    It is one of the best psp and gow games. Don't think it lost its gow identity just because it's a psp game! the game is pretty good

    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.

    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

    Its a really great destruction game and all with a wide variety of fun puzzles, but in the end, there isn't much variety and once you beat the game, you could beat it again and again, but for what? It will certainly impress you and I recommend it, but it's not the best game for psp out there, This game will probably keep you busy for 2 or 3 weeks.

    First of all I want to say the graphics are a 11 while the controls are a little wishy washy and warrant a 7. Its very hard to pull off rotations on the little stub and I felt the overall fighting engine was a step down from it ps2 brethren which have more crisp controls. Also the game is pretty short and the final boss is a chick... Not a purchase a rental for a few days.

    Good Game, Great fun. This God of War Game was way to short and I unlocked everything in seven hours. I don't think this is the best psp game, but it sure set the bar for best graphics. If I was to rate this just for fun it would be a 10, but I don't think its worth $40 and should wait for The Destruction of the Gods game for ps3.

    Esthetically extremely pleasing; however the faint and slightly forced puzzle element that prevents the game from becoming a mere 'hack and slash' game and repetitive action sequences get a bit boring after time.

    La jugabilidad es buena, los gráficos muy buenos para psp, el argumento es algo simple, no tiene la profundidad del God of War 3 de PS3, pero cumple para un juego de portátil, en mi opinión. Le falta algo de personalización, ya que sólo consigues 3 armas en todo el juego que mejoras hasta el máximo bastante antes de que termine el juego.

    The graphics background are very good for the system with excellent character models while also not so great ones then the cut-scenes are a highlight in the game.

Great voice acting, interesting mythological level design like the games on the ps2 but shorter than usual. Sound is very good while the only flaw here is having no wind sound. The sounds effects are standard god of war sounds which is both great and familiar. The story of the kratos is before the events of the first game but it retells the same tragic story again but at-least with different villains, while kratos works with the future villains of the series. Overall the story is flawed because the main problem could have been easily solved and some of the actions of the characters doesn't add up. The game-play is smooth and satisfying, you can do the same moves of the previous games with interesting new moves and a few super magic powers. The distant camera works fine for almost all the game where you can see your character but in there a few moments that you can't see the enemies or the final boss attack. For some reason the camera doesn't show them. The game makes you walk, fight enemies then bosses, jump, swim, climb, open doors, push objects, press button prompts, and solve puzzles. While the enemy variety and puzzles is not much it is still good enough to keep you entertain for a good while and the un-lockable customs are a must. Also the challenges return and surprisingly I ended up preferring it over the original. Overall Chains of Olympus is a outstanding game.… Expand

    . Some cut-scenes aren't skippable. Man, when you fighting the last boss in higher difficulties and dies before the checkpoint, you can't skip the cutscene which delay "trys" and make the player mad

    . At some fights, you could abuse of the "grab" enemies mechanics which make game a lot easier. That could be nerfed.    … 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.

    [PT-BR] De fato God of War Chains of Olympus é o jogo mais fraquinho da saga God of War,mas ainda não deixa de ser bom,o jogo se passa cronologicamente antes de God of War 1,e mostra o tempo em que Kratos ainda servia aos Deuses.

    A really solid game. The story didn't stick with me as much after playing but a solid portable game nonetheless.

    I'm just writing at least 150 characters because I wanted to save this review in a more convenient way to look back at scores that I had given stuff as a user

    A decent game, but not very memorable, too short too, can´t be sure if it´s worth the money.

    Kind of disappointing. The commercials made me expect a lot more. Had it not been for that I would've given it a 7. Good graphics, good gameplay, all round OKAY game...

    However did this average button masher get so overrated? The graphics are nice and there are a few half decent puzzles, but the game play is mostly dull and the story hard to care about. Also, is the main character supposed to be a pastiche of everything wrong with American game heroes? Or do the developers just have no sense of humor at all? Put it right on the bottom of your PSP wish However did this average button masher get so overrated?

    My favorite part of this high-intensity action game is wandering around hallways with no enemies, pushing blocks around for fifteen minutes. So badass! The great graphics really enhance the hardcore "press square repeatedly to kill everything on screen and automatically win" gameplay. I like to watch Jersey Shore unironically, so you can imagine how much I appreciate shallow things.

    The second worst God of War game. But a god of War game is at least always ok

    Chains of Olympus is really just rehashing the least epic portions of the first two games. Honestly, how many times am I going to have to level up the same blades? It’s like this character has memory loss and I gotta retrain him every few months. I get that this is a prequel but there are many ways to still have made it more unique. And the final boss? We meet the character RIGHT before weChains of Olympus is really just rehashing the least epic portions of the first two games.

I get that this is a prequel but there are many ways to still have made it more unique. And the final boss? We meet the character RIGHT before we have to fight her, it’s the biggest left-field random “surprise” and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes— the final ending just feels tacked in last-minute. There’s not too much else to say, it doesn’t feel fresh but if you like God of War then this will most likely please you. Alternatively, you're like me and love GoW but this game feels like a lazy attempt at making GoW portable.… Expand

    Im playing this on ps now and dear god this game is unplayable with the input lag. The parry is broken, enemies keep bashing so you can't move and die quickly (on titan dif). The forgot a few health chest so make sure you make lots and lots of saves or else your gonna be in trouble. This is def the worst gow game i played from the seriers. The graphics look good the story is ok.... andIm playing this on ps now and dear god this game is unplayable with the input lag.

And the boss will do so much damage in the beginning because you can hardly dodge while the game is loading it's the most broken boss ive seen in the serie.… Expand

    I like this game more than the first one but it's still pretty mediocre to be honest

    The story is mediocre the whole game is backtracking through the areas you've already been to before and there is lot of cut content some of it is even seen in the bonus section in the main menu.

    The set pieces, presentation and bosses hold this game together. It's a fun little spin off, but it's really nothing special. The combat plays the same as God Of War (2005) which is to say it's fairly simple leaning heavily on its constituent elements

    wow. another button masher. god of was, obviously, is a graphic, enemies and X button. Here we got average graphic, enemies and X button. Developers, please, use all buttons of this console. There is O left to X, really.

    When you have a game that can pull off large epic vistas, an intuitive combat system and any excuse for an abundant amount of half naked ladies, it

    The look of the game, even the fighting animations or other animations are not worth playing too badly and the story is not good either. I don't recommend you to play it. I think you can download better stuff instead.

    Its definatly not a bad game, but its pretty disappointing, only about 3 bosses. The graphics are nice, but the game kinda gets repetitive and creepy. The story is kinda uninteresting. Comparing to this Persona 3 portable. God of war simply has no replay value, nothing fun about it, not much variety, nothing new or cool to explore, no eastereggs, etc. The story of Persona 3 was so wellIts definatly not a bad game, but its pretty disappointing, only about 3 bosses.

God of War was way too short. It is impressive for 2008 and if this game were released now, it would probably get a lower score. But the main problem is that its very forgettable. The bosses arent that fun. And it gets too repetitive.… Expand

    All of the hype and great ratings brought me towards the game and the horrible system and simple bosses brought me away from the PSP. Simply said, this game offered no challenge and the random sex scene in the game proved to be pointless.

    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.
