I don't know about you guys but I'm totally stoked for this one! Recently it was announced that God of War: Chains of Olympus has gone gold - that means it has started publishing and is ready for shipping. Reviews are already up on Gamepro, IGN, GameZone and 1UP - they have given it very high scores and call it 'the best looking and playing game on the system'. The reviewers have talked highly of the control scheme which was a cause of concern among GoW fans as the PSP has fewer buttons as compared to a PS2 joystick. They have also praised the high quality of presentation and gameplay but criticized the short storyline (~7-8 hours) and small number of boss fights. The average score awarded is 9.5/10 - making it the highest rated PSP game. Reviewers have called it an accurate translation of the other games in the franchise but with a unique and compelling story to go along. Although nothing innovative or new has been added to the gameplay mechanics, the developer has done a great job in translating the epic God of War game feel to a handheld device.

I have not been lucky enough to get my hands on the demos that have been released but that makes me all the more excited to play this game. I am a little bummed by the fact the game has a short storyline but considering the capacity of the PSP and how the game looks - I don't think I will be complaining for long. Plus, the reviewers have also stated that the game contains lots of unlockable content and one particular reviewer managed to clock 25+ hours - so, I guess that speaks for the replayability and immersiveness of the game.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like dead_rose.
dead_rose must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could dead_rose possibly have for not rating a single film?
