God of war: Chains of Olympus is a prequel to God of war. Chains of Olympus is a great game with lots of action, adventure, and killer finishing moves. God of War has a great story line and has the best graphics I have seen for a PSP. Kratos is even deadlier for the PSP. There are a variety of finishing moves you can do. You can rip off peoples heads, stab them, rip off the harpies wings, shall I go on? Anyway, this game has so much action with a few puzzles thrown in. This game is pretty challenging and easy to play. The only complaint I have is that the game is too short. I beat it in two days. But there are also the challenges that you can do to keep you occupied when you beat it. God of war: Chains of Olympus is a great game that I would recommend to anyone ( just keep the little kids away because its pretty bloody). But I had a lot of fun and I will be writing a review on God of War as soon as I beat it.Read full review
Wow, I don’t know what I was waiting for; I should’ve gotten this game the day it first was released. But back to the review, first of all congrats to the developers for the very good graphics that comes in this small package (Yes I said graphics), they immerse you even deeper in the drama of the game. Then the moves that our little God, “Kratos”, brings to the table and it has to be said pretty good ones as well and when combined with the special abilities it becomes an amazing combo of entertainment and kicking butt action. Thirdly, the story is pretty good as well; as I said before the combination of story, graphics and moves that they put in place really do the job of immersing you and sticking you to play the game for long periods of time (You are warned).None the less, the gameplay controls are easy and the special moves and attacks are easy to master with a bit of practice as usual. Finally, I just wanted to make the comment (Not that anyone has not think about this), for the romantic scenes the developers decided to make them in form of a mini-game (You know click the right button), I would have wanted to see more of the action that it involves, instead that only a candle moving and turning off as a finale…Oh! Yeah this game is rated M for Mature! Altamirano8236.Read full review
God of War: Chains of Olympus is a prequel to the PS2 series. Although it doesn't take the series beyond what's available in the first two titles, it lives up to the reputation you would expect. The action in the game is classic God of War. A mostly isometric, top down view of your character, Kratos, as he slices, maims, and dismembers bad guys with his twin Blades of Chaos. These stubby swords can be used as you would wield traditional swords, or Kratos can use the chains which tether them to his forearms to swing the blades in a variety of deadly attacks. There's a generous number of combos available, and you can upgrade them for even more devastating moves. Along your quest you'll also acquire the Gauntlets of Zeus. An awesome weapon that, due to it's limited range, requires you to get a little more intimate with your foes, however it delivers a powerful punch. Some may be disappointed that this is the only alternate offensive weapon in the game, but at least it is one you'll want to use. On the defence, you will get your hands on the Sun Shield, which can deflect projectile attacks back to where they came from, and offers up some counter-attack moves. There are three magic attacks also available which provides some form of ranged or area attack. My preference was towards Efreet magic, which summoned a demon-like creature to pound the ground and cause fiery earthquakes. Like your weapons, all magic attacks are upgradeable. Even with the upgrades, I did find the other two magic spells somewhat limited, and it served me just as well to use my regular weapons, except when enemies stayed too far out of reach. The camera work is as good as any God of War game, which is saying a lot. The controls are also responsive and easy to handle. The change in how you dodge (as there's no R-Stick on the PSP you need to press both shoulder buttons at the same time you're directing the L-Stick) did take some getting use to. It was the only thing about the controls that felt awkward for me; not that the developers had much other choice in the control scheme. The variety of enemies, and layout of the stages were somewhat predictable. Of course Kratos finds himself battling through Hades as he has in all the other titles. As much as I love the series, even I was thinking "This is getting a little old". I will admit however that the fight out of Hades was one of the more emotional events of the series, considering the situation that was at hand. The boss fights were of course large, and as fun as ever. And as much as I dislike quick time events (where you must press a button when prompted) God of War does manage to make the most out of them. The action overall is addicting, and the puzzle solving elements you'll come across, although not complex, gives just right balance you need alongside the intense excitement. One you've completed the main story line, you'll be delighted to see that there's some bonus challenge missions to take on. And these bonus rounds do make for some heavy challenges, which can cause some of the most frustrating moments to be had with the title. It doesn't add a lot to the series, but following the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rule has paid off. Despite it being a similar experience to it's big brother counterparts, you'll appreciate the option to having a God of War adventure in the palm of your hand. There's no better way to take this kind of action along with you.Read full review
This game was quite the adventure. I enjoyed slashing through enemies as Kratos the Ghost of Sparta. Once played through the entire game, however; it lacks replay value. That is the only thing tainting this from being a five star rated game. If there was more content aside from the main quests, this game would be sure to please time and time again. However you may find some of the unlockable mini games to be interesting; but it's sure to leave you wanting more. Overall however, this was quite an exceptional game. The story draws you in with beautiful cinematic cut scenes as you are propelled into an ancient and mythical world. The controls are easy to learn, and anyone could pick up the game and dive right into the action. You'll be challenged with puzzles and foes to keep you from attaining your goals, some big some small. There are minigames you can play to keep you on your toes during battle. For instance, during a boss battle, you may incapacitate the boss long enough to engage in one of these minigames, it will test your reflex skills with a random display of a button you must quickly press in order to advance to the next minigame scene. If you succeed in winning the minigame, you will essentially finish off your opponent. If you do not succeed however, you will instead be the victim.. Give this game a go. Despite the lack of replay value, there IS enough to keep you entertained for quite sometime. I recommend you buy or rent this game.Read full review
As many who know the tales of the God of War know, Kratos, after being deceived into killing his wife and daughter, denounced his service to Ares. In order to seek absolution from his past sins, the Ghost of Sparta pledged himself as a champion to the Gods for the years to follow – these brutal crusades, in the name of Olympus, became legendary throughout the ancient world.... THIS IS A GREAT GAME!!!! Experience Kratos' journey during the 10 years of servitude to the Gods of Olympus. In God of War: Chains of Olympus, Kratos will venture to lands that no mortal has ever walked upon. With the world plunged in eternal darkness and the Gods rendered powerless, Kratos will ultimately be forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from certain destruction. Developed from the outset as an original story, God of War: Chains of Olympus delivers highly detailed graphics, incredible animation detail and yet another adventure in the dark and brutal world of Greek mythology.Read full review
