I hope you’re ready for the release of Kratos onto the PSP today, March 4th, when he’ll be hacking up your local game store. To give you a little sample of what you’re in store for, I’ve also included a sneak peak of our 30-second TV spot that launches today as well.
*We* know the game is incredible, but you don’t have to take our word for it… here’s what everyone else is saying:

“… it’s off-the-charts phenomenal…”

GameZone.com
9.5/10 + Outstanding Award
“…for a PSP title, this is one of the finest, if not THE finest, games released to date.”
Kill em if you got em!
I can’t wait for this, I’m sure I won’t be let down :D
…simply.. amazing! O_O!
Whoo! This ad is really great!
Why don’t we have those types of ads in my country?
Hot ad.. and I’m not one to watch ads.
Must…….get………..game………………uggggggggh
Very nice trailer.
So are there Patapons in this game?
Lets see, i could not pass the first hyrda head in the first god of war game, still can not beat the first level giant statue in the second one. YET!!! I beat the demo for this game, I will buy this.
I’ll be waiting for the GoW PSP Bundle- I absolutely need red! :D
By the way, could you have him start off by hacking away at my local Gamestop/EBGames? And I don’t mean ship the game there- seriously, hack those places apart. :/
Truly becoming a legendary gaming series in its own right! Great to see this PSP title getting the critical acclaim it deserves.
Can hardly wait for Kratos to slash it up on PS3!
2 words Bad Ass!
Oh, and please, please, please leave the PSP with this one. If this goes to one of the bigger brothers then any credibility the PSP has left as a gaming system will be shattered- it’s already hurting from the porting of plenty of its good titles to the PS2.
I will definitely be picking this up and the GOW PSP bundle in June, even though I already have a Starwars slim. I can’t wait to play, it’s been a very, very, very, long wait.
Congrats to RAD and Santa Monica Studios for what seems to be a hell of a game. A bit off topic here, it will be sad to see RAD leave the PSP scene. They’re one of my favorite devs based on one game (soon to be two).
Sure does look bad ass, but I’m not convinced that it’s worth $40 for a 5-hour long game… I own and have completed the other two games on PS2, which were $50 each, but are *much* longer. This one’s going to be a rental due to the combination of price and game length.
We’ve had people finish the game in five to ten hours just like there have been people who finished God of War II in that amount of time. It’s always hard to put a playtime length to any game.

\”Where as the first two can clock in at around 10-12 hours, Chains of Olympus is good for about 8-10 – but it\’ll probably end up a 20 hour experience, as you\’ll want to replay the game, to unlock certain features.\”

\”The length (between five and six hours the first time through) doesn\’t really bother me personally, since the game isn\’t artificially difficult just to make itself longer, and it offers multiple reasons to replay it (I\’m currently at over 25 hours all added up, between playing a second time — where you get to keep everything you unlocked the first time — and playing on God Mode difficulty, which is almost as challenging as in past games). I would have preferred to know the story was short up front, but assuming you\’re reading this before playing the game, you\’ve got that advantage.\”

It\’s relatively short (it took me about 7 hours), but there\’s plenty of bonus stuff to go back and earn.
