    Ele apresenta gráficos melhores que o Chains of Olympus, também apresenta uma gameplay aprimorada com mais elementos únicos e uma história melhor desenvolvida no geral, ainda assim pecou no quesito me divertir de verdade, mas é um bom jogo.

    La brutalidad en general de este GoW está a otro nivel los gritos de Kratos se sienten reales y con furia de verdad y la historia del brother demás del puktas y el final que sabes que va a pasar ufff
    Y toda la parte de los dominios de la muerte.

    Holy, This game is incredible, and here I am thinking GOW III is the only game with extreme improvements across the board, this game on the PSP and the PS3 is top tier.

    Oh and if you are on PC, I did get to emulate them, and they work great on PPSPP, PS2 and PS3 emulators. Of course, let me just put a little disclaimer here, I do not under any circumstances condone or recommend piracy.

Of course, let me just put a little disclaimer here, I do not under any circumstances condone or recommend piracy. I was lucky enough to get the disks officially from a friend, the older PSP games and the collection on PS2 and PS3.

    Anyway, Ghost of Sparta is my second-best GOW game in the franchise now, it's better than GOW I and II in my opinion. However, 2 small tiny details that I dislike in this game, are the abilities, and the amount of red orbs you get.

    I never once used any magical abilities because to me they kind of suck, lol. Besides Spartan weapons that's nice.
    And the amount of red orbs in this game is a bit much, I fully upgraded all my weapons and I had left 20k+ orbs for no reason whatsoever.

    But overall this is a great game that takes elements from GOW III and does a great gameplay twist on the PSP console, rushing enemies and beating them never felt so satisfying. GOW games have always been good maybe not Ascension but this game kept the franchise strong on PSP.

    I'm glad, I played this, Next is Chains of Olympus.

    Oh right, the rating is a 9/10, just right under GOW III.    … Expand

    A cool scenario and great graphics mark out another quality scrolling beat 'em up/platform hybrid from the franchise. Perhaps a little overly difficult in places and more save points wouldn't have gone amiss, but a quality title.

    Klasyk nad klasykami. Potężna fabuła Ducha Sparty potrafi namieszać w głowie niejednemu. Satysfakcjonujący system walki, ciekawi przeciwnicy, mechanika ulepszania sprawia, że chce się brnąć w to dalej i dalej. Fabularnie gra dała mi emocji, których nie zapomnę i wspominając tę grę zawsze będzie mi się robić ciepło na sercu.

    Pretty underrated game in the GOW series. It´s a bit too short but it´s an interesting addition to the franchise, and it´s fun too.

    Можно отметить только то, что GoW для PSP стал ещё лучше.

    With the interesting atmosphere of the game, the interesting story and the strange monsters and the constant arrival of the monsters, the game becomes very fun, even fighting the enemy at the end of the game is very nice and if you have the opportunity to play, do not miss this opportunity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has a important story that helps show why Kratos hates the gods so much.

    I love the Arms of Sparta as a 2nd weapon and when matched with the Legionnaire costume allows for great role-playing as real Spartan Warrior. The other costumes are all great as well they did such a good job with them. The game has nice magics with Scourge of Erinys being a top tier magic in the franchise. I love Thera's Bane which allows you to set the Blades of Athena on fire.

    There are collectables that are usable in bonus play like Callisto's Armlet that auto wins quick time evens to The Bonds of Ares providing infinite magic and Aphrodite's Ambrosia from completing the sex mini game 3 times in a row allowing you to perform a powerful This is Sparta! like kick that helps make bonus play extra enjoyable.

    From the Temple of Zeus you can get the Grave Digger's Shovel which allows you to play as Zeus in the battle arena with Blade of Olympus and Gauntlet of Zeus which is so cool.

    This is the best PSP game and my favorite God of War game I have played I give Ghost of Sparta a score of 10    … Expand

    El mejor juego de la franquicia para una portátil de Sony, incorpora mejoras jugables respecto a Chains of Olympus y algunos detalles visuales de GOW3. A pesar de su simpleza jugable al ser un juego de PSP, su historia lo eleva como juego. Su punto negativo es que los acontecimientos finales suceden muy rápido entre sí.

    I'll rate 9.2 overall by soundtrack/gameplay/story/graphic. The story has portrait Kratos brother's life and his childhood memories although it's kind of brief for storytelling but that's enough for all of point of the story. The gameplay is challenging enough even after you completed you could still challenge God Mode for training yourself not to be rusty at control.

    It's probably not fair to judge with height of our days, but the game feels kinda outdated(finishing every "big" mob). It looks great, CGI videos are great, direction, effects, dynamic fights. But the story itself is empty and lame, weapon arsenal is not that big(but to be fair, it is big enough to keep your interest through the whole game).

The game feels not great in it's size, in sense of content, the only difficulty is enemy HP bar, which is i should say in our days feels like too much? It has't smooth difficulty rise. The hardest(and i would say, the only hard episode) and it's simple ship fight, just because it is nearly 20 minutes in one place, pressing the same buttons and killing endless enemies, it is just feels like eternity. Still, i should give Sony some redit, for this game and what they managed to do. But last third of the game feels kinda empty and exausting. Didn't play COO( and any other game except GOS, but gonna do it and correct my opinion about GOS). Though i have a lot of claims to this game, though i think that the story is absent, though i returned to this game through many years in 2022, and i feel that is is outdated i'm thinking about green rating. Okay, let's do it this way: for today's nerd it is 7, for hardcore gamer of early 2010's it is 8 with a plus, when most people(including me) played this game when we were young it was 10/10. So, it is fair to make allowances on it's age… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As the first God Of War game I`ve played, it truly made the introduction to the francize smooth. I understood the plot even without any experiences with the other games. The story is emotional and dramatic, with probably the best character development of Kratos by far. This game made me love God Of War.… Expand

    Easily one of the best god of war ever. The story is dark, the boss fights are thrilling,there is deep gore during fights etc.Short, but "GOAT".

    Chains of Olympus was a pretty title, but even it stands as nothing compared to this graphical juggernaut. While there's no denying that the scenes depicted within can't compare with the exercise in colossal that was God of War III, the amazingly high fidelity of the graphics are guaranteed knock your sandals off in other ways. Don't let the seemingly diminutive size of the PSP fool you, this is one of the best games in the GOW series. [January 2011 p80]

    Ghost of Sparta seems like the last bit of story that can be rung out of Kratos' story, so Sony Santa Monica has a lot of work ahead of themselves to figure out what is next for the series.

    An absolute essential addition to your collection if you own a PSP, and is quite possibly the finest title to fit in your pocket to date.
