Size Matters

Everything in this game is BIG. From the boards to the enemy bosses to the challenges (while engulfed in gore,) your fighting to survive on a mission from the gods to do their bidding. A slave to his masters, Kratos or The Ghost of Sparta must free Helios the sun god from the evil clutches of Morpheus whos obviously not a very nice person. Ride the Sun Chariots of Helios and earn your way through massive beautiful levels as you travel through citys and mountains until finally reaching the dreaded Hades. Earn new spells and gain new attacks with your good ol’ Blades of Chaos or punch through your enemies face when you finally gain access to The Guantlet of Zeus. Many surprise twists and familiar faces await your approval in this story of good gods gone bad vs. the rebel slave.

Graphics and Gameplay:

I was impressed with the amount of story they had in this game. The graphics look just as good if not better than the PS2, and they fit lots of cut scenes in there. The controls are on point and combos are easy to execute and believe me you’ll need it. The only problem I had was how much the game slows down during big fight scenes with a lot of enemies. It can be really frustrating when your surrounded and the games going in slow motion. Other than the slow motion moments I have no complaints and couldn’t put this game down.

Challenges and Extras:

There are four different levels of difficulty: Mortal, Hero, Spartan, and God which is borderline impossible. Play through the different levels of difficulty to unlock certain extras. The extras are o.k. but nothing great. You can earn new outfits to play through the first three difficulties with, but you can’t use anything on God Mode. Let me just say, if you are planning on playing God Mode be ready to pad your walls with pillow or something soft. You wouldn’t wanna break your PSP would you?

Unlock the Challenge of Hades which is a five level bloodbath pretty much. Its challenges consist of one room to dodge duck and weave between the bad guys using only spells, or not getting hit once, or killing everything without running out of time… you get the idea.

You can also unlock all the games movies and image galleries. All in all I’d say this game is worth a buy. If your not satisfied with the normal difficulties or the extras then you could always play it on God Mode. You’ll get your moneys worth because you’ll be playing it until your in your 70′s… because it’s not possible to beat… unless your… a god.
