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 game’s 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 game’s 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 considering getting in the handheld game with one.
