Kratos? Story
The God of War franchise tells the tragic and violent story of the warrior Kratos and his dealings with the gods. The ancient world would eventually both praise and damn the infamous ?Ghost of Sparta? as the mortal who slayed a god, but long before his battle with Ares, Kratos sought absolution from his past sins by pledging himself as a champion to the gods. These brutal crusades in the name of Olympus became legendary, but would have far-reaching consequences. In Chains of Olympus Kratos is pushed to the edge as he is ordered by the gods to journey to the very depths of the underworld after the world plunges into darkness. There he must face the most feared creatures of Greek mythology and is forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from certain destruction. It is a choice that will shake the immortals from their perches on Mt. Olympus.God of War's Epic Gameplay Comes to the PSP
PlayStation Portable has always been head and shoulders above its competitors in the handheld market when it comes to processing power, and in God of War: Chains of Olympus the PSP platform may just have reached its highest level to date. Packed with features like dramatic camera angles, epic set pieces, cinematic cut scenes, stirring audio and seamless fast action gameplay, formerly only available on console platforms Chains of Olympus binds players to the game?s epic adventure, regardless where they are when they join in the action.Combat Moves, Both Old and New
Nearly as defining as the name of Kratos itself, the trademark sweeping attack moves of the ?Ghost of Sparta? using his weapon of choice the ?Blades of Chaos,? epitomizes all God of War games and Chains of Olympus is no exception.Although overall the PSP has fewer buttons than the PlayStation 2 controller, developer Ready at Dawn Studios has managed to incorporate nearly all of the attack moves and combination moves from previous games in the series into this new project. This continuity in gameplay not only provides a seamless intro into the game for veteran players, but a gentle learning curve for players new to the series. Add to this new brutal combat moves and an additional upgradable weapon and you have a combat system that will engage players at all levels.Exploration and Puzzle Solving
From the bright gates of Attica to the darkest dungeons of Tartarus, Kratos? journey and your own will take you through the dark and brutal world of Greek mythology. Here not only will your skill with the Blades of Chaos be tested, but your wits as well.As you explore the dangers of the ancient world, players must be prepared to use their navigational skills as they press on through labyrinths of challenging puzzles. Some may be simple tests at manipulating the game?s environment to your advantage, while others much more difficult also requiring precision timing of moves, but each will be different and test you in new ways.An Evolution in Franchise History
More than just a missing piece in the history of the God of War franchise, Chains of Olympus also serves as an evolutionary link between the origins of the God of War franchise and its future. Originally developed for PlayStation 2, the future of the franchise is slated to make its arrival on PlayStation 3 in the form of the highly anticipated God of War III in the not too distant future. Not only is PlayStation Portable designed to work in unison with PlayStation 3 in many ways, but both long-time fans and newcomers to the series who choose to watch and play Chains of Olympus carefully may very well pick up clues as to the direction the franchise will be heading in with God of War III.Regardless, whether you find yourself playing for the current chapter in Kratos? saga or preparing yourself for the battles to come on the PlayStation 3, God of War: Chains of Olympus is a must have title for any current owner of a PSP or those considering getting in the handheld game with one.

God of War Chains of Olympus Reviews
Ready at Dawn studios has made some great games for the PSP, but this one takes the cake. In addition to visually impressive pre-rendered cutscenes, this game boasts some of the best graphics I've seen on the PSP so far. I did, and as you can see from all these other reviews, they did too. The game even has some puzzles for you to solve, in addition to intense button-mashing sequences which just might wear down your PSP buttons. Final Verdict - Five Stars. Gameplay - Five Stars.
And all three times, it was worth every minute. Story - Five Stars. This story will unless you hate fighting gods, or taking down a Titan, then you'll love it. You don't honestly expect online play for a game like this, do you.
When you kill enemies, you get red orbs which can be used to upgrade your magic, and learn new moves. Summary: God of War: Chains of Olympus has you playing as Kratos, one of the beastliest men ever to walk on the face of the earth. There are just so many ways to take down your opponents. Yes, what everyone says is true, it's short. This has got to be on of the most fun games I've every played on the PSP. But don't think that it's a walk in the park; some Boss Fights are extremely challenging and parts of the game can be frustrating. But as before mentioned, quality gameplay over quantity.
The gameplay is insane, with moves that defy gravity and powerful magical spells. If I could use one word to describe it, it would be: Epic.
Take down a Basilisk, punish a God, subdue a Titan and more in this epic journey set in ancient Greece.
The story is short, but hey- quality over quantity. This game keeps you on your toes.
Online Play - Nonexistent. Let me tell you, I beat this game three times.
The game also gives you fun puzzles to solve, which involve a bit of thinking, but nothing frustrating. I won't reveal the storyline, but remember: epic.
The game is not very long and there are times that one returns(changes) repetitively, but of rest it is God of War, insuperable, alone for fanatics.
Short game, but very entertaining, I don't play a lot of video games (PSP is beginning to change that.)., but this one really drew me in. A must have for PSP. It has a decent storyline and genuinely good gameplay.
GRAPHICS: A-. THERE ARE ABOUT 3/4 WEAPONS IN THIS GAME AND LIKE1/2 TYPES OF DEFENSIVE OPTIONS. let me just say to start this, before i got this game i,ve never played a god of war game, so my friend recommended it. from the second i played it, i couldnt put it down until i beat it on all difficulties. CUSTOMIZATION B+. MANY UPGRADES FOR A FEW WEAPONS. so i went and ordered it. SOUND: A+.
YOU SHOULD DEFINATLY GIVE IT A TRY BECAUSE ITS A GREAT SERIES(I LATER BOUGHT GOW 1 AND 2 AND LOVED THEM GAMEPLAY: A. DESPITE BEING FUN AND ADDICTING THIS GAME IS VERY SHORT, COULD BEAT IN ABOUT 3 HOURS TOPS. VERY FUN VERY CLEAN AND GREAT ACTION AND WEAPONS A PERFECT GAME FOR A FAN OF 300 OR GREKKO ROMAN TIES FANS. let e evaluate this. THERE WAS LITTLE STORY THROUGHOUT THE BEGINNING AND MIDDLE BUT ABOUT 3/5 OF THE STORY WAS REVEALED IN THE ENDING/CONCLUSION.
LENGTH:C. SPECTACULAR SOUND GREAT FIGHT/KILL NOISES FOR AN ACTION PSP GAME. because the graphics were great but it lagged a bit. STORYLINE:B.
No vas a entrañar en lo más mínimo las monedas que gastaste en él; lo único malo del titulo (y perdonen los Fans) es que me pareció corto, SE LOS JURO., lo demás simplemente cabe en esta expresión: ES EL MEJOR JUEGO PARA PSP QUE ESTE EN EL MERCADO HASTA AHORA. Si ves esto sabrás que de este juego ya lo sabes casi todo, así que un consejo: COMPRALO. no tienes God Of War para PSP. Eso es tener un lamborigini sin ruedas compadre. no sigas leyendo y consiguelo ya. El titulo se convirtió en Clásico (y obligado para PSP gamers) a penas salio a la venta; es como tener XboX sin Gear of War o un PS3 sin un titulo de Call Of Duty. ¿Qué.
