God of War: Chains of Olympus:
Before he waged war on the gods...he was forced to serve them
The third game in the God of War franchise, God of War: Chains of
Olympus for PlayStation Portable is a prequel to the first two
games in the series published for PlayStation 2, and true the
high standards of God of War and God of War II, not only does it
equal the efforts of its predecessors, in some ways it may even
surpass them.
Kratos Story
The God of War franchise tells the tragic and violent story of
the warrior Kratos and his dealings with the gods. The ancient
world would eventually both praise and damn the infamous Ghost
of Sparta as the mortal who slayed a god, but long before his
battle with Ares, Kratos sought absolution from his past sins by
pledging himself as a champion to the gods. These brutal crusades
in the name of Olympus became legendary, but would have
far-reaching consequences. In Chains of Olympus Kratos is pushed
to the edge as he is ordered by the gods to journey to the very
depths of the underworld after the world plunges into darkness.
There he must face the most feared creatures of Greek mythology
and is forced to choose between his own personal redemption and
saving the ancient world from certain destruction. It is a choice
that will shake the immortals from their perches on Mt. Olympus.
God of War's Epic Gameplay Comes to the PSP
PlayStation Portable has always been head and shoulders above its
competitors in the handheld market when it comes to processing
power, and in God of War: Chains of Olympus the PSP platform may
just have reached its highest level to date. Packed with features
like dramatic camera angles, epic set pieces, cinematic cut
scenes, stirring audio and seamless fast action gameplay,
formerly only available on console platforms Chains of Olympus
binds players to the games epic adventure, regardless where they
are when they join in the action.
Combat Moves, Both Old and New
Nearly as defining as the name of Kratos itself, the trademark
sweeping attack moves of the Ghost of Sparta using his weapon
of choice the Blades of Chaos, epitomizes all God of War games
and Chains of Olympus is no exception.
Although overall the PSP has fewer buttons than the PlayStation 2
controller, developer Ready at Dawn Studios has managed to
incorporate nearly all of the attack moves and combination moves
from previous games in the series into this new project. This
continuity in gameplay not only provides a seamless intro into
the game for veteran players, but a gentle learning curve for
players new to the series. Add to this new brutal combat moves
and an additional upgradable weapon and you have a combat system
that will engage players at all levels.
Exploration and Puzzle Solving
From the bright gates of Attica to the darkest dungeons of
Tartarus, Kratos journey and your own will take you through the
dark and brutal world of Greek mythology. Here not only will your
skill with the Blades of Chaos be tested, but your wits as well.
As you explore the dangers of the ancient world, players must be
prepared to use their navigational skills as they press on
through labyrinths of challenging puzzles. Some may be simple
tests at manipulating the games environment to your advantage,
while others much more difficult also requiring precision timing
of moves, but each will be different and test you in new ways.
An Evolution in Franchise History
More than just a missing piece in the history of the God of War
franchise, Chains of Olympus also serves as an evolutionary link
between the origins of the God of War franchise and its future.
Originally developed for PlayStation 2, the future of the
franchise is slated to make its arrival on PlayStation 3 in the
form of the highly anticipated God of War III in the not too
distant future. Not only is PlayStation Portable designed to work
in unison with PlayStation 3 in many ways, but both long-time
fans and newcomers to the series who choose to watch and play
Chains of Olympus carefully may very well pick up clues as to the
direction the franchise will be heading in with God of War III.
Regardless, whether you find yourself playing for the current
chapter in Kratos saga or preparing yourself for the battles to
come on the PlayStation 3, God of War: Chains of Olympus is a
must have title for any current owner of a PSP or those consid
ering getting in the handheld game with one.
