Video Games : God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP)

- Tomb Raider + Tekken + Greek Mythology =
Pretty much a reason to buy the PSP in it's own right.
A superbly-crafted, story-driven mix of puzzles and gory beat-em-up designed for the over eighteen crowd.
The non-fighting parts feel very 'Lara' - lots of opening stuff and collecting things - albeit with a big bald fella instead of a pneumatic brunette. The fighting side of things isn't just button-mashing either. The more enemies you defeat, the more 'orbs' you collect, which can then be traded up for more effective combos and moves.
Then there's the story, which is an excellent spin on Greek mythology, with a genuine plot that you'll want to follow.
Some may bemoan the static camera, but that never harmed the enjoyment of the early Resident Evil games, did it? Besides, the camera here is way superior - you don't actually feel like trying to go where you can't because the visuals are so rich and the level design so accomplished that you are naturally drawn to where you need to be.
Buy this now! And when you do, play it through a decent set of earphones to really appreciate the excellent sound, score and narration.
I'd long since abandoned my PS2 in favour of PC gaming, but after this little gem, I will be buying God Of War and God of War II and going back to the old DualShock joypad!
For the price of a pizza and a bottle of wine, this is an absolute steal!

Every time I play this game on the Tube I miss my stop!! It's incredibly immersive and not just because of the graphics. The music score is superb as well and really gets the blood pumping when slicing and dicing your foes. I love the combat system in the game - very intuitive and leaves options for tactics as well as just hacking and slashing. Some of the fights are epic and seem to go on for ages - Which is a good thing!!!!
This game would be good by most systems standards so to get this on a handheld is quite frankly jaw dropping.
If you own a PSP then you must get this game - The Gods Command it!!!
Rating: - Class act
Having read several of the reviews of this game nearly all giving high praise all i can do is add my voice to the crowd.
This game is the single stand out game on the PSP, it has superb graphics, perfectly judged and satisfying gameplay, great fight scenes and also well judged puzzles. Every aspect of this game is well thought out, judged and executed - it is excellant.
I haven't tried to explain the plot and aims of the game, but simply to say this is £20 extremely well spent for your PSP, it is the best game on the PSP bar none
Rating: - AWESOME !
This game is quite literally mind blowing, the graphics are fantastic, the story line brilliant and just everything is amazing. There is just one small criticism i have and that is that the game is no where near long enough !

- Awesome,but........
.....way too short. The game plays like a dream and looks amazing - however it only took me (an unexperienced PSP player) around 1 day to complete it which was a great dissapointment; I certainly had expected more.
