SynopsisNightmares are tormenting Kratos. He has journeyed to the gates of Hades and back and battled terrifyingly inhuman creatures. Now he faces something even more horrific — the ghosts of his past. Embark on a journey as Kratos into brutal ancient landscapes, merciless battlefields and mysterious lost worlds as you fight to reveal your origins. Grotesque, larger-than-life monsters attack from every angle as you plunge into a dangerous world. You take the deadly chained Blades of Athena into your strong, god-descended arms and swing as you destroy one, two, three and four screeching, wrath-filled monsters. The grit and gore of an intense battle surrounds you, but you press on through body after body — you must discover the key to your past in order to have a future. The secrets of the past become the peril of the present in the continuation of Kratos' momentous mythological saga. In God of War: Ghost of Sparta, sweeping battles against legions of the undead and armies of monsters expand out of your PSP screen and into your world using revolutionary 3D gaming technology. Terrors and wonders of the ancient world are alive in vivid detail in the most spectacular visual display ever to be held in your hands. Pre-order God of War: Ghost of Sparta and receive an exclusive DLC pack at launch that includes a unique theme for your PSP, an exclusive Kratos PlayStation Network Avatar only available through this pre-order, an in-game Legionnaire skin, a Ghost of Sparta original soundtrack and an exclusive documentary featuring a round table discussion with all the past and present God of War game directors. Do you have the strength to wield new weapons, unleash magic, master complex combat moves and discover the Ghost of Sparta? This time, it's not just a legend — the lost worlds you discover will truly take over your own.

What's great about it: Great storyline, great graphics
What's not so great: Nothing, excellent game
if you have never played god of war it will be hard for you to appreciate this game like the hardcore gamers do. But is still a game that not many cannot pick up and appreciate the exceptional graphics and intriguing storyline behind it. The standard controls are not hard to do for example moving kratos and hard and medium attacks however, more complex attacks are a little harder to do and take some practice. overall I would give the game a 8 with the exceptional graphics, intriguing storyline, high replayability and decent controls considering the psp only has 1 analog stick. Give it a try a definite must play
This product has... Like to replay, Excessive violence

What's great about it: graphics, story, gameplay
What's not so great: on PSP only
Having played and loved Chains of Olympus on PSP, this was a must buy for me. After finishing the game once colleting as many upgrades as possible (~10-12h) and attempting the challenge modes afterwards, this is what I thought.
***********PROS***********
ORIGINAL GOD OF WAR EXPERIENCE EXPANDED ON PSP: Yes that means Kratos punishing enemies in the most brutal way possible with his chain blades, climbing/jumping type of platforming and plenty of exploration in ancient greek/roman landscape. This game truly delivers nearly the same experience as on PS2/PS3 God of War games. Quite impressed.
GREAT ARTWORK, ANIMATION AND GRAPHICS: The game looks even better than previous PSP God of war game. I truly can’t believe we live in an era where we can enjoy such graphics on a handheld device. Truly astonishing. Also, this game contains very elegantly designed characters, carefully crafted structures and sophistically designed levels. It truly lives up to expectation.
HECK&SLASH GAMEPLAY: Just like in previous PSP God of War, you will be able to pull wide range of combos using dual blades and other weapons. Compare to previous game you have access to more moves. Proper use of these combos will punish your foes in most ruthless manner and will give you bonus orbs (for upgrades) while simply button-mashing will get you killed easily. While the combat is not as strategic as say Devil May Cry games, it still delivers.
WEAPONS, MAGICS AND MORE: As you progress through game in addition to your dual chain blades, you will get access to some unique godly gears and devastating magical powers. Fortunately, these new tools of destruction are not simple rip off from previous god of war games, rather they are quite distinctive entities that when used right can overwhelm your foes or overcome indomitable obstructions. Some of them are quite fun to use.
UPGRADES: Just like previous God of War games, you can upgrade your blades, new weapons and magics giving this game an RPG element. Upgrading your blades unlocks powerful new moves through which you can improve your combos and punish your enemies better while upgrading your magic will give you an edge in battles that would be too difficult otherwise. These upgrades also encourage you to explore each and every corners of the game and do better in battles to get more orbs making the game all the more enjoyable.
GREAT STORY: Previous PSP God of War set up a huge bar in terms of story and I am happy to say the story for this game is even better than previous game. The story takes place between God of War 1 and 2. It has decent amount of twist in it and help you explain many thing that are not explained in God of War 2 and 3. Unfortunately, I can’t describe much without spoiling it.
VERY CINEMATIC: This game has some cutscenes that can go head to head with PS2 God of War games. Cutscenes, nicely designed by animators and carefully performed by voice actors, add great depth and drama to the story. Again can’t describe much, but the cut scenes towards the end are simply magnificent.
LONGER CAMPAIGN: Very happy to see it has longer campaign than previous PSP God of War. One thing I minded in previous game. So happy they improved it.
UNLOCKABLES: You can unlock Trials and art/video gallery after finishing the game. Trials provide you with challenges and adds length to the gameplay experience. Competing these trials and finishing the game on harder modes unlocks more just like previous god of war games.
*************CONS.*************
LAST BOSS BATTLE AND ENDING: It was pretty good, but I guess, I enjoyed the game so much, I had higher expectation for last boss battle. Don’t get me wrong, it was epic, but I wish it was longer and had some punches and depth to it. Same with the ending. It was good and appropriate, but I wish there was more to it.
**************CONCLUSION************
Chains of Olympus established great standards for God of War on PSP and Ghost of Sparta took the experience to the next level. So no complains here. If you like God of War than this game is a must buy for you. This is an experience you must not miss.

What's great about it: It's bloody, gory, and rlly fun to play. (Like all the other GOW titles)
What's not so great: Short game.
I'll start out by saying that I LOVE this game. The action is amazing, the finishers are bloody and brutal, the challenge is pretty good and the graphics really must push the PSP to it's limits. The only problem is the game's length cuz I beat the game in merely 2 days. The fun really makes up for it's length so I'd still get this if I were you!

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: That it eventually comes to an end.
I thought this game was great from start to finish. It is not much different from what you have played in other GOW titles but if it ain't broke then you don't fix it. Graphics are amazing for the PSP. It kind of blows away the PS2 games. It is much longer than Chain of Olympus and it has a ton of unlockables to have you going back for more. The story fits well into the GOW series and helps you to understand Kratos anger problem.

What's not so great: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! *STELLAR GAME!*
THIS GAME IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE TWO BEST GAMES ON PSP! THE OTHER ONE IS METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER. THIS GAME IS SERIOUSLY ON THE SAME LEVEL OR STANDARD OF A PS3 TITLE GAME. THIS WAS LOADS OF FUN TO PLAY! GRAPHICS ARE MINDBLOWING TO SEE ON A PSP. A DEFINITE MUST HAVE FOR ANY PSP OWNER!
