Customer Reviews

The best PSP title available
This game is a truly wonderful game. It captures the great gameplay and experience of its console counterparts well. It is on the short side of around 6-7 hours but for a handheld thats to be expected. If you love God of War or action games, this is a must purchase.

God of War Chains of Olympus
This game is so much fun. I wish they made all the other parts of this game for psp I would definately order them cause it so much fun to play.

God o' War
I like the God of War series. I really do. It's fun playing as an angry gray greek killing and dismembering any and all who stand in my way. Bedding at least two beauties near the beginning of each adventure with rythm game precision. Smiting some god of something or other by the end of the game. Battling bosses ten times my size and winning, while looking totally awesome. Sure, Kratos has the acting chops of a tin can, what with his wide range of emotions including: angry, smoldering, raging, and smoldering with rage... But we're not here to talk of Kratos's skills as a thespian, we're here to discuss his battle worthiness.
I was very happy when i had heard it was coming to the small system, but i was still worried. The PSP has fewer buttons than a PS2... which usually spells trouble for games ported from a bigger brother of a system. But then i heard it was being made by the same team that did Daxter, which is the best platformer on the PSP, so i had hope. And my trust was not misplaced.
The game controls excelently. Kratos still has many of the signature combos from his PS2 incarnation, so falling back into the groove of things was not all that difficult. And, by the end of the game, i actually preferred this control scheme to the PS2. My biggest gripewith God of War was the right analog dodge. I could never send Kratos bounding in the direction i wanted to, but i have no problem w/ the PSP. Sure, the shoulder buttons get a lot of your attention, but i liked being able to cast a magic attack with the press of a shoulder and face button.
Story wise, the game's okay. Kratos' biggest reveals have already been done on the bigger systems, but i do like how the game foreshadows a few things that you will come across in a later game.
The action has that special God of War flavor and the enemies you face all offer a challenge in their own way. Sure, not as many enemies appear at the same time on screen, but it's okay when the game plays and looks like this. And, unlike the first two games, this one introduces a secondary weapon that's actually effective and fun to use! Imagine that... By the end of the game, you come across a "boss battle" that makes you feel horrible, and you see why Kratos hates serving the Gods, what with all their manipulations and machinations.
Ultimately, if you like the series, then do yourself a favor and get this for your PSP. Many call it God of War lite, but i disagree. This game, while maybe not as challenging as it's console brothers, is great and thrilling ride from start to end.

god of ... well not war
This game was good but not great. The attacks are smooth and easy, but the cutscenes are a bit well off. Overall the game does not live up to the GOD OF WAR franchise. If your a big god of war fan then get it, but if not well don't bother.

OK game
The game is just OK according to the review and experience playing with. That is what young children report as a feedback having it for a month.
