Hmm tough decision. Ok answer these questions. WOuld you prefer a hardcore but short game or an emotional long hot delicious game?

I think you know which is which. I would go with CC though but then...GOW is awesome...Get both!

If you have the money, get both, but if you have to choose go with "FFVII: Crisis Core", you will definetly love it. Of course if you're new to the series and haven't played the original game, then read up on it in Wikipedia or right here in GameSpot. If you've played the original one and are a fan, it's a MUST-HAVE. Right now I can safely say that Crisis Core is the best RPG (for handheld).

If you can get both, I would do it. If you have to choose one, FF:CC should be the obvious choice.

I agree with people saying that Chains of Olympus was short... really short even compared to the other GOW titles. You can't go wrong with Crisis Core. IMO the best game on the system to date.

If JRPG's and Crisis Core is your thing, it will provide you with substantially more gameplay time.. And replay value due to the want to power game making your character a god.

God of War was fun and the battle system rocked but it ended so soon i wish i would have bought it used, 40 dollars is alot for 9 hours of total game time (thats 3 playthroughs) while CC was money well spent i already have 26 hours and just started my second playthrough.... CC ftw, but god of war when it gets cheaper.

I picked Chains of Olympus, even if it was five or so hours in length it really, really made me feel like I was playing a console God of War game. In my mind it has to be the greatest hand held game I've ever played just because it brought the experience of playing one of the most epic games on a little portable gaming system.

It's bloody, it's intense, and it's hella short, but I'll be damned if I didn't get this game, sublime from start to finish.

Ummm I could honestly say get both. But if you had to choose one... Then get Crisis Core. Like stated above it does last longer like 20+ hours. It's also more fun in my opinion. But they do both rock. =)

I would say Crises Core as well. The combat isn't as fluid, but it makes up for it with depth of story, and a little character customization. I have both and don't have enough time to play them. CC attracts my attention more often than God of War.

Both games are excellent purchase. If I had to chose one because of the budget, I would go with Crisis Core. That's only because I enjoy JRPG's more then other gaming genres. ^_^

I have netither of the games, I wish I had... But if I had to choose, I think I would go for CoO (I have the demo). I don't actually care if the game is short, I just want to have the perfect experience when I'm playing and God of War Chains of Olympus gives me that feeling. But if you have the money you realy should buy both.

I think God of War is the better game. But it's less than a quarter the length.

For purchase, go with FFVII:CC. I had about 100 hours playing through twice. I managed to finish GoW:CoO with just a rental. It's a fun game, but very short, unless you play on different difficulties.

I'd definitely say God of War. As of right now on Amazon, both games are 20 dollars.

Crisis Core is a good game, but not as great as everyone says it is. It's shamelessly padded with hours upon hours of repetitive identical missions and the storyline is actually not that long (I will grant that it's longer than GoW though, and pretty good to boot). The core gameplay gets repetitive even for the duration of the story line and replay value is only good if you feel like upgrading is your joy in life.

God of War is not as repetitive as Crisis Core, is tougher than Crisis Core's standard difficulty, and just a more enjoyable experience all around as it does feel like you're playing the console games.

The only reason why I would get Crisis Core over GoW is if I was die hard FF7 fan. If you aren't really on the FF7 bandwagon then you might not see what all the fuss is about.

Here's a point for Crisis Core though: if you haven't played FF7, the story and ending of Crisis Core are even better.

Let's see... a game about gladiators which might make people question your sexuality ("Airplane!" anyone?)... or a Final Fantasy game... sounds like a bit of a toss-up.

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

I think having "both" in the polls takes away the purpose of this post and discussion. Because if you want both anyway, why ask which one you should get, LOL! Anyway, I also go with Crisis Core because you get your money's worth. God of War, like everyone said, is a very short game. You can rent it or buy a used one at Gamestop, pass it in a few days, and than return it! But Crisis Core will take longer than a few weeks to get everything. But good thing GoW is only $19.99 now as a greatest hits. Because I definitely wouldn't pay $40 for it. But Crisis Core, I'd pay $40 for it and it's worth it.

I would say Chains of Olympus because the graphics are suprisingly good for the PSP, but thebad thing is it is very short. But if you can get both then get both because Crysis Core has received good reviews.

I have both. I must say, CoO is amazing, action packed, amazing graphics, lots of gore etc... But my vote goes to Crisis core. I hated the battle system, it was so bad, but the storyline was one of the best. There was so many cut scenes, and me being a FF fan, it was all very amazing. But if you're not really into the whole Final fantasy stuff, go with CoO.
