Bought the PSP just for this... [Posted on 2008-05-22] Like so many, I'm just one more GOW fan--and though I have nothing new to say about the game that someone else hasn't already, I can offer one more voice to the choir for the proverbial singing of praises towards this game.
Yes, the graphics are absolutely beautiful. No, I've never owned a PSP before buying this game but I have seen plenty of games displayed on the portable units of others. This is definitely the best I've seen thus far.
Other reviewers have noted that while playing, the presentation was so spectacular that they forget they were playing on a PSP...I too became immediately oblivious to what I was holding in my hands.
The music? Of course, it was excellent. As we came to expect no less after our first go-around with Kratos as well as the fantastic sequel, the sound quality along with the musical score in Chains of Olympus undoubtedly sets the bar that will find rival designers and studios struggling hard to emulate.
The story was short and the characters lack the depth and scope compared to those in GOW1 & GOW2--but I was prepared for that. Thanks to the other helpful reviews, I didn't work myself up to naively think this was going to be the same type of gaming experience the PS2 predecessors afforded, but compared to the other PSP games out there (which is, in fact, a more fair comparison), and as attested by many, many, many PSP gamers--this is a knockout!!
So there you go, thanks to God of War:Chains of Olympus, I'm just one more happy fan of Kratos...and a PSP noob. (Compliments to Sony for finding so many ways to take so much of my money...can't wait until I have to shell out even more to buy a PS3 for GOW3 [Sigh]...oh well.)
A MUST HAVE for all PSP owners. [Posted on 2008-05-25] First things first -- wear headphones.
If this is not the best sounding game that I have heard in a long time then nothing is. The sound is absolutely fantastic. The music and effects never get old.
The graphics are stunning on the PSP, although they get a bit jaded if you try and run it off a larger TV.
The gameplay was fun (about 7 hours) and did not feel repetitive. The narration was fantastic as always and Kratos was as bad-ass as ever.
Great game with a high replay value. Worth the money and time.

Excelente [Posted on 2008-06-20] producto 100% recomendado llegò sin ningun inconveniente y seguro, era lo que esperaba, muchas gracias
THE GAME TO PLAY [Posted on 2008-06-29] The game is great, the min-games are a bit hard to beat. It's like the first two games, with a surprise ending. Don't look for cheat codes...
amazing. [Posted on 2008-07-10] wow!
This game is great, seriously, its action packed, great graphics, great story, great gameplay, simple controls. It has everything, it even has sex in the game.
A little disappointed with the ending, as its really easy and ends too fast.
It took me 5 hours with plenty of help online to finish the whole game, it spartan mode.
If your looking for a game that is action packed, killing things, special weapons/skills, with an interesting experience growing of weapons/skills, then I would recommend this game.
Overall:
Great game for teens.
