God of War: Chains of Olympus - First Impressions

My Precious Underlings!GameOnYou, the wily tricksters that we are, have managed to get hold of a copy of the US version of God of War for the PSP.

It was a dark night when we strapped instructions to the back of our underlings and sent them westwards, toward the USA to find us a copy of the much coveted GoW: Chains of Olympus. Sadly only one returned, reporting back that the half of the group had to crash land as a result of achy-breaky pelvis, a severe illness which can only be contracted by underlings within a 100 mile radius of an earthquake. We figured that they would be safe in their natural habitat, Yorkshire, but we predicted wrong.

God of War PSP - Too Short?

Short at under 5 hoursAlong with Sony’s new flagship title for the PSP, God of War, came universal acclaim (a metascore of 94) although there is also concern over the length of the game.

Wired.com blogger Chris Kohler reports;

Chains of Olympus is still really short at just under five hours. I’d be a little more forgiving of this if the game was jam-packed full of holy-shit moments like previous God of War games, but it just isn’t.

This sounds disappointing to say the least.
Watch this space as I will be picking this game up on release and will give you my verdict then.
