Ever since its existence was first hinted at on the back of God of War IIs game manual, God of War: Chains of Olympus has been one of the most anticipated games for the PlayStation Portable. Now that the wait is finally over, the question is: Does it...
Outstanding technical and artistic visuals, Combat is intense and gory, Soundtrack fits the game perfectly.
Very, very little in the way of new gameplay elements, Can easily be beaten in less than seven hours, Could have used more puzzles, platforming segments, and bosses.
Although it feels a bit like God of War: Lite, Chains of Olympus delivers a great, combat-heavy adventure with excellent production values...

The acclaimed God of War series is leaping from PS2 to handheld, and it might be easy to write off Ready at Dawns God of War: Chains of Olympus as merely "Kratos on PSP." Thats not a totally unfair comparison, but it doesnt do the new game justice...
Combat system is among the finest in a handheld game; great weapons; stellar visuals and art design; high replay value.
Some frustrating puzzle and combat sections; good but not great story; hardcore gamers will find it too short.
