Awesome!

easily the best game on psp so far! I actually never played God of War before this, but now I will have to go back and buy a PS2 (traded mine in) and get the god of war titles! This game is wicked!

best game for the psp hands down

the psp needed a boost in games to surpass the ds. Luckily gow did that. It is everything you would want in an action/adventure game, although it wasnt perfect. The pros were- probably the best looking psp game of all times setting a new standared of graphics for the psp, exciting combat, and an overall great feel.. the cons were - a little bit of a weak story line (not near as exciting as the previous games), the combat was a little repetitive(although still exciting), lack of puzzles (which really upset me for this was my favorite part of the gow games)and it was a fairly short game... Overall i still think is was a great game. Everything i said bad about it was only in comparison to the other gow games (which is still really good because im comparing it to games with such high standards) but nontheless it is a great game, especially for a handheld

god of war is a WINNER

when god of war chains of olympus hit the shelves,i was pretty curious how it would work with only one analog stick,but i was not dissapointed.Even though ready at dawn had to remake kratos for the whole psp experience i would have to say the graphics are great for a psp game.as of the games fun factor,i thought it was extremely fun and has a great continuation of the story.this game is definatly the "God"of p.s.p games so far and i would recomend any one,5 year old to 90 year old senior citizen to but it!

Got nothing done for 2 days

Well this is only the second game that I have bought for the PSP being that I just got it last week and well what can I say. Like the title says "Got nothing done for 2 days". I had just beaten Ratchet & Clank : Size Matters and started to play GOW and couldn't put it down. Except for the 2 times my battery died and at that point I just put it down and let it charge. WhenI fell alseep. The graphics and game play are amazing. Such great quality for the PSP and a great game for all to get. As long as you are 18 or know someone that will get it for you. Love that first mini-game. I think all of you know which one I'm talking about. ;-) The only problem I had was that there was a pause in the game or cut scence when it was loading.

(Awesome) HOWEVER!!!!!!

IT IS THE SHORTEST GAME THAT I OWN . IT IS MY FAVORITE GAME BUT WAY TOOO SHORT. I DO NOT THINK 45USD IS THE WAY TO GO .AND AT TIMES I DID NOT FEEL CHALLENGED ENOUGH. ALTHOUGH I LIKE THAT SOMEWHAT BUT THE GAME STILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT LONGER. SHAME ON THEM ................

This game is the definition of "Badass"

This is the best game on any portable system, ever. It really does feel like a console game. If you like action games then you have to give this game a try. Kratos is a mini-god.

Must own for the PSP

Enough said. If you like GOW then you will be surprised how they scaled it down without losing that GOW feelings. The story is in line with the series and very enjoyable. The graphics are great, controls intuitive and this is a must own for any PSP owners. I was excited to blow dust off the PSP and truck through this game in short order.

A Must Buy For PSP Owners

If you have played any of the previous God of War games and have a PSP then your going to love God of War Chains of Olympus. This has the best graphics I've seen on the PSP.The sound is amazing as usually and the controls take a little getting use to but work pretty good considering you don't have two analog sticks. The game is supper fun but it is a little bit on the short side but it's a great game none the less.
