    Chains of Olympus is undoubtedly an important chapter in the God of War saga that should not be missed. Yes, it's a lower game in productionChains of Olympus is undoubtedly an important chapter in the God of War saga that should not be missed. Yes, it's a lower game in production value, lasts a third of what lasted the first game of PS2, graphically you see something "light" (almost a little better to the first title but less than the second) but to be PSP originally it looks pretty good (the remastered version of PS3 runs and looks much better). Without doubt the weakest point is its history; contributes to the mythology within the saga but doesn't have much weight as the previous and lacks epic moments that characterize the franchise (except for a couple at the beginning and end of the campaign). The action, the gameplay and the control are still functional and very funny, a couple of polished mechanics, with several extras that add good replay value, the challenge seemed little but worth it.

This game was better than i expected and that's great. If you like God of war you must play this game. But if you are not fun of the series i think its easy to be bored. But the story is short and you will enjoy it. Expand
