God of War Chains of Olympus

Kratos is back and angrier than ever in this PSP prequel to the popular action adventure series.

Watch our launch center for the latest news, previews, and our review.

Review

Although it feels a bit like God of War: Lite, Chains of Olympus delivers a great, combat-heavy adventure with excellent production values.

    This game is amasingly fun but if ur a experianced gamer its too easy (on god mode) its too short , and no replay value.

    I finished it today and it was amazing! Chains of Olympus is EPIC! I've played all God of War games and this one is a "lite" version, but that still means it's great. You need to get this game, because this is the standard we should demand of every game that is supposed to be EPIC! I'm waiting for Kratos return on the PS3 *drool*
