    The sound design is incredible, with many varied tracks with authentic and unique sounding instruments that organically change depending on the on-screen action.

    God of War: Ghost of Sparta is the best game on the PSP, pushing the boundaries of a handheld device with breathtaking graphics, a striking story, and enough combat to keep your thumbs busy for many hours.

    Probably the best game available on Psp, Ghost of Sparta is a "real" God of War from every perspective, and a fantastic game that every fan of the series should not miss.

    Ghost of Sparta is beyond doubt the best action experience you can find on your PSP. Still, it feels like a small step back from the evolution of the saga achieved by the last HD chapter: puzzles section are completely useless and mechanics feel somehow old. A very good work, but not the masterpiece it could've been.

    God of War: Ghost of Sparta is probably the weakest entry in the franchise. It has a relatively unimpressive story, fairly unmemorable locations, toned-down enemies and lackluster upgrades. At its heart, it's still a God of War game, and it is still fun to play.

    If you buy one PSP title this year, Ghost of Sparta is a safe bet for the best game you're going to get.

    Sparta also unfortunately arrives in the same year as the PlayStation 3's God Of War III. No one expects as much bang-for-your-buck from a portable game as they would a console game, but for players who rode atop high-definition Titans only a few months ago, Sparta inevitably feels small and miserly.

Шикарная графика, разнообразные декорации, ураганный экшн с разнообразными враги разнообразным оружием, сюжет захватывающий, эпичный махач с богами - все атрибуты "взрослых" номерных частей на месте. Головоломок почти нет, а те, что есть, несложные, что я считаю плюсом, во главе геймплея стоит экшн. Эта часть получилась однозначно лучше Chains of Olympus и теперь одна из моих любимых в серии. Респект разработчикам, что смогли выпустить её на уже устаревшей на тот момент PSP и выжать из неё все соки, и хотя просадки фпс местами были довольно сильные, впечатление от этого не испортилось, игра стала самой красивой для консоли (проходил на PS Vita с разгоном 330/166). Рекомендую.… Expand

    Great god of war as a portable game. This game satisfies everyone who like the main series. Great variation of gameplay, but special powersGreat god of war as a portable game. This game satisfies everyone who like the main series. Great variation of gameplay, but special powers could've been better. Great (and typical gow combat), with intriguing story. The only negative (which was expected) was nothing mind-blowingly new or epic was introduced in this game. The ending which was very unique ended rather abruptly. But overall any gow fan would enjoy this game on the go.… Expand

    Ghost of Sparta is the best looking game i've played on the psp, i think it might even look better than GoW1 on the psp2.
    This game is definitely an improvement on Chains of Olympus on every level and it features one on of my favorites arsenal's for Kratos.
    Ghost of Sparta pushed the psp to its limits and its still impressive to this day, definitely a must play for any GoW fan
