I just finished playing God of War: Chains of Olympus. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I don’t have much of a review on this one, there isn’t much to say.
It’s a God of War game, mostly true to the formula. If the God of War franchise wasn’t so good, I could say it’s just a God of War game, but that’s not really a bad thing. It doesn’t feel as grand as the previous two, missing the amazing scripted boss battles… except for one at the start of the game. The script fits in well with what I remember of the previous games (considering this is a prequel). The graphics are very impressive for a PSP game. There are one or two little rendering errors through the game of in the distance, but for the most part it looks like God of War II did. The sound is good, the voice acting is (mostly) good. The controls work fine, no complaints there.
It’s God of War, only a little smaller. It was a fun game, I’m glad I played it. At $40 it’s not bad. Once the price drops a little, it’s definitely something to pick-up.
