Chains of Olympus was a fun game but where GOW really chines is Ghost of Sparta, feels a lot more like a GOD game, the puzzles are not too hard, the game difficulty is good and there are not to many timed events (i stop playing God of War 2 because of that).
Alll in all for the price its 2 great games in one package, and the graphics are also very good.
5.0 out of 5 starsEVEN more fun than the original PSP versions!

First of all, in case you still have doubts about it: This game includes both Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta in a single Blu-Ray, no need to install anything.
I've bought this collection a long time ago, but I tried (and got) both Platinum trophies first, before making a review of the games
That said, let's start with the key points for this collection:
*The games definitely won't last long (they're PSP games, so don't expect them to last as much as GOW III, please) *To get the platinum (any of the 2 available) you might need to clear the game at least twice *It is remastered in HD, but I've played in a 480i SD screen, no big deal at all.
So, let's go through the games.
*God of War: Chains of Olympus.
In terms of story line, it happens BEFORE GOW I, so if you want to play like it's meant to be played, keep that in mind. Also, as in ALL and EVERY GOW game, you'll be Athena's puppet AND you'll visit the tartarus (Kratos has some issues with Hades and death, you know.) In the beginning of the game, as in every GOW, you'll learn about the controls, which, of course are slightly different then the original PS2/3 GOW games due to the lack of some buttons in the PSP layout (no big deal too), then you'll go through the levels, collect boxes for souls, health/magic upgrades... You may not take more than 6 hours to clear the game if you're hardcore in the 1st playthrough (from the 2nd playthrough on, you'll be able to use some perks, such as special skins that grant you abilities, that is, if you play in the same difficulty setting or a lower one that you've cleared the game (e.g. if you clear it in Normal mode, then you can play Normal and Easy like a god, but if you go for Hard, gotta start from scratch again) As for the trophies, well, since it's a remaster, they couldn't get creative enough to make the trophy set more challenging so there aren't any painful trophy to get, really. As for the story of the game, well, Helios was kidnapped and the sun wouldn't come up, and Morpheus was taking everything into his domains (everybody was sleeping and the usual horde of enemies was taking place), in the end, Kratos must face a tough choice: Stay with the ones he most loved and f* the world, or, leave them behind, get real mad for what he was forced to do and save the world while taking a bath of blood, like always, while slicing the wife of a god and a titan.
*God of War: Ghost of Sparta.
The game story happens BEFORE GOW II, however, you'll get stripped off all your weapons ("like it never happened before...", if you're familiar with the GOW series...) but yeah, we can't expect to fight like the God of War, it'd be too easy... From the 2 games, this one is my favorite because we get more things to do, and a bigger game with lots of challenges, and also, we get to visit SPARTA! (and, since it's a default in the GOW series, we get to visit some ladies there too... and when you do that, make sure you "visit" them 3 times and do it RIGHT, before leaving Sparta *hint hint*) Then, straight to the game's story: After you've become (spoiler-free) a... MIGHTY warrior in GOW I, Kratos will hear rumors about his brother, Deimos, then Kratos will, once again, run through Greece (and sink Atlantis and make Poseidon mad in the process, and even go to Thanatos' domains, which even the gods are afraid to cross...) to find out the truth, which will be shocking, revealing and pleasing to find out... Well, to prevent any more spoilers, I'll stop telling the story from here (well, it involves Athena as well, but... when it doesn't? ) and give you the background of the game: Ghost of Sparta was named after Kratos nick name (he was called Ghost of Sparta after what he did to the ones he loved the most, and that's why he's gray-ish). In the game you'll face cool bosses, find nice weapons, and you'll collect relics (YES!, relics!) that will give you powers/perks after you clear the game (after that you'll be able to use skins as well) AS for the trophies, same as Chains of Olympus... they aren't hard to get as long as you're a good player of GOW...
Bottom line: Both games are real good and fun to play, and if you find this collection for cheap like I did ($20) and if you like God of War, then just buy it for your PS3... I've played both games on the PSP but I wanted even more, so I bought the PS3 edition and I am very happy with it. Like I said, the only downside of this collection is that the games won't last long and you won't have much challenges to get the Platinums
Viel muss man zu der Spielserie God of War nicht sagen, aber diese Collection bietet eine Menge Spielspass und das liegt vor allem an den hohen Schwierigkeitsgrad der fordert einen ab und an schon etwas heraus, und ein paar kniffilige Rätseleinlagen gibt es auch. Das hatte ich beim dritten Teil der Serie etwas vermisst. Zur Story, hier wird aufgeschlüsselt warum Kratos so ist wie er ist, lasst euch überraschen. Lohnt sich !
