Product Description
In God of War, Kratos, after being deceived into killing his wife and daughter, denounced his service to Ares. In order to seek absolution from his past sins, the Ghost of Sparta pledged himself as a champion to the Gods for the years to follow. These brutal crusades, in the name of Olympus, became legendary throughout the ancient world. In God of War: Chains of Olympus, Kratos will journey to lands that no mortal has ever walked upon. With the world plunged in eternal darkness and the Gods rendered powerless, Kratos will face the most feared creatures of Greek Mythology, and ultimately be forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from certain destruction. Developed from the outset as an original story, God of War: Chains of Olympus delivers highly detailed graphics, incredible animation detail and yet another adventure in the dark and brutal world of Greek mythology that fans of the God of War franchise have come to know and love.

An amazing adventure for the psp
Before I start I must say that I am a beloved God of War fan and this was the last game that I needed for my collection. Having just Purchased after completing god of war 3 (which is a masterpiece) I was a bit disappointed at the game. I had to keep think to myself this was released before number 3 and upon doing that it was quite good. The game is set before the god of war 1 and is not essential to the trilogy. It uses the same finger mash button lay out at the first two games. There is a reference to the in the god of war 3 before you kill Helios. But I loved as I did the other games and this is a must for any god of war fans.

Great Game...
This game proves the great graphical ability of PSP Console. It has a fascinating story. Especially God of War fans from PS2 should get this game, in order to understand Kratos's past story.

The God of War Returns!
To be honest I have been a bit disappointed with games on the PSP. I've tried several and found the controls cumbersome and clumsy. I actually recently purchased my PSP more for its multi-media functions and Wi-Fi Capabilities. I have been a huge GoW fan since the 1st game on PS2 and was very skeptical about playing it on the PSP; I however I could not resist the call of Kratos. Sony did not disappoint. Playing Chains of Olympus on the PSP so much like playing GoW on the PS2, I fear for my "O" button. The graphics are simply amazing for the PSP. I find the only noticeable difference is the smaller screen. The environments are just as rich and the action just as intense. I have fought about 2 bosses so far and look forward to losing many hours delivering the message of the gods with wraith of my blades.
