[PSP] God of War: Olympus


Recommended Posts

Some people already have their copies by now and I am looking for impressions so far. I should have mine by tonight but won't have much time to play it until mid-Friday or so.

I am liking this game. The cut scenes of Crisis Core > God of War in my opinion.

I have already finished about 3/4th of the game. The analog stick of PSP sucks sadly and my thumb is paining a lot after playing this game constantly for 3 continuous hours.

Gonna finish the game tomorrow :)

I started playing it last night as well. This game is awesome. It's the first GOW game I've played, so I'm new to the series. The game looks great, runs really smooth too. I agree the analog stick sucks, but nothing we can do about that. I didn't get too far into it last night, only played for about 15-20mins before bed. I got past the first "boss" (at least i think it was a boss, the big guy with the big shield and sword). I only got to the 2nd save point, so that should give you all an idea on where I'm at lol.

I forgot to mention that it is the same for me too. Not ever owning a PS2, I never got to experience some of the fun franchises that I have now been able to dabble in (thanks to the PSP). For example the R&C series, Wipeout, and now this game all made me wish I would have had a PS2 for a certain couple of games. :(

Well there is still hope for you guys :p

Ironic thing is you are playing the series in the correct order.

COW is a prequel, hence it should be played first anyway ;)

Exactly why my friend who has a PS2 and both GoW games wants to play the new one on PSP. I think I have a plan....:p

Finally got to play it last night for about 30 minutes. The sad part though was that I didn't even finish the part of the game that was the demo, so no new gameplay for me yet. :(

Even though it was the demo part, I still love the series so far. I just got done playing Devil May Cry 4 on my 360 and I am really starting to like the Hack-n-Slash type games.

It's a great game. Very well done. Feels exactly like the PS2 ones if not better and looks good too boot. My only qualm is that I beat it in 4 hours...

The game is amazing, it feels like a PS2 GoW.

I got the game on gamestop today and the guy asked me if I wanted to pre-order GoW3 :rolleyes: Is not even announced and they already know that the release date is March 2009? hehe Probably is going to be released by that date. All other were released on March.

I hate when Gamestop tries to do that. I swear every time I go in there for a game, they are trying to get me to preorder a game that is a year or two away. Even worse is, yea you can preorder it, but they can't guarantee you one right away, they guarantee you get it.....eventually.

Yeah I hate that too. I never preorder games that I don't know the exact date they are going to be released. Well I rarely preorder games on Gamestop (there are some exceptions like Final Fantasy Games, Gran Turismo, MGS :D ) I preorder MGS4 today. :p

Did you get the MGS4Online Beta disc?

I do agree, tho, I only pre-order games that I'm 100% sure will be out, and that I'm 100% sure I know I'll want (GTA, etc.).

Back to GoW, I only played it for about 25 minutes @ GDC, but it almost makes me want to get a PSP for it. I hope there is a PS2 port, rumors notwithstanding.

Ready At Dawn write: "Moving forward, we can confirm that Chains of Olympus will be our last PSP game as we?re moving on to other projects and other ideas on other consoles. We can also confirm that this will be our first and last God of War game as, just like Daxter before it, there will NOT be a PS2 port of the game. We like our games PSP exclusive:):)"

Looks like this thread got hijacked; mind if we all get back on topic "God of War"?

I played it a good deal last night. I've got to say, the immersion of the game is simply amazing. Play the game with a good set of headphones on and you'll see what I mean. I'm going to hook it up to my HD set and see how it performs with the component cables. I'm sure it'll look just as good as it did on the PS2 on the same screen that my PS2 plays on :).

The bosses get progressively harder (the first few don't really fight back enough to even try to kill you). Intense storyline, and its definitely worth playing through (yeah, i beat it last night =P, last fight is nuts on titan mode)
