Oct 9, 2014its the same game press x to win the game isn't very good and when it is the controls are horrible while its a fun game to play its not really a good game

Jan 7, 2017eu acho que God of War: Chains of Olympus inferior a qualquer game da trilogia principal, mais nao deixa de ser um jogo muito bom, boa historia, temos grande revelaçoes, bons graficos, uma boa dificuldade, boa trilha sonora, e uma ótima jogabilidade. Nota 8.9

Oct 17, 2011For a handheld game this is amazing. One is enthralled by the amazing landscape and the meticulous game play. Kratos as a character is the marlon brando of the gaming world and u just cant help but getting inside the mind of the character and feel his emotions

Jan 13, 2012God of War: Chains of Olympus for the Playstation Portable was great as if gave my inner killer great Spartan rage!!SCEA did a beautiful job on the graphics as well!
Good Job!

Mar 20, 2013What a beatiful game. I´ve played it in PS3 in HD, but I´m pretty sure this is the best psp game. The Graphics, the story, the fresh weapons and magic.The bosses are great and this game has really nice difficulty, a bit frustrating in high modes. It has an awsome storyline, only a bit short for me. If you are a GOW fan you must play this one.

Apr 11, 2012Realy good one. I don't understand why people stamp 1 or 0 score on it. That is just not fair.
-
Jul 25, 2013I played this game on Vita and this is still one of the best title I can get on this hendheld. Great story, great gameplay, so much fun. Love GOW, I am waiting for the GOW title espacially for PS Vita.

Nov 24, 2012La jugabilidad es buena, los gráficos muy buenos para psp, el argumento es algo simple, no tiene la profundidad del God of War 3 de PS3, pero cumple para un juego de portátil, en mi opinión. Le falta algo de personalización, ya que sólo consigues 3 armas en todo el juego que mejoras hasta el máximo bastante antes de que termine el juego.

Sep 27, 2013Chains of Olympus takes place before the original GOW, the gameplay is the same as the first GOW, the graphics are really good for a portable device and although the story is not as great as the other GOWs it is still pretty good.

Feb 8, 2014This game is absolutely spectacular. It has great graphics for a PSP game. Game play is simple and fun, it doesn't frustrate you. Story is satisfying like the other games in the series. Boss fights are very exciting, I love it. And Kratos is awesome as usual. It deserves 10 out of 10.
-
Mar 26, 2014This is a gem for every player with excellent graphics for the time, it's time to say that after the two God of War Games, this is awesome game to play.

Oct 10, 2011My favorite part of this high-intensity action game is wandering around hallways with no enemies, pushing blocks around for fifteen minutes. So badass! The great graphics really enhance the hardcore "press square repeatedly to kill everything on screen and automatically win" gameplay. I like to watch Jersey Shore unironically, so you can imagine how much I appreciate shallow things.

Nov 11, 2010Great fun and fresh experience. Stays true to GoW heritage. Great graphics that stays at high framerate. Great sound and music. Wish the game was longer but that's a good sign.

Feb 12, 2012The best PSP game I ever owned. I beat this game over ten times and unlocked a majority of the extras including the characters. Excellent game with decent replay value and extras to unlock to keep you blood thirsty for more!

Jan 31, 2013God Of War is Indeed the God of All PSP Games so Far. No Second Thoughts on that. The Moment you start playing this Game, you will find it hard enough to keep that frikkin psp Away !!

Apr 11, 2015A great game that captivates you and does not bore you. Full of thrills and chills. The choice of weapons that we have is also nice, though you tend to use blades of chaos more often. It does not take time to get comfortable with the game. One of the best games I have played on PSP.

VincentV.Apr 8, 2008Kind of disappointing. The commercials made me expect a lot more. Had it not been for that I would've given it a 7. Good graphics, good gameplay, all round OKAY game...

BrydenJOct 18, 2009Contrary to what others are saying, this game wasn't great. It was good, don't get me wrong, but it isn't the greatness that other people say it is. The game looked great but was too short. To me, Chains of olympus felt like God of War Lite. It just didn't feel like pure God of War.

BenjaminL.Apr 18, 2008This game is amazing to look at and the play is tremendous but it lacks durability. I completed it on normal within a week and although mini-games are opened up, I am not sure whether this will draw me back to the game. However, that is the only disappointments with this game but it is a biggie. Like I said, the game is stunning and one of the most impressive games to grace the PSP.

Aug 14, 2013All of the hype and great ratings brought me towards the game and the horrible system and simple bosses brought me away from the PSP. Simply said, this game offered no challenge and the random sex scene in the game proved to be pointless.

ChandeepS.Oct 1, 2008Its tottally awesome-great graphics and skull ripping strategy.

RaphaelW.Mar 10, 2008Best PSP game ever simply.

MikeS.Jul 20, 2008For the brief time it lasts, CHAINS is and epic gaming experience, and probably the greatest game ever produced for the PSP, and the greatest the system will ever see.

NickJun 25, 2009Its a really great destruction game and all with a wide variety of fun puzzles, but in the end, there isn't much variety and once you beat the game, you could beat it again and again, but for what? It will certainly impress you and I recommend it, but it's not the best game for psp out there, This game will probably keep you busy for 2 or 3 weeks.

DrakkenmenschMar 12, 2008When gamers play an action battle game, they want bloody satisfaction - Chains of Olympus delivers it by the bucketloads, and leaves us begging for more, more, MORE! The sounds are fabulous, the voice acting impeccable, the graphics mind-bending for a portable console. It's also worth noting that loading times are non-existant, each scene flowing seamlessly into one another.

EmirE.Mar 3, 2008This is by far the best PSP game I've ever played. Its also amazing to know that such game can be played anywhere you go, all in the palm of your hand.

SerjM.Mar 4, 2008Best game to date! SICK graphics!

PaulN.Mar 4, 2008Love it all day long! Addicting. MAJOR AAA title!

JoseH.Mar 5, 2008Incredible game, almost as good as the PS2 games in every way!
-
-
MattMar 6, 2008As excellent as gamers have come to expect from the series. Its one major downfall being the length of the campaign (I finished in in 5 hours flat). The quality of graphics, sound, gameplay and story however more than compensate for the game's brevity. Whets the appetite for God of War 3, which will bring about the inevitable necessity that is purchasing a PS3 (boo...).

BFMar 8, 2008I love this game, it seriously is the best PSP game ever. System seller for sure.

JenniH.Mar 8, 2008This is the most impressive PSP game. Simply incredible.

TomD.Apr 9, 2008First of all I want to say the graphics are a 11 while the controls are a little wishy washy and warrant a 7. Its very hard to pull off rotations on the little stub and I felt the overall fighting engine was a step down from it ps2 brethren which have more crisp controls. Also the game is pretty short and the final boss is a chick... Not a purchase a rental for a few days.

AndrDT.May 1, 2008The game isn't bad at all. Its really fun, but the ending was disappointing and it could have been a lot better.
-
-
AlexA.May 31, 2008Good Game, Great fun. This God of War Game was way to short and I unlocked everything in seven hours. I don't think this is the best psp game, but it sure set the bar for best graphics. If I was to rate this just for fun it would be a 10, but I don't think its worth $40 and should wait for The Destruction of the Gods game for ps3.
-
-
PierreP.Jul 25, 2008Esthetically extremely pleasing; however the faint and slightly forced puzzle element that prevents the game from becoming a mere 'hack and slash' game and repetitive action sequences get a bit boring after time.
-
-
JohnY.Aug 10, 2008This game is amazing. Perhaps the best game for psp. Along with Final Fantasy Crisis Core. Don't listen to all these guys whining about the controls. OF COURSE ITS NOT GOING TO PLAY LIKE A PS2 GAME FOOLS!!! It's a handheld system with one analog stick. You're just stupid if you don't like this game. Rate the ps2 games and get out of the psp forums. AWESOME GAME.

FrozFeb 26, 2008Amazing how they pulled this off on the PSP, game of the year EASY.
-
-
DaveMar 12, 2008A must have for any PSP owner. Not to sound cliche, but it's true. I'm not even a GOW fan...and I can't wait to fire it up and play a little more. Yes, short...but this game packs a lot on the tiny UMD.

-
MichaelD.Mar 21, 2008This is the best psp game ever, there is so much detail in the levels I can't believe it. Everyone with a psp should bye this and it is a must have!
-
-
StanleyM.Mar 4, 2008I picked this game up early this morning and have been playing it every free moment I got. This game is absolutely amazing if you haven't played and God of War titles go buy all three games and a PSP. If you already have play them again!

MikeB.Mar 9, 2008I haven't been this hooked on a PSP game since Lumines! The BEST PSP game!
-
-
MattJ.Apr 13, 2008The best game on PSP, and probably among the best graphics too. And with such a good storyline and epic music, who cares about slightly messy controls? And don't forget those great mini-games.
-
-
CarlosR.Apr 2, 2008Great story, great visuals, great emotions drawn. I would have liked to have a longer game and more bosses to defeat.

ChrisD.Apr 9, 2008Since I bought my PSP I haven't really found any games that I cannot put down, then along came chains of olympus. This game is epic, it looks amazing and plays amazing too. I'm not the sort of person who clocks games in a couple of days, but did with this. I was gutted, because I was really getting into it. Overall though it was epic.
-
-
PicorianSep 21, 2009This Game Rocks on the PSP! From beginning to End, it was the best PSP game I have ever played. I cant wait for the PS3 version to come out. It slows down at times, but the action more then makes up for it.
-
-
BrendanM.Feb 27, 2008Absolutely the best game on the psp, with stunning graphics and an amazing story line.
-
-
DavidG.Mar 11, 2008I would of preferred a decimal value to choose from because this game is not a perfect 10 for one reason and one reason only. Its too short. I give it a 10 though because a 9 just does not do this game justice.

StefanT.Mar 25, 2008best game I have played on PSP to date. Never thought I would like this type of game on PSP (normally have stuck to Sport games - soccer/baseball etc) but its a ton of fun and just hard enough to keep you engaged on normal level and has really great graphics and game play - feels like you are playing a game on Xbox 360 (almost).
-
-
BearLeeNov 11, 2009Amazing. One of the best games for the psp. The story never gets boring, the weapons are awesome, and the bad guys are so fun to rip apart. SO!!?? What are you waiting for? GET OFF YOUR SEAT AND BUY THIS GAME!!

Jun 15, 2011i love god of war. i just wanted to get that out of the way. i got this game not 1 day ago and it lags like nothing else. i mean it doesn't break the game or ruin the experience but its majorly distracting. but everything else is good!
-
Jan 10, 2013wow. another button masher. god of was, obviously, is a graphic, enemies and X button. Here we got average graphic, enemies and X button. Developers, please, use all buttons of this console. There is O left to X, really.

Jan 12, 2013A few minor errors but still a good game full of action and adventure. I don't really mind if there is no multi-player since i have the new PlayStation Portable. Defenetly worth the money.

Sep 28, 2013Todavía God of War es capaz de impresionarnos en la consola de PSP con la entrega "Chain of Olympus". En él se encuentra uno de los mejores finales en la historia de God of War, y aunque los gráficos no sean la gran cosa, ésta historia que no conocíamos sobre el oscuro pasado que atormenta a Kratos te mantendrá con lo ojos pegados a la pantalla de la PSP (no recomiendo jugarlo en PS3).

Jun 22, 2017Wow. And to think it's a handheld game. 10/10. I believe this game can easily be a triple A title no sweat. Amazing gameplay, great characters (I mean come on it's Kratos), beautiful graphics which is unbelievable on the PSP. Nice work Sony and SMS still got my heart. Great addition to the franchise and just an awesome awesome game.
-
Apr 28, 2018Great game for a portable console, keeps up with what the franchise has done previously and gets you to know deeply the protagonist
-
Jan 18, 2020The second worst God of War game. But a god of War game is at least always ok

Is it as good as the two PS2 God of War games? Not quite, but it's close. The fact that a PSP port of God of War can be this close to the legendary originals is amazing.
-
There are titles for every console that truly define the platform, and God of War: Chains of Olympus is one of those titles. Stunning graphics the likes of which we’ve never seen, an incredible soundtrack that rivals PS3/Xbox 360 titles, standout voice work, and gameplay that is on-par with the two previous PS2 titles makes this a must-own for any fan of the series.
-
The PSP hasn’t yet seen a game with this much polish, this much visual punch, or this much bloody satisfaction. Everything feels meaty, be it the clash of weapon on flesh or the substantial amount of gameplay depth and environmental design. Not only is Chains of Olympus a worthy addition to the God of War franchise, it also stands on its own as a triple-A title in the PSP library.
