God of War: Chains of Olympus Review - Portable

By Aaron Thomas (cnet.com.au)

god of war: chains of olympus review: Although it feels a bit like God of War: Lite, Chains of Olympus delivers a great, combat-heavy adventure with excellent production values.

Outstanding technical and artistic visuals, Combat is intense and gory, Soundtrack fits the game perfectly

Very, very little in the way of new gameplay elements, Can easily be beaten in less than seven hours, Could have used more puzzles, platforming segments and bosses

Although it feels a bit like God of War: Lite, Chains of Olympus delivers a great, combat-heavy adventure with excellent production values.

Chains of Olympus is one of the best-looking games on the PSP. (Credit...

God of War: Chains of Olympus Review

By Eric Blattberg (psu.com)

Kratos is one rad dude. When not slaying the Gods of Olympus or beasts of epic proportions, the Ghost of Sparta spends his free time stomping the Blades of Chaos directly into some unfortunate Cyclops' eye. Such activities are proudly flaunted in ...

Best presentation ever seen on the system ; Perfect pacing ; Near-flawless transition of gameplay elements from console to handheld

Six to seven hour length on default difficulty setting ; Analog nub during quicktime events ; No Blades of Chaos swinging sections

Ready at Dawn did an extraordinary job taking the existing God of War IP and creating a brilliant title on the PSP. In short, God of War: Chains of Olympus is the definition of a AAA game.

These chains are a little short for comfort, but otherwise this is the single best game on the PSP and one of the finest experiences on any handheld. Magnificent.

By Abe Arceo (reviewstream.com)

God of War Chains of Olympus was the first game that I played on my new PSP 3000. Everyone had recommended this game and I can definitely see why. First off, the characters and story were pretty good. Fans of Greek Mythology
