The PSP may have it's graphical limit, but somehow, God of War: Chains of Olympus has exceeded that limit. Gameplay is awesome, controls are marvelous, and the soundtrack is unbelievably beautiful. This is a must-have game for all PSP owners! EXCLUSIVELY ON PSP!!!

When this game first came out for p.s.p. there was some doubt but this game proved to be awesome. It is so violent and that makes it that much more fun. I love beating the crap out of bosses and soldier dudes. It is so fun. Really want #3.
A great addition to an already legendary series.

There a 4 reasons you should run to the store and get a copy of Chains of Olympus; (1) You got Kratos(Mobile) in your pocket, (2) Its developed by the team behind Daxter, (3) Your PSP is running at full power,(4) I finished the game and it's EPIC.
The game starts at the shore where Kratos with his Blades Of Athena kills a couple of soldiers.
For those who played God Of War 1/2 on PS2; The controls are, except for avoiding the enemy, exactly the same.
The background of the first level becomes part of the gameplay when ship fire at Kratos. A few moments later Kratos wins his first( Persian ) bossfight with a cinematic end.
So, you don't hear me complaining about the gameplay.
It's amazing what Ready At Dawn gets out of a PsP. The graphics are just amazing. I think, you can disagree, the graphics are more beautiful then God Of War 1/2.
So, my conclusion; get God Of War Chains Of Olympus, it's the best PSP game!

I've always been interested in ancient Greece. The people, the myths, the creatures, and the bloodshed. So it's only natural that I took a liking to the Playstation 2 heavy hitters: God of War, and God of War 2. When a PSP counterpart was announced to be a prequel of the series, I was a bit skeptic on it's ability to deliver the action-packed hack and slash that the console brethren always brought to me. I mean, the subtraction of an analog stick, and a limited amount of disc space were primary concerns of both the fans of the games, and the developers themselves as well. However, Ready at Dawn studios proved that they know what they're doing, and brought a God of War experience to the portable system with seamless transition. The graphics of the game look like that of a PS2 game, so this proved that with the right technical prowess, the hand held is capable of some pretty high tech stuff. The combat is as good as it ever was, with some minor tweaks here and there that have the potential of being permanent gameplay mechanics; the game hits hard, with diverse environments, new enemies, and moves that are both familiar to season vets, and never before seen at the same time. This is a console to portable transition DONE RIGHT. Though it isn't as long as one may hope it to be, Ready at Dawn has outdone themselves, and deserve some major props for their efforts.
Please make more games like this!

This is the PERFECT PSP game.
the controls are tight, the graphics are amazing and push the hardware to it's limit, and the story is just as compelling as the PS2 games are.
It's one of the few reasons to own this system and it makes you wonder why there aren't more games that play this well on the system.
Bottom line is if you own a PSP you should really own God of War.
The best PSP game bar none

This is actually one of the better God of War games, and it's on the PSP! The visuals, combat, and storytelling are all sensational, and even the PSP's limited controls are able to recreate the intensity of the PS2 versions. Until God of War III hits the PS3, this is your best bet for gory hack-and-slash action!

God of War Chains of Olympus is one of my favorite games. The only thing was that I hated the fact that on easy which is where I always start, it took 5 hours to complete the entire game. Weapons AWSOME spells AWSOME upgrade difficulty so-so.
