What is the best game for PSP? God of War Chains of Olympus

A Great Achievement for the PSP

This is the best game for PSP right now (I think Crisis Core will be better) I just finished the game (credits are still rolling) and I must say, while it is a great game, and God of War for a handheld is nothing short of a miracle (considering what garbage the PSP has had in its day) I just felt like it was missing a lot from the first 2 parts for the ps2.

The first thing that disappointed me were the bosses. I'm not going to spoil anything here, but to me the bosses didnt seem as vast or as well planned out for this version compared to the PS2 versions. The biggest disappoint for me was the fact that I beat the game in 7 hours. It took me a while to beat God of War 1 when I first played through it, and I guess I was expecting the same for Chains of Olympus. There isnt much swimming or underwater puzzles/exploration, so I was kinda disappointed in that as well as the controls being a bit tricky at points, but those are minute in the big picture.


I felt like getting the negativity out of the way. I do know why the game is only 7 hours long. It looks pretty darn similar to the GoW for PS2. The camera, at times, is a pain, but when the camera zooms in/out when youre walking down the bridge or walking against the wall to get through a tight space, it totally reminds you of the first 2 GoW's and you marvel in the glory of this game. With the whole control scheme of PS2 basically using all of the buttons, I would like to commend Ready at Dawn for their choice of controls in this game. Nothing like I would have expected. Some of the puzzles in the game definitely make you think outside of the box, and may frustrate folks who have not played the series before, but pretty moderate for GoW vets.


This game goes above and beyond what I thought the PSP was capable of. The game is beautiful, the sound is beautiful, and the load times are almost non existent. I would HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone who has a PSP as it is the best game out there for it at the moment. I know I'm going to catch some slack for it, but I gave it 4 stars ( really I would have liked to give 4.5 but you cant do it on amazon)because it was really short and for 40 dollars I can purchase one of many games that are 40-60 hours. Now I need to wait for GoW 3 and I hope they blow the first 2 out of the water with that one.
