This a vastly better game than the previous PSP outing and what they were able to achieve with that system is pretty impressive. It has the bombastic boss battles and staggering spectacle that the series is known for and slicing with the blades is just as fun. This came out at a time when the series was very much getting a bit long in the tooth but it is a decent entry. They attempt to tell a more personal tale for Kratos but gets bogged down in him constantly being mad at everything and they can't develop him because he has to arrive at his angry righteous self pitying persona for God of War 2.
