God of War: Chains of Olympus

akonnick's God of War: Chains of Olympus (PlayStation Portable) review

Stripped Down God of War 1

This review doesn't need to be long - if you liked God of War 1 and don't mind a slighty scaled-down portable version, you will probably like this game.  I am a little burned out on the franchise, but found myself compelled to keep playing as the pacing of these games is usually very well done.  There were a few technical hiccups, but otherwise the game was very visually impressive for a portable title.  The end of the game presented endless kill rooms full of cheap enemies, at which point I turned the game off and shipped it to someone else.  Considering how ridiculous the story became after the first game, I don't think I missed much.  In summary, there's fun to be had for fans of the series, but I think this is likely my last foray into the God of War universe.

When I first got CoO I had read heaps of Gamespot and IGN revews saying how dissapointing this game was, so when I got it I had my doubts. But when I started playing CoO those doubts vanished. I will tell you why...Like all God of wars so far there is a complex and intriguing story, it is a lot more focused on Kratos's past and family like the first God of War game. This game is set before the first two games where Kratos is a servant of the Gods of Olympus, and is still trying to rid himself of...
