    If you have a PSP, buy God of War. If you have an iPhone, buy Hero of Sparta II.

    An easy sell for fans of the original, but it's still a fairly mindless action-slashing experience.

    What you would expect from God of War clone on the iPhone. It's really pretty but is fairly soulless and leaves a bit to be desired.

    The control system has been copied over too many times to count, and even the stellar graphics can't save the iPhone app from feeling a little tired by the end of an hour or so of playtime.
