I am not surprised it has received this score, a game that is not innovating at all, is just one more in the series.

Yeah but there is a difference, this god of war is on psp. If it was on ps2 i would agree, but its on handheld.

If formula works why try to change it, yes they need to do change things for Ps3 god of war, but it's a handheld so Mario kart ds wasn't so much different from predecessors but it was fun and had onlline, i rather have great games with solid controls.

lol, whatever.

Gamespot is dead anyway.

Gamefaq's ranking on alexa.com: #32

IGN's ranking #42

Gamespot's ranking: #47

Yup, it's dead, only the 3rd highest ranked videogame site. Actually, I think Gamespot's is the most fair and non "starry eyed" review yet. It's a fair, accurate, no nonsense review (read it, seriously, don't just go by the score.) Considering an 8.5 is their next step below 9.0, I'd say it's a good score for God of War lite (aka Chains of Olympus).

Blank? Blank.

I was sure Gamespot was more popular than IGN.

Edit: On Alexa it says Gamespot has a traffic rank of 110 and IGN 161.

Pff, what's the big deal?

OMG NOOOOOOZ! GOD OF WAR GOT TEH LOW SCORE! WTF NOOOO!!!!!!1111!!!

Seriously, 8.5 is great. Especially if it's only around 7 hours long and doesn't give you anything really new.

An 8.8 is a bad score ;)

the fact thats its on the PSP is amazing, im not going to get this game because i thought it was going to inovate the series.... i mostly love the story if it and the fact that they made this game fit of the PSP without gimping the PS2 vertions is pretty freaking inovative if u ask me....

@ Rubang

What are you talking about?

I don't understand how I can like blood, tits, monsters, mythology, fighting, and video games as much as I do, and STILL hate this game and not understand why it's popular at all. It feels like a button masher to me. I basically hate all 3rd-person melee fighters except No More Heroes because I'm secretly in love with Suda51.

Sorry if I'm turning into a troll. I'm out of this thread. PSP seems to getdocked for every game ever just like the Wii. It had it's first games break 90 THIS YEAR. All scores and reviews suck. Good day.
