Brilliant review and yes, I’m 2024, this game still holds up beautifully. Thank you, Ready at Dawn Studios, for making the only game I’ve beaten over thirty times. I’m not kidding. I love it that much.
One of the best games for the PSP system! Great graphics (it has not been surpassed yet) and nice gameplay. Also nice weapons and upgrades :D The only thing is it's pretty short :(
The fact that the lack of L2, R2 and right analog stick didn't hinder it and they didn't compromise at all on a portal system is awesome. They decided that since they were working with pretty much PS2 hardware they would make it pretty much a PS2 experience. Too few handheld versions of games do that.
Awesome, I've been hoping for a review of this one. These past few days I've been wondering if I should buy God of War Chains of Olympus or MGS:PO+ for my PSP.
Just finished this on the PS3, it looks absolutely amazing. Ghost Of Sparta looked a little more sharper than Chains soo i'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like too (y)
Thanks a lot, man! I'm pretty sure i've seen it on the PSN for the Vita, and if they do, then I'll purchase it today! Again, thanks for the help! I appreciate it!
Awesome review, too bad I'll probably never play this game though. I really don't plan on buying a PSP, I have no interest in hand held systems. Mark, if you plan on reviewing God of War 1 and 2 soon, wait until next month. The God of War Collection will be released on PS3, which is those two games and it will support 720p video.
This game was awesome! and Ghost of Sparta was somehow even better! I cannot wait for the God of War Aga Collection that has Chains of olympus, Ghost of Sparta, God of War, God of war 2 and God of war 3! cannot wait.
I never played this game, but it sure looks interesting due to the fighting and sex, Krattos is pretty much his own boss and can kick anyone's ass.. I like that joke you said "Krato kicks ass but also has some ass on the side" Good one brother..Thanks for the review and i hope to see more of you..God bless...
Thanks for the response! Looks like i won't be getting this. Maybe sometime in the future, but it's just a weird concept for a game for me. I still want a GoW title on my Vita, so do you know if Ghost of Sparta's sex scenes are optional?
I heard theres going to be a HD remake of GOW Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus for the PS3, i have to get that (and gow collections). Speaking of clash of the titans, i use to watch that movie with my dad all the time when i was younger, great movie.
i played crisis core and i like it a lot..very good story and the graphics are nice..it´s getting very difficult to the end but it´s really a must have =)
I was thinking the same thing and I was about to ask if there's any chance of a ps3 port of this game. I loved the ps2 ports of the grandtheft auto psp games and syphon filter:dark mirror so I do like the psp games I just don't like playing on such a small screen.
PLEASE Mr. Classic Games Room....you MUST review Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2. It's like GoW but a million times better. I actually can't believe you haven't reviewed SotC yet. It's legendary!
No one in their right mind would compare the Xbox360 and PS3 to a portable handheld like a PSP. Its a no brainer that the PSP would lose in every aspect except for portability. Sure it sucks to you but for PSP players this game is as good as it gets definitely one of the best titles for the PSP.
Best game for psp right next to ghost of sparta. The story, action, and gameplay are all great. I was fortunate enough to pick it up for six bucks. The case sucked, but the game itself is my favorite.
they sell component cables for the PSP. Easy $20. They can easily connect to any TV. The cord is long to so its worth it. And it pays off. Ive played that, ROCKBAND: Unplugged, Syphon Filter, and others. Check out CGR's PSP review.
i see Kratos going on a rampage while in an anger management session. possibly taking it out on the psychologist or just a bunch of pillows and furniture.
I'm in the 9th grade..... I sit in the back and the teacher can't see the PSP, the only time I don't play it is when we do labs and take tests...... the best time is when the class is watching a video cuz she's not paying attention :)
The only real complaint I have with this game is the length. I honestly beat it in one sitting....granted it was over the summer and there wasn't anything else to do. But still, it isn't very long, and by the end of the game you WILL have everything at its max level so I thought it sort of dumbed down the difficulty and point behind picking what things to spend your orbs on. Great game, I'd give it 4.5/5 simply because of those minor things.
Ya but i doubt il ever get a PSP. I don't really need one :P. But seriously, when was the last time Ive seen a friend or classmate at my high school bring a PSP? Freshman year. That was two years ago :P.
This and Daxter are the two PSP games I desperately hoped would get PS2 ports, but never did. They're marvelous titles, but I just don't see the benefit of having an epic thing like GOW on a tiny little screen. Alright you can plug it into a TV potentially, but even that leaves you with the slightly iffy analog nub. Oh, to play it with a DualShock...
haha, I respect the GameBoy, But im not going to play it over the psp because its old. GameBoy 'Was' great now psp reigns supreme and its time we all embrace the change, its time for something new, and damn is it ever sweet.
Great game, I only had one problem with it. The costumes sucked bad. They hardly had any if I remember correctly, I played it a few times then gave it to a friend to try it out. I might have to borrow it back to play it once more.
PSP Pros: Nearly or as powerful as the PS2. Good library of games. Able to handle games with high end graphics such as GoW. Cons:Not much of a library to begin with. Graphics aren't everything. DS Pros: Large libray of fun games. Proves that Graphics aren't everything. Innovative. STILL is able to produce some amazing looking 2D and sometimes 3D games, or a mixmatch of both. Cons: Not as well made as the PSP in my opinion. For those of you thinking the DS is for kids, you are mistaken.
Not only because of the price difference. But because we're getting more bang for our buck. There is a larger library of games to choose from. I used to play this rip off of advance wars on my friend's PSP. Field Commander I think. It was ok. Speaking of his PSP, you know what we did with it? We put it on a wooden stand on the 3rd floor outside his backyard, and shot at it with a BB M14 and BB M16A4, because it wasn't working. High quality glass, it didn't shatter. There are like layers of it
Yes it is. Although it doesent have the tech to back it up, it is in my opinion done so purposely because Nintendo goes by the term of graphics dont mean gameplay. The Wii and DS prove that.
Actually I have both. I have Metal Gear Solid Portable ops on PSP and it really pisses me off to not be able to play it on a bigger screen and with a comfortable screen. I wish that Konami would put out their sub-major metal gear franchise games (Portable Ops and Peacewalker) on the ps3. Hell I would even prefer it on the PS2
I haven't played CoO, so take this with a grain of salt, but I hear it had a few other problems, mostly with it being waay too short. Haven't played it myself, so I could be wrong.
"Not only does he kick ass, he gets ass on the side"
Legend.
💔 I miss Classic Game Room. At the time that this video was published RUclips was a better place for RUclipsrs and I would watch CGR religiously.
Brilliant review and yes, I’m 2024, this game still holds up beautifully. Thank you, Ready at Dawn Studios, for making the only game I’ve beaten over thirty times. I’m not kidding. I love it that much.
Kratos has the best voice in a video game EVER!
one of the best game series in my opnion, good and funny review as always.
One of the best games for the PSP system! Great graphics (it has not been surpassed yet) and nice gameplay. Also nice weapons and upgrades :D
The only thing is it's pretty short :(

Wow they really did an amazing remaster for the PS3!
Clash of the Titans was 1981, my dad told me ;)
This was a very good game. Made me buy a PSP to play it. I actually liked the control scheme for this one over the PS2 games.
one of my favorite games.....still play it, if you don't have this game and GT psp for the PSP, you must have them.
Gotta love those epic finisher combos
Great review. This game looks awesome.
Looking forward to your reviews of GOW1 and 2 on the PS2.
zero button?
just today i though why cgrhd didn't review god of war and here it is a review
Great game, loved it from start to finish. Some of the QTEs were pretty difficult though.
I played the demo version of this, it's amazing! Can't wait to buy this when I get money!
just ordered this, my first ever GOW game !!!
Awesome, I've been hoping for a review of this one.
These past few days I've been wondering if I should buy God of War Chains of Olympus or MGS:PO+ for my PSP.
Just finished this on the PS3, it looks absolutely amazing. Ghost Of Sparta looked a little more sharper than Chains soo i'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like too (y)
Thanks a lot, man! I'm pretty sure i've seen it on the PSN for the Vita, and if they do, then I'll purchase it today! Again, thanks for the help! I appreciate it!

Mark, if you plan on reviewing God of War 1 and 2 soon, wait until next month. The God of War Collection will be released on PS3, which is those two games and it will support 720p video.
Mark you should review the remastered version of the God of War collection which includes God of War 1 and 2 in HD for the PS3 when that comes out
this is probably my favorite psp game kick ass
This game was awesome! and Ghost of Sparta was somehow even better! I cannot wait for the God of War Aga Collection that has Chains of olympus, Ghost of Sparta, God of War, God of war 2 and God of war 3! cannot wait.

God of War is fantastic. One of the best PSP games that is.
man he needs to review brutal legend, its fucking awesome.
When did this game come out?
*hugs* i know how you feel in 2005 time splitters was my life too
Awesome review.
wow those are some great graphics for a portable game system, shows how much ive played a psp lol. game looks sick though 5 stars
I just played the demo of this before, it's great! And only £10 in my local Gamestation :)
Thanks for the response! Looks like i won't be getting this. Maybe sometime in the future, but it's just a weird concept for a game for me. I still want a GoW title on my Vita, so do you know if Ghost of Sparta's sex scenes are optional?
great review :o
I heard theres going to be a HD remake of GOW Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus for the PS3, i have to get that (and gow collections). Speaking of clash of the titans, i use to watch that movie with my dad all the time when i was younger, great movie.
i played crisis core and i like it a lot..very good story and the graphics are nice..it´s getting very difficult to the end but it´s really a must have =)
totally this game is the pinnacle of PSP brilliance
nice review!
Have you play Final Fantasy:Crisis Core
I heard that is also very good and a must have for the psp
LOL. I played Ace Combat in Music 115. I was bombing an airbase and taking out aces while she was demonstrating Bach's compositions.
This is the best game i`ve played on the psp
I was thinking the same thing and I was about to ask if there's any chance of a ps3 port of this game. I loved the ps2 ports of the grandtheft auto psp games and syphon filter:dark mirror so I do like the psp games I just don't like playing on such a small screen.
Should I get a PSP or PS3? I really want a handheld and I already have a Xbox 360 I would only get a PS3 for killzone 2 and uncharted 2
one of the best graficly looking game on PSP
PLEASE Mr. Classic Games Room....you MUST review Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2. It's like GoW but a million times better.
I actually can't believe you haven't reviewed SotC yet. It's legendary!
2 days? dayuum... it dook me less than 8 hours..but its an AWESOME game I recommended it!
u should do a review for god of war 3 or if you already have just tell me
let's not forget the atari 2600 side scroller Pitfall!....many years before both of those.
This was the first p2p game I've ever played. I ripped through it in like half a day,
this is a PSP game? Graphics is amazing and the 3d game play is very impressive. Didn't know the PSP was this powerful.
Very true. It's just a shame that one of the four has to miss out, and settle for being almost perfect. A somewhat petty complaint, but there you go.
Yes because when I see a video game sex scene I say "Hey now... That's RAD."
Hey, you should review gta chinatown wars psp. One of the highest reviewed portable games of all time
No one in their right mind would compare the Xbox360 and PS3 to a portable handheld like a PSP. Its a no brainer that the PSP would lose in every aspect except for portability.
Sure it sucks to you but for PSP players this game is as good as it gets definitely one of the best titles for the PSP.
Am I the only one that thinks Kratos looks like an Asian guy in this GOW?
why that profile?
***** git a leife
***** ah ok since you put it like that
sí señor ayy carambita
yuca yuca yuca
this isn't my native language
Best game for psp right next to ghost of sparta. The story, action, and gameplay are all great. I was fortunate enough to pick it up for six bucks. The case sucked, but the game itself is my favorite.
Oh yes, Kratos, the fun loving, peaceful spartan, who settles his differences by talking out his problems.
I would really hope this game comes out on ps3 eventually, I would love to play this game but I just don't see myself buying a psp
idk.... if i should download this now or wait till dante's inferno comes out and download that...Only need one GOW styled game
might go with dante
I just got my copy the other day for 3 whole dollars.
the dpad is called the dpad because it stands for Defect-pad
Dreamcast Graphics on a handheld. Awesome
Hey, the control's probably better, but there are 2 (soon to be 3) other GoW games for that :)
how do you make the arow when you fith that giant cat
they sell component cables for the PSP. Easy $20. They can easily connect to any TV. The cord is long to so its worth it. And it pays off. Ive played that, ROCKBAND: Unplugged, Syphon Filter, and others. Check out CGR's PSP review.
i see Kratos going on a rampage while in an anger management session. possibly taking it out on the psychologist or just a bunch of pillows and furniture.
lmfao!!! not only does he kick ass but likes some on the side! thats a good one
this is my first god of war game and it awesome
I'm in the 9th grade..... I sit in the back and the teacher can't see the PSP, the only time I don't play it is when we do labs and take tests...... the best time is when the class is watching a video cuz she's not paying attention :)
does someone always dies at the end of each video? :D
god of war is a great serie of games
True, but playing with a DualShock beats the PSP's control setup any day in my book.
you should do a review or Part 1 and 2.
What do U mean? If i understood It comes from the PS2 first time it came out ;)
The only real complaint I have with this game is the length. I honestly beat it in one sitting....granted it was over the summer and there wasn't anything else to do. But still, it isn't very long, and by the end of the game you WILL have everything at its max level so I thought it sort of dumbed down the difficulty and point behind picking what things to spend your orbs on.
Great game, I'd give it 4.5/5 simply because of those minor things.
His name is Mark!! and I totally agree.
Ya but i doubt il ever get a PSP. I don't really need one :P. But seriously, when was the last time Ive seen a friend or classmate at my high school bring a PSP? Freshman year. That was two years ago :P.
Not enough people appreciate the mechanical owl in Clash of the Titans...
I cant wait till God of War 3 comes out
This and Daxter are the two PSP games I desperately hoped would get PS2 ports, but never did. They're marvelous titles, but I just don't see the benefit of having an epic thing like GOW on a tiny little screen. Alright you can plug it into a TV potentially, but even that leaves you with the slightly iffy analog nub. Oh, to play it with a DualShock...
haha, I respect the GameBoy, But im not going to play it over the psp because its old. GameBoy 'Was' great now psp reigns supreme and its time we all embrace the change, its time for something new, and damn is it ever sweet.
Of course! You literally rip people in half with your bare hands!
mechanical owl, as in sly cooper?
Great game, I only had one problem with it. The costumes sucked bad. They hardly had any if I remember correctly, I played it a few times then gave it to a friend to try it out. I might have to borrow it back to play it once more.
PSP Pros: Nearly or as powerful as the PS2.
Good library of games.
Able to handle games with high end graphics such as GoW.
Cons:Not much of a library to begin with.
Graphics aren't everything.
DS Pros: Large libray of fun games.
Proves that Graphics aren't everything.
Innovative.
STILL is able to produce some amazing looking 2D and sometimes 3D games, or a mixmatch of both.
Cons: Not as well made as the PSP in my opinion.
For those of you thinking the DS is for kids, you are mistaken.

There are like layers of it
I mean Rygar: The Legendary Adventure for the PS2 that came out in 2002 not the NES version
Hey Hey NICE START!!!!!!!!
my bad, i fail to mention burnout. yes, burnout is also a mush have....
Yes it is. Although it doesent have the tech to back it up, it is in my opinion done so purposely because Nintendo goes by the term of graphics dont mean gameplay. The Wii and DS prove that.
by a lil bit but i think the pricepoint should set u down nt the screen size
I always fail at the QTE because I'm an Xbox gamer. So I get the buttons mixed up xD
and I was talking about the DS for the bang for our buck part.
actually David Jaffe said the inspiration came from Rygar and Ico.
god of war is the best game I ever played.,.,
probebly gonna get a psp...just for this game
Actually I have both. I have Metal Gear Solid Portable ops on PSP and it really pisses me off to not be able to play it on a bigger screen and with a comfortable screen. I wish that Konami would put out their sub-major metal gear franchise games (Portable Ops and Peacewalker) on the ps3. Hell I would even prefer it on the PS2
I haven't played CoO, so take this with a grain of salt, but I hear it had a few other problems, mostly with it being waay too short. Haven't played it myself, so I could be wrong.
You should reveiw Ghost of Sparta
