(That’s at least once more!)
The other night, I played through the demo release of God of War: Chains of Olympus and on a PSP, no less! The demo was extremely short (5-10 minutes of gameplay) but it was mighty fun! Kratos is still slashing his way through objects, people and beasts and tearing them apart. Even the controls felt good (aside from rolling, which has become too hard to do.) He had one new move and the single magic he received by killing the big, fat, stupid, ugly, bearded, one-eyed and vile Persian King (what else did you expect? it’s a cliché now! 
) is new, but the game play is the same as the classic, which can be a Good Thing or a Bad Thing, depending on the story and whether it has just the right amount of sugar to set it apart yet remain in the same godly series (the thing the GoW2 did beautifully.)
Here, help yourself to a line or two from GoW2. If you have been lucky enough to play through it, well…. Yaaaay! If not, go get your hands on a PS2 if you’ve ever even remotely liked any 3D computer game, because you’ll love these two!
Prometheus: God of War! You… live!
Kratos: I no longer walk with the Gods. Who has placed you in this torment?
Prometheus: Zeus!…
(You can read the whole script of GoW2 here if you’re interested.)
