Kratos returns to the PSP with more blood and more attitude.
This game is perfect at almost everything it does! The music, the dialogue, the graphics and the gameplay are all nothing short of brilliant. The game may not bring anything new to the table as far as originality and innovation goes, but it is yet another excellent game for action fans to play on the go.
If you've played other God of War games, then there's really nothing I can tell you other than you will feel right at home with Ghost of Sparta. The gameplay is the same as any other God of War game, except it's on a handheld system. Despite it being on a handheld system though; I feel comfortable in saying that Ghost of Sparta is comparable to the God of War games on the PS2.
God of War and its famous cinematic -like graphics don't cease to amaze on this handheld addition to the series. It is comparable to console graphics and it is with no doubt a great looking game with fantastic environments to look at. I never thought venturing into Sparta for the first time would look so amazing on a portable game system.
This addition to the God of War series takes place between God of War and God of War ll. In this game, Kratos is on the search for his long lost brother, who was captured by the gods when the two of them were kids. It's very interesting to see Kratos' relatives as well as glimpses of Kratos' childhood. Not only that, but it develops the story of the series and really shows the player one of the reasons why Kratos is the psychotic, enraged being we know of today.
As a result, Kratos is back with a vengeance. To avenge his brother and perform revenge on the gods.
Like other God of War games, you will hack and slash your way through all tons of enemies in a bloody, satisfying manner. There are all sorts of cool combos you can do and cool powers you can unlock. One of the rewards include the Arms of Sparta, a spear and a shield useful for ranged attacks and the Scourge of Erinys which emits an orb that does damage as well as steal enemies' health and claim it as your own.
I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. If you like God of War and if you're a fan of action games, there is really no reason not to own this game. It's definitely worth the money, it's fun and addictive as hell to play...and I like it.
That is all.
