    Oookay...

    Whoever writes these types of articles on the regular must be a very pessimistic person in nature, their loss.

    What do you expect? This is God of War for the PSP b!tch, enjoy yourself or go get a cranberry juice

    This isn't one critic's odd view on the game. If you read on the bottom of Joystiq's article ...

Much of the small criticism of the game came largely in comparing it to the hugely successful PS2 versions -- perhaps an unfair standard for a PSP game, but one that shows just how high the title stands above others on the same system.
    Take a look at the game's Metacritic for a more positive collection of reviews. In fact, it's the #1 game ever on the Metacritic list at the moment.

    Thanks for the explanation. For me, the numbers in brackets give it away as a compilation of sorts.

    I'm getting it, I have a knack for loving games and movies everyone else, especially critics, hate

    Besides, It's God Of War!

    The whole point is to hasve the GOW experiance on your psp. The original formula worked, so why mess with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Oh, and BTW, GOW rocks!

    I don't know, I'll have to see it by myself
    I don't care about critics, most of the time I disagree with them

    Once I play it, we'll see, at this point, the demo was great, hope the game is not that short as some people say

    At last I got my hands on God of War, and let me say so far so great

    but the review has only one good point the battles on "rooms" where you have to beat all the enemies appear too much and it gets a little annoying, but no one can't deny is a great game and it's even better cause you can play it on the go

    Its pretty great in my opinion. One of the better on PSP. Oh and guys the point of this article was to give a negative view of a great game to show you the bad where others really haven't. I, for one, like it
