In God of War: Chains of Olympus, Kratos will journey to lands that no mortal has ever walked upon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly outstanding handheld achievement, 16 Mar 2008
By John Clayton III (Greystoke) - See all my reviews
  
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I must say this is a spectacular game, and while not the best God of War title to date, it is a title without equal in it's genre on handheld systems.

Playing in familiar GoW fashion, with one or two annoying if necessary control scheme changes(Holding L+R and pressing X to dodge is not a pleasant addition I can tell you) and looking absolutely incredible for something on a handheld, Chains of Olympus brings us a prequel tale of Kratos in the time just before GoW1, where he travels to the world of dreams and eventually the underworld to confront Morpheus(The god of dreams, not Laurence Fishburne) and save the gods themselves, if he's prepared for the price he'll have to pay to do so...

From the off, it's the usual hacking and slashing and gore filled joy you'll know to expect from a GoW game, with no bodypart severing, nudity or swearing held back. It really is an absolute joy to play with only a couple of real quibbles.

First, it's short. I finished it in just over five hours. Around half the length of GoW2 if I remember right, though saying that, there is a decent amount of replay incentive here, but still, half the length of the last game... slightly disappointing.

Secondly, the aforementioned control scheme issues. For the most part it plays great, but some of the 'quick time' button press sequences are quite difficult, and dodging attacks is just annoying to the point where I just didn't bother with it. It isn't as easy to get to grips with as the last two games.

Beyond this though, everything else is perfect. This game is the best game of 2008 yet in my opinion and an absolute bargain at less than 20 quid.

Buy it now, you won't be sorry you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!, 8 Mar 2008
By Luke Baker (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Well what can I say, this game is amazing and is a worthy member of the God of War franchise. When I first started playing I was a bit worried that the lack of an extra analogue stick would make the controls awkward but after five minuted of playing I was cutting people up and rolling around like a pro. The gameplay is very similar if not identical to the ps2 version so anyone who has played god of war before will have no problem getting into this one. The Graphics push the psp to the limit and are nearly on par with the ps2 version. I dont really have anything bad to say about this game the only thing I could say is that it doesnt really bring anything new to the series but that really isnt a bad thing as if something isnt broke theres no point in fixing it. I would say this is the best game to date on the PSP and is a must own game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tomb Raider + Tekken + Greek Mythology =, 10 April 2008
By S. J. Wilde "Billy The Fish" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Pretty much a reason to buy the PSP in it's own right.
A superbly-crafted, story-driven mix of puzzles and gory beat-em-up designed for the over eighteen crowd.
The non-fighting parts feel very 'Lara' - lots of opening stuff and collecting things - albeit with a big bald fella instead of a pneumatic brunette. The fighting side of things isn't just button-mashing either. The more enemies you defeat, the more 'orbs' you collect, which can then be traded up for more effective combos and moves.
Then there's the story, which is an excellent spin on Greek mythology, with a genuine plot that you'll want to follow.
Some may bemoan the static camera, but that never harmed the enjoyment of the early Resident Evil games, did it? Besides, the camera here is way superior - you don't actually feel like trying to go where you can't because the visuals are so rich and the level design so accomplished that you are naturally drawn to where you need to be.
Buy this now! And when you do, play it through a decent set of earphones to really appreciate the excellent sound, score and narration.
I'd long since abandoned my PS2 in favour of PC gaming, but after this little gem, I will be buying God Of War and God of War II and going back to the old DualShock joypad!
For the price of a pizza and a bottle of wine, this is an absolute steal!
