The editors liked

  • Incredible technically
  • More God of War goodness
  • Loads of combat
  • Runs beautifully
  • Looks amazing for a PSP game
  • All the brutal fun you'd expect from a GoW title
  • Bloody as all hell
  • Prequel to the PS2 God Of War games
  • You get to find a few more details into Kratos life and gives you a bit of some back log story that helps explain God of War and God of War II

The editors didn't like

  • Lack of adventuring aspects
  • Unskippable cutscenes
  • Awkward dodging controls
  • Kind of short for a God of War
  • Not the longest PSP game but still the best.

  • Combat system is among the finest in a handheld game; great weapons; stellar visuals and art design; high replay value.
  • Some frustrating puzzle and combat sections; good but not great story; hardcore gamers will find it too short.
  • The acclaimed God of War series is leaping from PS2 to handheld, and it might be easy to write off Ready at Dawns God of War: Chains of Olympus as merely "Kratos on PSP." Thats not a totally unfair comparison, but it doesnt do the new game justice. ...

  • It retains all of the epic awesomeness of the first two God of War titles. Dont think for a second that just because its on the PSP, its any less amazing. The graphics are fantastic. Even though the PSP screen features less real estate, the game sti...
  • There isnt a great variety to the enemies. This also means that there arent as many "fatality" sequences either. Everything feels just a little narrower in scope. While the game is still epic, it isnt as long nor is it as far-reaching as the previou...
  • Chains is a worthy addition to the franchise. While we want nothing more than to continue on with Kratos journey towards the top of Mount Olympus and his final battle with Zeus, we were more than happy to take a short detour along the way and spend ti...
