  • It retains all of the epic awesomeness of the first two God of War titles. Dont think for a second that just because its on the PSP, its any less amazing. The graphics are fantastic. Even though the PSP screen features less real estate, the game sti...
  • There isnt a great variety to the enemies. This also means that there arent as many "fatality" sequences either. Everything feels just a little narrower in scope. While the game is still epic, it isnt as long nor is it as far-reaching as the previou...
  • Chains is a worthy addition to the franchise. While we want nothing more than to continue on with Kratos journey towards the top of Mount Olympus and his final battle with Zeus, we were more than happy to take a short detour along the way and spend ti...

  • Prequel to the PS2 God Of War games, you get to find a few more details into Kratos life and gives you a bit of some back log story that helps explain God of War and God of War II
  • Not the longest PSP game but still the best.

  • Incredible technically, more God of War goodness, loads of combat
  • Lack of adventuring aspects
  • If the fact its God of War wasn’t enough, this is by far one of the best PSP games ever likely to be available

  • Runs beautifully, looks amazing for a PSP game, All the brutal fun you'd expect from a GoW title, Bloody as all hell
  • Unskippable cutscenes, Awkward dodging controls, Kind of short for a God of War
