February 26, 2008
God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP is the latest video game in the God of War franchise. This game has gathered much praise in various previews and also in the following online review.
- IGN (Score: 9.4 out of 10) - God of War: Chains of Olympus is a stellar achievement on the PSP. It plays perfectly into the franchise’s storyline and offers up the same level of intense action as its console counterparts. It’s also the best looking title on the system, without question. Engaging from start to finish, Chains of Olympus is a mandatory purchase for anyone who owns a PSP and doesn’t mind getting a little blood on their hands.
- GameSpot (Score: 8.5 out of 10) - Some new ideas and a better mixture of puzzles, platforming, and bosses would have been divine, but Chains of Olympus is an excellent game that delivers most of what you’ve been praying for–more God of War.
- GameSpy (Score: 4.5 out of 5) - God of War: Chains of Olympus is likely one of the year’s best handheld titles. The combat is tight enough to attract both long-time fans and gamers who’ve never played the PS2 games. It’s also one of the best-looking PSP titles to date; the fusion of familiar-looking art and prototypical-looking monsters ably captures that prequel feeling. … Chains of Olympus is more than another console game grafted to PSP; it’s a pint-sized triumph for the platform.
