Ready at Dawn utilizes the PSP's full capabilities in ways that past titles haven't, making CoO one of the best-looking PSP titles yet. That's just the beginning, though, as he moves from Attica to Marathon, where Helios, the sun god, has been weakened, and the god of dreams, Morpheus, is putting Greece to sleep so that he can loosen Olympus' grip on the nation. As the action kicks off, Kratos' story starts in the ancient Greek city of Attica, where he's defending against an onslaught of Persian forces. It's also one of the best titles available on any handheld system right now.ĬoO takes places at some point between the death of Kratos' wife and daughter and the events of the first God of War. Chains is a leaner and more compact experience than its console cousins in many regards. The acclaimed God of War series is leaping from PS2 to handheld, and it might be easy to write off Ready at Dawn's God of War: Chains of Olympus as merely 'Kratos on PSP.' That's not a totally unfair comparison, but it doesn't do the new game justice.
