A brief look at one of the hottest PSP video games - God of War : Chains of Olympus

Chains of Olympus sees the violent god-like Kratos character returning to the fray. Set as a precursor to the God of War II for the Playstation2, the game is set at the midpoint through Kratos' 10 year tenure to the Gods. Highly appreciated by both loyal fans and critics for the game's superb imagery and gameplay, the game never produces a lifeless moment throughout its edgy story line.

Gameplay :
In God of War, Kratos, after being duped into slaughtering his wife and child commits himself to the service of the gods for many years to follow. The God of War series has Kratos, already halfway thru his service, being directed to the traditional town of Attica, to help protect the city from the maruding Persian army. Upon beating the Persian King, the sun all of a sudden goes down. With the entire world dropped into darkness and the gods ending up defenseless, Kratos must now set out on a path to restore Helios back to the sky to keep his promise to the gods. In order to succeed he must now face some of the most scary creatures of Greek mythology and then was faced with the great quandary of selecting between his very own redemption and saving the whole traditional world from eradication.

The game is a third person action adventure with battles, with the player having the ability to play the lead figure, Kratos. The game features four boss fights in all : the basilisk, Charon, Persephone and the Persian king. Not very much has changed for the Psp version of the popular God of War series. Kratos still has his basic weapons and collects red orbs to power up his abilities.

Features :
- Classic gameplay has you fighting characters from ancient Greek mythology, in an environment never before seen on a Psp.
- Detailed graphics with epic set pieces and dramatic camera angles.
- The game comes with lots of new combat action. The game retains the same controls as that of the Playstation2 but also gets use from the shoulder buttons and the analog switch.
- Puzzles : As Kratos moves through the traditional world in his quest, he should pass through a labyrinth of challenging box style puzzles and QuickTime events, deftly woven into the game.
- Exploration : As Kratos, get to explore the dark world of traditional Greek myths. Navigate the savage world right from the Gates of Hades to the darkest Depths of Tartarus.
- Boss battles : Confront your opposition and be ready for some of the toughest boss battles with your strongest opponents.
- Unique and savage weapons including sorcery spells, shields and the trademark Blades of Chaos.
- Prize-winning Franchise : The game received several prizes including the best game of the year 2008 by hard case GameFAN. The game received a near perfect score from all the top review websites.
- Exclusive Ready at Dawn gaming engine

Verdict :
Breaking clear of the well known style of games for handhelds, Ready at Dawn has managed to form a game with amazing imagery and a great storyline. Though the missing multiplayer mode could displease some, the game still is able to impress because of the diverse other features such as the camera angles and built in puzzles. The game is an absolute must buy for any Psp gamer.
