God of War: Ghost of Sparta

thesixthaxis.com review
God of War: Ghost of Sparta is the perfect swansong for Ready At Dawn, their mastery of the PSP unmatched, and it’s also a fitting climax to a portable sadly suffering in the shadows of endless rumours of a successor. Regardless, this is probably the neatest, most intimate and confident God Of War game since the very first, punching well above its handheld weight and flowing beautifully. Utterly riveting from start to (an amazing) finish, PSP exclusive Ghost Of Sparta is an absolute must-own for fans of the God of War games, and in that respect there’s really one word to describe the experience: flawless.

The game's difficulty and length is more than adequate and the average gamer will probably get through Ghost of Sparta in around 7 or 8 hours. Veterans of the series may choose to bump up the difficulty which will likely add some time to that estimate. One thing is for sure, the pacing of the action and adventure aspects, with minor puzzle solving here and there is just about perfect. There are well-timed breaks between the brutal action and they seem to come at just the right time. Even after the story ends, thanks to bonus challenges and content, an additional difficulty mode, and fun unlockables/costumes that can be used when starting a new game, there is still stuff to do.

The only real complaint I have about the control setup is that you have to take your fingers off the nub to use the magic items which can be a bit perilous in battle and sometimes forces you to waste some of the ability while you re-orient Kratos. I did experience a bit of cramped hands playing the game but there’s really nothing the folks at Ready of Dawn had any control over and I’m hopeful that they have some input over the control scheme of the rumored PSP 2.

It’s been so long since I had a reason to even turn on my PSP and here comes God of War: Ghost of Sparta, a singular reason to go out and purchase a PSP if you don’t already own one. They even have a special edition PSP bundled with the game if you need to go that route. But whatever you do, don’t miss out on this fantastic new installment in the God of War saga. The story will impact you as much as the insane action, and with dazzling visuals and sound, this is one adventure you can’t afford to miss.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta takes the PSP’s previous high-mark and raises it. This delivers all of the thrills that console owners have gotten used to, without the sacrifices that were initially made in Chains of Olympus. Long-time series vets should definitely pick this up, while newcomers to both the series and the system should pick up the new Ghost of Sparta bundle that packs both PSP entries in with the system. This is easily the best-looking game on the system, and definitely its best action-adventure game. It’s a must-play on the system, and worth buying the system for if you don’t already have it
