

God of War (GoW) is one of those games you didn't know you needed until you'd bought it. GoW is a gloriously violent action game reminiscent of the Devil May Cry series, even down to the collectible orbs and the pink 'ghost' walls that block your passage. The lead character, Kratos, an unrelenting anti-hero, is doomed to serve the Gods until Zeus and his cronies see fit to release him from bondage, which as fans of the series will know, is not for a long time.
This is easily the best adventure game on the PSP. There are only about seven levels, ranging from the fields of Elysium to the barren Underworld, but each one is populated with hordes of monsters, all beautifully rendered. There aren't many new beasts (many come from previous installments) but if you're a newcomer to the series, you've got nothing to worry about.
GoW is much shorter than say, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, but its brevity is offset by the difficulty level. Even on normal, monsters can cause you grief, and you may find yourself replaying sections frequently. I managed to get about 4 days out of the main storyline, but there's an added God Mode (very hard difficulty) and a string of devious challenges to complete. Kratos's second costume is worth a giggle too.
The game is very cinematic - cutscenes and "ruthless kills" often require button presses to complete. These can be fun or very tedious, due to the nature of the PSP's analog stick. But the vast majority of button events can be ignored - there's more than one way to decapitate a harpy.
GoW has an 18 certificate for strong bloody violence - please heed it! The level of violence is innitially a little shocking, but the more you play, the more bloodthirsty you'll become! Highly recommended.

This is a great looking game, some of the best graphics seen on the PSP and a decent story line. I never played the Ps2 versions so didn't quite know what to expect, turns out it's just a simple hack 'n slash 'Golden Axe' type game with fancier graphics and some very simple puzzles thrown in to try and dilute the relentless button bashing. I completed this on the normal setting in about 6 hours, quite short but long enough as the game does start to get repetitive. On the more difficult settings you can't quite get by on just button bashing so there is plently of reply value to try and perfect your fighting skills. There are some mini games/challenges available once you have completed the main game although I haven't fully tried these out yet. By many this is seen as one of the best if not THE best PSP game available, although I completely and utterly enjoyed it at the end of the day it is nothing more than a button basher. If you like your platform games with a little more variety I'd recommend Daxter or if you're looking for a good action game I'd recommend Killzone Liberation over God of War.
Kratos will have his Revenge November 16, 2009

With God of War 3 on the horizon I thought this would be the ideal time to review the PSP game Chains of Olympus. Set before the first God of War, this outing sees Kratos go on a quest to release Helios from the depths of Tartarus. However before doing so he has to massacre an entire Persian army at the Greek city of Atticha. So from the Temple of Helios, to the summit of Mount Olympus and beyond we see Kratos fighting his way to try to rid himself of the nightmares of his past. This may be very well, you think talking about the setting, but what about the gameplay. Well all the moves are the same as the PS2 games, so you don't have to learn new button combinations. There are new magic attacks, as well as creatures to slay including Banshee's and Saber-tooth tiger's. However the game is easier than the others and the story is short with around 8 to 10 hours play. There are mini games and artwork and deleted scenes to unlock. However if you don't own a PSP you aren't missing out on anything, as all the God Of War games play the same, a must for die hard fans only.
Good game November 2, 2009
