Bloody Good!

Ah, Greek mythology. An endless well of public domain stories and characters that are perfect fodder for writers, movie makers and video game designers. It is to the credit of this game series that, rather than tell the stories of Perseus,Herakles or Theseus, they instead made up Kratos, in all his bloody, chain-blade weilding glory.

I've played God of War PS2 and enjoyed it immensely. I haven't played the sequel yet, but I'm sure I will. In the meantime, this PSP version of the game is a more-than-adequette substitute.

The game is a prequel to the other two in the series. You play a tiny Kratos, running around eviscerating everyone that gets in your path. You also manage to find time for a little lovin' with some naked ladies, as was the style of the time (interestingly, Kratos never seems to hook up with any boys, as was also the style of the time).

The game looks and plays incredibly well. The graphics are as close to a PS2 as anything you'll see on the PSP, and the controls work well on the smaller console. No complaints there.

Ultimately this game is to video games what 300 (Two-Disc Special Edition) is to movies; a bloody, rolicking, good-time mess with about as much connection to real history as The Da Vinci Code.

Vastly entertaining and a great game to play!
