God of War: Chains of Olympus out today

84 0

I hope you’re ready for the release of Kratos onto the PSP today, March 4th, when he’ll be hacking up your local game store. To give you a little sample of what you’re in store for, I’ve also included a sneak peak of our 30-second TV spot that launches today as well.

*We* know the game is incredible, but you don’t have to take our word for it… here’s what everyone else is saying:

1UP.com

9.4/10 + Editors Choice Award
“Engaging from start to finish, Chains of Olympus is a mandatory purchase for anyone who owns a PSP…”

Kill em if you got em!

  • I have to wait until tomorrow for it :(.

  • patopon, wipeout pulse, God of War, finalfantasy crisis core…..keep em coming man

  • also Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles including unlock the original game in one package hell of a deal……

  • im kinda mad they dont say release day is the 5th…sure it was shipped on the 4th…but that doesnt help us any…

    I mean i preorder something back in november, and get to gamestop only to find out i need to come back tommorow…how inconsiderate of u. Btw jk…its worth every second of the wait.

    My time has come… Tomorrow

  • So how long would you say is “Coming Soon”???

  • I’ll try to get it soon

  • Damn GameSpot underscored another excellent Sony exclusive. First they rated Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction with 7.5, and now God of War: Chains of Olympus with 8.5.

  • I cant wait to get that game! It might be the only one I’ll play for a while.

  • IMO Sony should just sue GameSpot…

  • Great commercial.

    Is there any plan to release the GOW PSP bundle in the UK? I need to replace my old PSP.

  • Man, I wanna check out GoW: CoO but I dont have a psp. And I dont wanna get a psp til the GoW bundle comes out…….damnit! They should release the bundle sooner! >_<

  • I know this GOW game is just coming out and I can’t wait to buy it. But R@D have said they had so many more ideas and things they wanted to bring to this game so please ask them to make another GOW.
    Just one more PSP game then they can get back to work on there PS3 game.

  • awesome trailer

  • I’m a big GOW fan but I really feel you guys dropped the ball by not releasing the psp bundle day and date with the standalone game.

    Yeah, it’s pointless to complain on the internet and whatnot, but I wanted to express my disappointment as a fan, so I’ll leave it at that. To everyone else, enjoy the game, I’m sure it’s great just like the previous two.

  • So, will I be confused this game if I never got God of War 2? I intend to play it in the future, but I never got around to it because I had gotten a PS3 and it felt weird to buy a PS2 game. Anyways, will I be alright not having played God of War 2?

  • to start off i will be getting a psp. i need to get this game and patapon. both sounds good to me. of course i will definitely get Socom. Good job Sony keep the games coming through all the consoles you have out.

  • i still cant get over the way the first to games are .so i know im getting god of war for the psp…..? when does god of war 3 come out????

  • This game is awesome. I was a little worried seeing as how it was a new developer but they did a bang up job, feels just as epic as the previous games.

    Also, best looking hand held game ever made, bar none.

  • Hey Eric,

    I am kind of making my way into the developer world and I have a question or two for you:

    1) When producing a game, what comes first?

    2) To make great games like GOW. GOW2, GOW COO, did it take very long for the whole team to draw up the stories and ideas?(Months, Years, Days)

    Thanks for the input if you can. And good job.

  • I don’t remember reading or seeing if it’s been mentioned, the availability of the bundle? If it’s limited edition, or will always be available. I hope it has a long shelf life, I would like to purchase a warranty with a store for a year or two. Sony’s warranty makes you pay 90 dollars (not cool).

  • I really don’t get why they would release the GOW PSP in June, months after the game comes out. I would think a lot of people are gonna hold off to get the game when it comes bundled with the red PSP.

  • It’s what I’m doing, Fabi. You’d think they would release the bundle on the same date as the game to help with sales n stuff. I mean I’m one o those that’s holding off until June. I’m so tempted to go buy the game right now though, but then I’ll have two GoW games when June hits.

  • @65

    No. Buy GoW2, you won’t really get the gist of the storyline.

  • damn i saw the review on gametrailers i now i regret selling my PSP

  • Awesome ad. Can’t wait to get this game. Great scores also. Although I expected nothing less from such a fantastic franchise. I’m pleased the PSP version will no no less different.

    Probably my favourite series now and such high quality throughout.

  • SO F***ING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

  • im so happy i am going to beat it tonight and everyday this week until i get ps3 for gow3 in march 2009, which i need a job for badly.

  • I don’t want to get banned describing how awesome this game is, I am truely amazed. Everyone involved in this game deserves a standing ovation and then some.

  • Why take so long to release the GOW themed PSP? Seems kind of a silly business move.

  • Yoooooooooooo This Game Soooo …. i cant even come up with a word to discribe it.

    @70

    I know Target Gives You a 3year Service Plan for only $19. Look it to it man.

  • Thank aztek21.

    I’ll definitely look into it.

  • The only Sony related thing I own is an alarm clock but I have been thinking that God Of War ever hit the PSP I would buy one. Now that it has a red limited edition coming out along with a movie I will get one as soon as I see it.

  • well what about the gamespot review of GOW chains of olympus giving it 8.5/10?

  • Are they going to put this game (god of war chains of olympus) on ps2?
    Like the 1st god of war and 2nd??
