God of Gameplay
This game is incredible.
Its my first experience with the God of War franchise, and what a stunner it is. If you've played one of the others you'll be happy to play this, if you haven't, you're in for a ride.

This is easily the best game I have played in a good few years. The storyline is brilliant, mixing myth and legend with modern ideas and pulling it off is a rarety, but its done here and then some.

There are standard and special attacks, all of which are easy to pull off, and easy to remember, despite there being a fair number of them.

The ease of gameplay is something I found particularly refreshing. Kratos is relentless in this title and the feeling is more than portrayed to you as you wont be able to put it down. There are a few little puzzles, but nothing taxing, and it all helps to break up slaughtering people with a little thinking that after two minutes will have you well on your way again. There is also a touch of strategy in this game when it comes to enemies as some are a little too clever for your basic attacks, but specials come with the price of reduced health and reduced magic, and knowing when to us them can really help you out later on.

There is enough difference in this action-packed chop'em-up to prevent it becoming repetitive and continually upgrading and changing enemies help that too.

My only, and I do mean only, complaint, is that I felt it finished too soon and suddenly, but I can't work out if thats because it really did, or because I played it so much I finished it in a few days and wanted more.
Needless to say, I started it again.

Go buy it, you wont regret it.

Fantastic game
Bought this game for my boyfriend a few days ago & he hasn't put it down since! Also had a little go myself, graphics are great and the storyline and game itself I can't fault. The only negative we found was that the save points at times seemed to take forever to reach which is a bit annoying when you want to finish up as we had to keep playing ages before we had chance to save. Also some of the puzzles involved in opening doors are a little challenging but I suppose that's better tha them being too easy. Overall would reccomend as a good game.

FANTASTIC!!!
Well i thought i would never buy and play a game such as this but its awesome .The graphics are the best i have seen so far on the psp, they look alot like xbox 360 graphics. The storyline is superb. While you are playing and getting through the game you get alot of commentery about the game and the hero himself, your not just left to guess alot of it which alot of games i have played tend to. Alot of people i have seen reviewing are saying the game itself is too short,I had so much fun playing this game i couldnt of cared less how long or short it was! So if you want a long game to play this isnt the game for you! The variety of moves which you are able to pick up as you play is impressive esp where its on a handheld console. You have 4 different levels of experitise you can play, this is great esp for people like me who need to start on easy mode and then work my way up! The game consists of alot of puzzles which you have to solve to move on in the game, some of them are a little frustrating but after a while you can work them out. Overall this is a 5 star game and has dealt what it promised!!

Short Short Short
This is the thing I bought this game via the previous one and the storyline is so boring and is utter rubbish and I completed the entire game within 12 HOURS thats right. It's so short and easy, it's amazing to play don't get me wrong but it's not worth paying for it if your getting a couple hours of exitment. The graphics are average and you get new abilites and one new weapon - Slow but Powerful - The only troubling thing was the Underworld when you have to jump over the massive gaps and you keep dying so Hint* Go well far baack and sprint to the point where you jump ( It took me 2 hours to get past one part ) and the boss is so easy and again the ending of the storyline is terrible

god of war psp
ive played both on the ps2 and i got this two days ago for my new psp3000 and was amazed by how much it looks and feels like i was playing it on a ps2. its pure gow with puzzles and power ups and gore graphics are excellent for a portable console,. its got a good story but no ares so you dont hear him shout ARREESSSSS!!! PICK THIS GAME UP CHEAP THOUGH AS I DID FINISH IT IN A DAY but i had an amazing experience doing so fingers crossed they bring out another cause i really enjoyed it. psp has some camera issues on some games but on gow it controls the camera for you (nice) makes a big difference not having to use the d-pad for the camera made me enjoy it more 4/5 cause while its over all to soon its amazing to play and thats what games are about fun fun fun
