    Summary: I liked the game overall, but I have some negative points to mention.

    Negatives:

    1- There are frequent FPS drops, especially when playing on the original PSP.
    2- Sometimes the camera distance during story or cinematic scenes becomes problematic, making it hard to see the character or details.

    Despite these negatives, I've played the game multiple times and always found it beautiful. Ghost of Sparta remains my favorite.

    Positives:

    This game is one of the top three most powerful PSP games I've played.
    The story is connected to other games, but it's easy for newcomers to understand due to good storytelling.
    Overall, it's a well-executed game.

    Thank you for reading. -Yakuzet    … Expand

    Está chévere y con una historia que te entretiene hasta el final y lo que pasa con Caliope te filetea y quieres saber que pasa con nuestro pelón blanco.

    Another quality adventure from the highly consistent franchise. Good looking, inventive and fun although once again, it can be a little unnecessarily difficult in places.

    Como um God of War lançado para o PSP, Chains of Olympus cumpre seu papel extremamente bem, mas carece no âmbito da história - praticamente sem influência nos eventos que seguem a franquia - que deixa a desejar. Porém, aos amantes, uma boa diversão, por mais curta que seja.

    Hace años que jugué el titulo y me pareció un juego de lo mas destacable de la época del psp, con unos jefes muy buenos, y un desarrollo de historia muy bien conectado para dar mas conexión a la historia de los pasados juegos.

    Los puzzles no son para nada complicados, las armas son bastante interesantes, la jugabilidad es muy buena, los combos y los movimientos con los botones de psp me gustaron mucho

    Es un juego que recomiendo. dura de 7 a 10 horas y nos ayuda a conocer la historia del pasado de Kratos y la relacion tan importante que estos sucesos le dan a la historia del gow

    En conclusión es un juego muy interesante y que me parece muy importante de jugar, por si quieres saber la historia de Kratos mas a fondo y conocer de su pasado, dependiendo del titulo que hayas jugado primero.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story has a moment between Kratos and his daughter Calliope that is heartbreaking.

    The Blades of Chaos are great as usual and the new Gauntlet of Zeus weapon is a welcomed addition. McKratos costume as well as Mime of War are very funny ones that I really like. The Efreet magic comes from outside the Greek world is a nice fire based magic that you get early on after defeating a boss.

    This is my 2nd favorite PSP game right behind Ghost of Sparta so I give Chains of Olympus a score of 10    … Expand

    El primer juego de la PlayStation Portable que protagoniza el Fantasma de Esparta. Un juego más sencillo que sus entregas de sobremesa en todos los apartados, pero compensa con un gameplay cómodo y adaptado a la PSP. Su historia es mucho más personal que los dos juegos anteriores (GOW y GOW2) y más enigmática.

    the weakest game in the franchise for me it's not bad by any means but also not as good and the boss fights don't feel as epic as the rest of the tittles

    In my personal opinion, Ghost of Sparta was better. :)
    Don`t get me wrong the game is good, but it doesn`t really put as much to the table as the other one.
    Yet still its a nice game (as expected from the francize)

    Is it as good as the two PS2 God of War games? Not quite, but it's close. The fact that a PSP port of God of War can be this close to the legendary originals is amazing.

    There are titles for every console that truly define the platform, and God of War: Chains of Olympus is one of those titles. Stunning graphics the likes of which we’ve never seen, an incredible soundtrack that rivals PS3/Xbox 360 titles, standout voice work, and gameplay that is on-par with the two previous PS2 titles makes this a must-own for any fan of the series.

    The PSP hasn’t yet seen a game with this much polish, this much visual punch, or this much bloody satisfaction. Everything feels meaty, be it the clash of weapon on flesh or the substantial amount of gameplay depth and environmental design. Not only is Chains of Olympus a worthy addition to the God of War franchise, it also stands on its own as a triple-A title in the PSP library.
