    Very impressive for an early handheld game.

    Good- the hack and slash is as good as the first one. Though nothing really new.- the pre-rendered cutscenes are nicer looking- the premise of the storyline is much more epic, teaming with gaia, then fighting zeus, killi... Read Full Review

    Great. But I did not understand the story very well

    The story, as far as I understood, is... stop the Titans that may wreck the Olympus, because he is ordered by the gods in exchange of his absolution. Gameplay, nothing new. Same combos, even combo names, you have anothe... Read Full Review

    Does nothing new from God of War 1, but a brilliant game nonetheless

    What's the point of writing a review on a game released 6 years ago and one which most people have probably already played? No one's likely to read this review, but since the internet is a free place, I'm going to write... Read Full Review

    Pocket sized but packs a punch.

    I was putting off playing the God of War games on the PSP because I think that these games must be played on a big screen but to my surprise they translate to a handheld very well. ======================================... Read Full Review

    A solid action adventure game on the PSP, that shows what the system can do.

    God of War is one of the greatest action adventure games to come out. When it first came out on the Play Station 2, it blew everyone away with its awesome game play, great graphics and bloody finisher moves. Now God of W... Read Full Review

    God Of War: Chains of Olympus Review

    While it's introduction to the PSP did not disappoint there are a few reasons on why it didn't get the highest score possible. 1. It's far too short 2. A lack of boss battles 3. Fewer weapons than previous installme... Read Full Review

    Chains of Olympus is a great action game that PSP owners should definitely pick up.

    God of War 1 and 2 on the PS2 were excellent action titles for the system. As Kratos, a badass demigod, you blasted your way through scores of mythical beasts on an awesome adventure in Greek mythology. Both were fanta... Read Full Review

    Pretty good GOW gem!

    Considering Chains of Olympus was a release for the PSP, this game is just as good as any God of War released for the PS2 system. The story is strong and the pace is spot on. Visually this game got some nice improvements... Read Full Review
