The photos are of this exact copy — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every game is tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"638\"\u003eItem Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sun has vanished from the sky, Morpheus has wrapped the world in a darkness that leaves the gods of Olympus asleep, and the only one left standing to set it right is Kratos, still bound to their service. \u003cem\u003eGod of War: Chains of Olympus\u003c\/em\u003e is the 2008 prequel that sends him into that darkness, and it is the game that proved the series' full fury could fit on the PSP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by Ready at Dawn, it plays like the PS2 games shrunk down without losing their bite. The Blades of Chaos are back for chained combos and brutal grabs, quick-time finishers punctuate the bigger fights, and Gorgon eyes and Phoenix feathers extend health and magic as they do on console. New tools include the Sun Shield and the Gauntlet of Zeus, plus magic such as Efreet and Light of Dawn. To make up for the PSP's missing second stick, dodging moves to both shoulder buttons with the analog nub, and it works far better than anyone expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe journey opens with a Persian army laying siege to Attica, complete with a towering Basilisk, and descends through the temple of Helios into the Underworld, where the ferryman Charon guards the river Styx and Persephone has plans of her own involving the Titan Atlas and the pillar that holds up the world. In the fields of Elysium, Kratos is reunited with his daughter Calliope, and the choice he faces there gives this prequel an emotional sting few expected from a handheld spin-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a technical showpiece for the PSP, with set pieces and boss fights on a scale the system rarely saw, and it set up Ready at Dawn to return with \u003cem\u003eGhost of Sparta\u003c\/em\u003e two years later. Played today, it is a compact, punchy chapter that slots in before the first God of War, and the place where Kratos's handheld career began.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coolection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56078928838822,"sku":"PCQ-12962-LG","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/7404\/4838\/files\/Photoroom_097_20260108_155606.png?v=1767910934","url":"https:\/\/coolection.com\/products\/god-of-war-chains-of-olympus","provider":"Coolection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
