Each of the control changes has been implemented fantastically and you won’t miss any of the missing buttons.
Since there isn’t a second analog stick, dodging works by pressing L and R at the same time, which again works even better than on the PS2 pad since you don’t have to move your thumb off the face buttons. This means you won’t accidentally trigger something you didn’t mean to a waste precious magic, and it also means you can switch between them much more easily. Instead of having to use the D-Pad to change between magic types, you now hold R and press a corresponding face button.
Though the PSP is missing the L2 and R2 buttons and the right analog stick of the Dual Shock 2, I dare say that the control scheme here works better than on the PS2. I immediately and naturally went back to my favorite combos, and they worked exactly as I’d remembered. Furthermore, combat is extremely responsive, perfectly mimicking the console versions. From what I can tell without doing an actual side-by-side comparison of the two games, Kratos’ moves appear to be identical to what you’ll find in God of War 2. Aside from its rather stunning visuals, the first thing you’ll immediately notice about Chains of Olympus is that Ready at Dawn has done a stellar job of keeping Kratos’ move set intact. There’s even a bit of foreshadowing here that relates to what happens in the second and, I assume, third games, which is pretty cool. I won’t even begin to hint at its contents since much of the story is shrouded in mystery until the end, but it does work very nicely into the overall franchise and helps give a little more character to Kratos. After chasing down the Persians’ basilisk throughout the city, which of course culminates in a signature God of War boss battle, the game shifts its focus to an entirely different tale. If you’ve gotten your hands on the demo disc, you’ve already played the game’s opening moments. The game opens in Attica, where Kratos helps defend the city against the impeding Persian forces. Kratos has already been saved by Ares and is working out his seemingly never-ending payback by doing the bidding of Olympus.

There is no game on android or the PSP that can match the story or the gameplay of this game, making it one of the must play game. Since it’s based on Greek mythology it really immerses you into the game and you can actually feel Kratos’s anger as he fights through those who have wronged him. The story is the second best part of the game after the gameplay. Use a Xbox 360 Controller for best experience. Might as well consider this game as gymnastic lessons for your fingers. But some key combos really test how far can you stretch your fingers. The controls are amazing and it is very responsive. Overall you can’t complain since the game is from 2006. While the visuals are stunning, the sequel Ghost Of Sparta has much improved visuals. There is no other game on PSP that can match the graphics quality of GOW series. The drops in FPS does not hamper the gameplay in any way.
At times I was able to reach 20 FPS at certain points in the game and there was absolutely no stutter in sound. Like GOW: Ghost Of Sparta, I wanted this game to run much faster because it’s a action packed game and it deserves to be played at 30FPS at least. This is prequel to God Of War I released on the PS2 and follows the journey of Kratos as on his quest to save Olympus. Today we will be trying out another God Of War game on PPSSPP – God Of War: Chains of Olympus which is the first God Of War game on PSP.
