Video Game Reviews of God of War Chains of Olympus
Customer Review: The must-have game for PSP
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this game with the God of War PSP pack, mostly because I wanted the newer PSP and it seemed like a nice perk to get a game with it. After having played it, I can honestly say that this game is probably the only PSP game that you NEED to own. As a fair warning for parents, it is rated "M" for a reason.
Having said that, the "M" rating is what makes the game so great for people like myself. There's nothing more satisfying than ripping the head off a Medusa and pounding your dagger into the eye of a cyclops. I've never played any God of War games before this one, but so far, I am hooked.
Some reviewers have said that it is too short, but for a PSP game, it seems long enough for me. There are some good plot points, but not enough to slow down the gameplay, which is a good thing in this case.
The graphics are amazing and the controls are well-executed. If I had to dock the game for anything, though, it would be that there are a lot of different button combos to keep track of, as is typical of any game in this category. However, if tearing apart bad guys brings a smile to your face, this is a game you need.
Customer Review: I can't feel my fingers. That's normal, right?
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a relative newbie to gaming per se, I doubt I can offer a subjective analysis (sic) of the game. I can tell you that I'd ignored pretty much everything and everybody the last 2 weeks I spent in front of the console.
The game play is immersive, the environment rendered is stunning considering the console and the production values rival those of a feature length film. The game hooks you immediately thanks to couple of monsters than make some brilliant appearances; and yet manages to shock and awe at every turn.
The background score and great voice acting set this apart from every other third person shooter/slasher in the genre (I'm looking at you MGS). The physics engine is noteworthy but I'm fairly sure the inherent complexity and superior AI had a lot to do with the game being short.
At the end of the day, the game is rather epic in it's ambition and actually manages to resonate emotionally with the player. Well, at least this player.
Customer Review: God of War on the small screen!
Summary: 5 Stars
Game rocks, may be a bit short but the challenges of the Gods extends gameplay for a long time. If you love God of War, you will love this handheld entry to the series. It is awesome.Customer Review: Great game!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this in the entertainment pack (red) as a present and this was a great first game. Great music, graphics and fast exciting game play. As a first game for the psp 2000 i must say this spoiled me as i am comparing other games i am buying to this and so far this is still the best.Customer Review: Great game in small package
Summary: 5 Stars
This game helped me through a lot of boredom, although short, it is very entertaining and the fun never stops (until it's over). I think it's worth the money because it is so much fun! This is my first GoW game and I love it, can't wait to play the rest of them.
