Short Short Short
This is the thing I bought this game via the previous one and the storyline is so boring and is utter rubbish and I completed the entire game within 12 HOURS thats right. It's so short and easy, it's amazing to play don't get me wrong but it's not worth paying for it if your getting a couple hours of exitment. The graphics are average and you get new abilites and one new weapon - Slow but Powerful - The only troubling thing was the Underworld when you have to jump over the massive gaps and you keep dying so Hint* Go well far baack and sprint to the point where you jump ( It took me 2 hours to get past one part ) and the boss is so easy and again the ending of the storyline is terrible

god of war psp
ive played both on the ps2 and i got this two days ago for my new psp3000 and was amazed by how much it looks and feels like i was playing it on a ps2. its pure gow with puzzles and power ups and gore graphics are excellent for a portable console,. its got a good story but no ares so you dont hear him shout ARREESSSSS!!! PICK THIS GAME UP CHEAP THOUGH AS I DID FINISH IT IN A DAY but i had an amazing experience doing so fingers crossed they bring out another cause i really enjoyed it. psp has some camera issues on some games but on gow it controls the camera for you (nice) makes a big difference not having to use the d-pad for the camera made me enjoy it more 4/5 cause while its over all to soon its amazing to play and thats what games are about fun fun fun

The best game for PSP
i agree with another reviewer who said that this game = tomb raider + tekken + greek mythology,
it is definitely the best psp game.
the graphics is superb and exploits all the power of the psp.
the gameplay is perfect.
there are frenetic actions with battles and fights, followed up by scenes in which you must think to find an escape route.
I wait future versions of this game

Fantastic Game 10/10
Brilliant graphics, good storyline, loved the monsters, lots of unlockables, and mini games. The only thing is that it was too short, I completed it in abouit 6 hours. But well worth it. Would recommend it to anyone. Callum Maxwell (age 10)

Absolutely Amazing
I am not exactly what you might class as a gamer, having bought my PSP to watch video's et al on the train when I was travelling home on a daily London commute. In a moment of madness I purchased this game and apart from a somewhat child like (it is a game) storyline, I have found it incredibly good. The graphics are smooth and very detailed and unlike true gamers, I found it a real challenge to complete.

Is it good, well if you want the opinion of 1 53 year old who normally the greatest game challenge is how to avoid countdown, this is the dogs - even the sound track is compelling. I doubt if I would buy a sequel, or even another game like this, but it has been tremendous fun and I can only recommend it.
