the gods are pleased

User Rating: 9.5 | God of War: Chains of Olympus PSP
kratos cuts, slashes, gores, and brutalizes his way to the PSP with nothing short of greatness. Many are reviewing this game to be great, but to short. Granted this is true, but keep in mind IT IS a P O R T A B L E game. We would have all loved this to be the next great epic god of war adventure that we are thirsting for, but in all reality it is an appetizer for what is to come in GoW3. So, with that aside despite the length of this game, it is still a GREAT game. The level of gore we all know and love remains, the combos are still brutal, there is new magic to decimate your foes, and the level design blew me away for a portable game. The story line is a little less than par for a GoW game, but NOT at all bad. So to sum it up, God of War CoO is like a fine wine, take it down in sips, not huge gulps or it will be gone and done before you know it. (but also like any good booze, one good turn deserves another. so play it again on a harder diff level if the length is a problem for you.)
