The most obvious criticisms are that the story is short (between 5-6 hours the first time through)and that the game is missing some of the features from other God of War games. 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).

God of War: Chains of Olympus looks fantastic. Normally we'd toss in a "for a portable game" qualifier, but we really don't need to in this case. Chains of Olympus looks better than most PSP games, and easily hangs in the looks department with the best PlayStation 2 games. The graphics are even more impressive because Ready at Dawn built the game specifically for the PSP.

With Chains of Olympus going Gold in Japan, we’re now officially done with PSP development. So today we sent all our devkits back and seeing all these boxes ready to be picked up definitely marks the end of an era here at Ready At Dawn. Can’t wait to show you guys what we have in store…. Look at those devkit. I count at least 9x3 devkit.

"From what I saw of Chains of Olympus (they weren't letting us play it), the game has the same look and feel of the PS2 games, which is, I would guess, exactly what most of us want."

"Moving forward, we can confirm that Chains of Olympus will be our last PSP game as we’re moving on to other projects and other ideas on other consoles. We can also confirm that this will be our first and last God of War game as, just like Daxter before it, there will NOT be a PS2 port of the game. We like our games PSP exclusives :)"
