    God of War: Chains of Olympus is an excellent response from the original trilogy. At one time, I did not get acquainted with the game on PSP. Reprinting on the PS3 does not look bad, it is worth canceling the tightened graphics and lighting. Played at the God of War HD level. For fans of the series, I advise everyone, especially since the game takes place in 5-6 hours. I even liked herGod of War: Chains of Olympus is an excellent response from the original trilogy.

    Despite technical limitations, this game feels true to the series and is a worthy addition. It is very short, but has a nice pace, the story is interesting, the combat is challenging, and there is some decent bonus content.

    This game is a nice prequel ,the graphics are similar to the first God of war, is not bad, but could be better. The history explains various things we saw in future games, which I quite liked.
