  Chains of Olympus Review

  I was crazy to get this game on my hands, and when I did, my expectations were fulfilled.
  
  I liked the story, the new characters, the new monsters, and specially, The Gauntlet of Zeus, the best secondary weapon to be wore by The Ghost of Sparta.
  
  The new magic powers are ok, and I noticed some improvements on what we were used to see on the first two games of the series.
  
  A simple one that I liked a lot was when we make a mistake in a mini-game, the button that was supposed to be pressed, appears red on the screen.
  
  And the big improvement, at least for me, was the return of the counter attacks moves when we're on parry mode. That was a cool method on GOW 1 that we didn't see on GOW2 and I'm happy it's back now.
  
  Overall, it keeps up what we had seen in the previous games, with the outstanding story line, the marvelous soundtrack and the beatiful voice work.
  
  And the graphics are just as good as the other games, which is quite an accomplishment.
  
  
  The only thing that I really didn't like was the ending. Persephone isn't a great boss, it was weird to fight a girl with wings.
  
  Some people are complaining about the lenght of the game, but I thought it was quite right for a handheld.
  
  Let's see what GOW3 will hold for us in the future.
