    OK, so it isn't an amazing port, the gaming sites have criticized the resolution and a lack of fluidity.. well, I re-installed this to my PS3 and there is some slight difference and no it isnt as clear as it ought to be. But who care! five mins of playing and all that counts for nowt - its GoW I&II on your Vita people - its awesome!

    Considering that this collection was never intended to be a HD counterpart of Ps3 GoW HD collection, it's pretty much satisfying to have two original games on your hands wherever you go. The only thing that really dissapointed me was cutscenes. How can you be so lazy to not change their resolutions to fit vita's screen?

    I'm an avid GoW fan, so I picked this up for my collection. Priced relatively good as this is essentially a port rather than a new game altogether. Nice gameplay, though I'm not much of a fan of tapping the back panel which was introduced in this port.

    Can't Believe it PSVita can bring GOW 1 & 2 in one Cardtridge PSVita...so Coolll. Graphics is look awesome but the cutscene / cinematics not fullscreen or not fit in to screen...too bad. Sound and music is look great, and more mini games & puzzle is can make frustation, but anyway this games is look amazing and more challenge.

    Like the Metal Gear Solid Vita release, it transfers great to the portable system and the series has proven it can kick major ass on a portable. Sadly the portable games were not included which weakens the package. Granted they can be downloaded to Vita, but for $30 bucks, it should have at least been packaged with download codes for these PSP classics.

    God of War has issues in it's frame rate and control as the game runs and plays exactly like the PS2 version without any updates. However, this is good G.O.W game on the go, if you put aside it's issues as it's story is fantastic and enjoyable to play. Get it if you never played a G.O.W game.

    There is no need to qualify the need for this collection ... it's God of War. It's Kratos. What else do you need to know? The graphics look great. The gameplay is great.

The sales of this collection are going to be fantastic. Two great games for $30 (and you know that price will drop after all the groupies like us have bought it). What's missing is a new God of War game for PS Vita. Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta travel well on the Vita, and look great ... but why go to the trouble to add a second analog stick and rear touch screen if you aren't going to create the one game every Vita owner wants?

    Where's a new God of War?

    I would buy this collection no matter how many times I've played it on PS2/PS3, because it's awesome. Being able to take it on the go? Even more awesome. Honestly, these games feel like they were made for the Vita. The hope of every Vita owner who loves GOW is that, at some point, Sony will realize that this is what we're waiting for and will commission a new Kratos game.

    Come on Sony! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease ...

    This collection is good. I would have rated it a 10 if it were the saga (all three PS games and both PSP games). That would have been a tidal wave of awesome. But, for now, it's just a 9, because they were a little shortsighted in what could have been accomplished here.

    If you love the GOW games, get it. At $30, it's worth it.    … Expand

    First part of this collection is great action game, but in comparison to second part, it is just a prelude to truly epic masterpiece that God of War II is.

    Great port on vita. The game looks pretty good and plays smoothly for me. I compared it to the ps3 version on remote play and liked the look slightly better on the actual vita version. The only reason it's getting a 9 is the graphics could have been just slightly better, and this game could have included the psp versions as well. I would have gladly paid more for a heftier collection.Great port on vita. The game looks pretty good and plays smoothly for me.

    I will not make a big review, this game is amazing and has about 2 scenes with frame drops in god of war 2. All the game is playable and the touch controls don't really feel forced.

    Still it's not a perfect port, many things are dumbed down (MGS is the pinnacle of ports!).

    very good port the touchscreen is a little annoying to open chests and doors at first but i quickly got use to it and it looks fantastic but some of the cut scenes look like they were taken right out of the ps2 version most likely to save space

    Второй Gow - Думал, что сюжет и история будут так же самостоятельны как в первой части, но после успеха предшественника разрабы поняли, что нужно ковать франшизу и вторая глава истории Кратоса является большой завязкой перед третьей частью.

    Особенности порта на PS Vita:
    Особо ничего упоминать не приходиться, можно конечно сказать, что порт можно было сделать куда качественней, те же видеоролики, которые перенесли в слабом разрешении, но это всё придирки.
    Есть только один критический недостаток, но этот недостаток присущ многим PS Vita играм из AAA-класса, да, это оптимизация и решается банальным разгоном консоли.

    Если негде поиграть в первые две части Бога Войны или просто не застали в своё время, то можете смело играть на портативной консоли, как сделал и я. Единственный недостаток портатива в том, что он куда хуже передаёт масштаб и гигантизм чем большой экран, но это всё субъективщина и не критично.

    God of War’s first two entries should absolutely not be missed now that they’ve been remade—just choose your edition wisely if you crave the grandeur of an actual HD remake.

    A rough port of a pair of great games that makes them show their age.

    At its worst a little choppier than you may remember, at its best downright timeless. The port's not perfect, but this is still a great way to play two of PS2's best games on the move.
