300: March to Glory screens

I am constantly counting down the minutes until 300 comes out in theaters. Now, I'm being taunted by 300: March to Glory, being released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Eidos for the PSP.

This is one of those movies to games that I think could actually work. The comic and film are both extremely action based, with the bulk of the enjoyment coming from the action scenes. If the in-game camera can suddenly change for when you perform a "wrath attack," which I can only assume to be something like a finishing move, to show the attack in a cinematic light, then I think it'll add quite a bit to the enjoyment of the game. The trailer shows off the finishing moves, which look like God of War meets Prince of Persia.

From the descriptions on the site, it seems as though your health will rely on you continually fighting. While this seems like something that is a little unfair, it really forces the player into the Spartan mindset of constant combat. The only thing that seems to be lacking is the amount of time spent on this game. I have a feeling that like the comic, this will not take very long to get through, and that you'll be left with a somewhat unfufilled feeling.

The game will let you play either as King Leonidas and fight on your own, or as a phalanx group. I have a feeling the game will let you switch between the two in battle, depending on what sort of enemy you're facing. There isn't a lot of gameplay footage as of yet, but hopefully there will be more information on how this combat system works later.

Anyways, take a look at the screens and let me know what you think, since this game might push me over the edge into getting a PSP, but I want to hear if the PSP owners will be buying this or not.

Cool! 0.0! This game looks like a combination of Prince of Persia and God Of War!!

Holy crap gotta' get me some of that.
That immediately reminds me of Spartan: Total Warrior. Doesn't make me think of Prince of Persia or God of War at all. Seems like you just stole that idea from the article, really.
It'll definitely be good (or at least decent) on the PSP, since it's an exclusive game. If they were making it on more powerful consoles, and also had a PSP port, the PSP port would be AWFUL.

Froob, what article? It doesn't mention anything about that.

This movie looks awesome. I can't wait until it comes out and airs on TV.

Froob, what article? It doesn't mention anything about that.

Well, "froob" isn't a word, but I can only imagine you're trying to use it as some kind of petty insult or something.
Anyway, right there at the end of the second paragraph, it says, "The trailer shows off the finishing moves, which look like God of War meets Prince of Persia."
And you said, in all your creative power and skill, "This game looks like a combination of Prince of Persia and God Of War!!"
And that's where I got my CA-RAZY idea that you just read what the article said and decided to talk as if it were your own opinion that generated some kind of similarity between 300: March to Glory and those two different games. Y'know, man?

I'd be pretty disappointed if this was like Prince of Persia and God of War. I'm hoping that this game features SOME teammates when playing as the King, instead of limiting the teamwork to the phalanx.

Uh...dude I don't know what post are you talking about. And about "froob"..what? it isn't a word? And "lol" is a word? "Noob" is a word? "rofl" is a word? "Lmao" is a word? "P.S." is a word? "Y'know" is a word? Man...we are on the internet. Where people make their own words and abbreviations.
