God Of War: Chians of Olympus

This is probably the best hand held game to date (on the PSP at least). Wonderfully smooth graphics and camera angles, great story line and most of all really cool game-play. Another thing to rave about is that the cinematics blend in with the game-play upon transition, which translates into excelent game-play consistency.

The game is based on classical greek mythology of gods and godesses. You play the character Cratos, a spartan who is enslaved to the gods of Greece but endowed with magical abilities and amazing stamina. Your goal is to free yourself of the god's enslavery by fighting for their cause. In this case, by finding out who set free one of the Titans (the god's immortal counterparts) to avoid their takeover and possible reign over the world. You would have to fight mythological beings like medussas, cyclopses (a lot of cyclops), minotaures and other creatures.

The controls are easy to figure out and very user friendly. The character moves vary from jumping, fighting, climbing, carrying, swimming and opening gates. Although the moves are very simple, the game environment gives Cratos more character because of the amazing camera angles and smooth graphics. The guys at Sony really did a great job in making this game, Kudos!

I wouldn't have much to say for this game anymore, but for you to make sure that your PSP is running on firmware version 3.97 of higher (4.01, the latest version).
