  • EVEN more fun than the original PSP versions!
First of all, in case you still have doubts about it: This game includes both Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta in a single Blu-Ray, no need to install anything. I've bought this collection a long time ago, but I tried (and got) both Platinum trophies first, before making a review of the games That said, let's start with the key points for this collection: *The games definitely won't last long (they're PSP games, so don't expect them to last as much as GOW III, please) *To get the platinum (any of the 2 available) you might need to clear the game at least twice *It is remastered in HD, but I've played in a 480i SD screen, no big deal at all. So, let's go through the games. *God of War: Chains of Olympus. In terms of story line, it happens BEFORE GOW I, so if you want to play like it's meant to be played, keep that in mind. Also, as in ALL and EVERY GOW game, you'll be Athena's puppet AND you'll visit the tartarus (Kratos has some issues with Hades and death, you know.) In the beginning of the game, as in every GOW, you'll learn about the controls, which, of course are slightly different then the original PS2/3 GOW games due to the lack of some buttons in the PSP layout (no big deal too), then you'll go through the levels, collect boxes for souls, health/magic upgrades... You may not take more than 6 hours to clear the game if you're hardcore in the 1st playthrough (from the 2nd playthrough on, you'll be able to use some perks, such as special skins that grant you abilities, that is, if you play in the same difficulty setting or a lower one that you've cleared the game (e.g. if you clear it in Normal mode, then you can play Normal and Easy like a god, but if you go for Hard, gotta start from scratch again) As for the trophies, well, since it's a remaster, they couldn't get creative enough to make the trophy set more challenging so there aren't any painful trophy to get, really. As for the story of the game, well, Helios was kidnapped and the sun wouldn't come up, and Morpheus was taking everything into his domains (everybody was sleeping and the usual horde of enemies was taking place), in the end, Kratos must face a tough choice: Stay with the ones he most loved and f* the world, or, leave them behind, get real mad for what he was forced to do and save the world while taking a bath of blood, like always, while slicing the wife of a god and a titan. *God of War: Ghost of Sparta. The game story happens BEFORE GOW II, however, you'll get stripped off all your weapons ("like it never happened before...", if you're familiar with the GOW series...) but yeah, we can't expect to fight like the God of War, it'd be too easy... From the 2 games, this one is my favorite because we get more things to do, and a bigger game with lots of challenges, and also, we get to visit SPARTA! (and, since it's a default in the GOW series, we get to visit some ladies there too... and when you do that, make sure you "visit" them 3 times and do it RIGHT, before leaving Sparta *hint hint*) Then, straight to the game's story: After you've become (spoiler-free) a... MIGHTY warrior in GOW I, Kratos will hear rumors about his brother, Deimos, then Kratos will, once again, run through Greece (and sink Atlantis and make Poseidon mad in the process, and even go to Thanatos' domains, which even the gods are afraid to cross...) to find out the truth, which will be shocking, revealing and pleasing to find out... Well, to prevent any more spoilers, I'll stop telling the story from here (well, it involves Athena as well, but... when it doesn't? ) and give you the background of the game: Ghost of Sparta was named after Kratos nick name (he was called Ghost of Sparta after what he did to the ones he loved the most, and that's why he's gray-ish). In the game you'll face cool bosses, find nice weapons, and you'll collect relics (YES!, relics!) that will give you powers/perks after you clear the game (after that you'll be able to use skins as well) AS for the trophies, same as Chains of Olympus... they aren't hard to get as long as you're a good player of GOW... Bottom line: Both games are real good and fun to play, and if you find this collection for cheap like I did ($20) and if you like God of War, then just buy it for your PS3... I've played both games on the PSP but I wanted even more, so I bought the PS3 edition and I am very happy with it. Like I said, the only downside of this collection is that the games won't last long and you won't have much challenges to get the Platinums ... show more

  • God of War Double Feature
God of War Chains of Olympus, and God of War Ghost of Sparta were both for the PSP. Now it comes out for the PS3 in HD, in one Blu-Ray disc title called God of War: Origins Collection. Chains of Olympus you play as Kratos before the events of the first God of War. So Kratos will be still serving the gods. He's sent in to help stop a Persian invasion. The Persians are using a giant basilisk to help. Like God of War fashion, you battle it throughout parts of the level. Similar to the Hydra in GOW1. After your battle you learn that the gods are in trouble, and the world has turned dark. You go through the Sun God's temple, to Hades, and Tartarus as some of the locations. The story is not the best of the GOW's, but it's ok. You also learn a lot about the titans imprisonment in Tartarus. Some of the enemies are hard to dodge unlike in the previous games. Namely the panther type creature, and the undead with the twin swords. There seems to be a slight delay for the dodge move. You can parry in this game. Ever since GOW2 gave you the golden fleece, it's the standard for the rest of the GOW's. Zeus's gauntlet, that you collect in you weaponry, is a close range weapon that deals tons of damage. You don't get this early on unfortunatly, and it's too bad. God of War Ghost of Sparta has improved much more than Chains of Olympus. You are on a search for your brother who was also mentioned in GOW1. He was taken away, and you find out why on your journey to find him. The gods do not want Kratos to go, but of course he refuses them. You travel a lot more here than in Chains of Olympus locations. You might remember the ship level in GOW1. You start the game sailing again. A giant sea creature chases you from the ocean to even on land. Yes, another giant monster in the beginning. This one will show up a good number of times. There are many different levels here ranging from the city of Atlantis, a lava mountain, snowy areas, and even Kratos's city of Sparta. If you've played the previous GOW's, you'll realize quickly in the game why he's so desparate to save his brother. There are a lot of reasons. There are flash back events in the game that give you a little more insight each time. The story is my second favorite to GOW2 as first. The combat is improved here as well from Chains of Olympus. The dodge button responds good again. The twins sword enemies are back, and still have lightning fast attacks. So it's best to just keep them at a range and attack. In here Kratos will be able to arm himself with the Spartan spear and shield. You can throw spears here without selecting in a menu to do so. The melee range is not as good as your double blades, but it can finish enemies faster. The combos are somewhat slow as well. But if you put together different throwing attacks with a combination for close combat, it's a great weapon. The developers have learned from the mistakes of Chains of Olympus, and it shows with Ghost of Sparta. The Blu-Ray disc is a buy for Ghost of Sparta alone. Chains would just be a bonus. It's still a decent game. It's really a plus going from the small PSP screen to a bigger HD screen to play these games. ... show more

  • Highly recommended for God of War franchise fans!
First, I have not played these games before on PSP. I just finished both games and here are my thoughts: Chains of Olympus: I was really impressed with this overall. When I thought that it started as a PSP game, I was even more impressed. This game must have been pretty hot stuff on that system. It looks good, plays well and was definitely fun. As another reviewer pointed out, the story was forgettable and I am literally having problems remembering it, even though I finished it 2 days ago. The cut-scenes are not in high-definition, and look blurry, but this is a minor concern. It was pretty easy. I was well over halfway into the game before I died for the first time. Ghost of Sparta: This game was awesome! I loved the story and it feels integral to the series. I actually felt a little ripped-off because I never got the chance to play it before. The cut-scenes are at a much higher resolution than the Chains of Olympus scenes. The gameplay is great and I really enjoyed the final battle scenes. It's hard to believe it began as a portable game. There is no question that Ghost of Sparta is the better of the two games in terms of visuals, gameplay and story. Complaints would be that both games have some unskippable cut-scenes and sometimes if you die you have to watch the entire scene again before you can get another chance in the battle. If you consider yourself a fan of the God of War franchise and Kratos, you should definitely play these games! ... show more
