Tiny Kratos: Twice the ass-kicking, half the calories. When gamers first heard about Kratos, the ash-stained, blood-letting, god-killing warrior from the God of War series, going to a mobile console (the PSP), some were a bit worried. Would it be possible for the God of War series to be translated to a mobile device? Can Kratos still kick as much ass in a miniaturized form? Well, we found out that he could. But, what most people didn't realize is that the PSP wasn't Kratos' first foray into pick-up-and-go play. No, that happened during God of War: Betrayal, perhaps one of Kratos' best chapters. In the GoW series, Kratos is a masterful badass who fought along with, under, and against the gods of Greek mythology through 2 PS2 games and the PSP. GoW: Betrayal is a bridge between the 2 PS2 games, telling the story of Kratos as he fights against an unknown assassin who frames him for killing a monstrous pet named Argos. The assassin is attempting to get the gods pissed at Kratos enough to kill him (which, as we all know, STILL wouldn't do the trick). So, it's up to Kratos, along with his dog Scooby and pal Velma, to uncover the secret of the assassin, and whoever is haunting the old mill.
The many-eyed, freakish boss of Betrayal. Gameplay is the standard fare for GoW games (hack, slash, repeat), including most of the spells from the first game (Army of Hades and Blade of Artemis, just to name half of them) and the weapon-and-spell-level-up system as well. The for being on a cell phone, control is super smooth and easy to grasp, whether you've played the first 2 games or not. Jumping is easy, attacks are fun to pull off. Every second with this game further removes the thought from your mind that cell phones aren't viable gaming consoles.
Hey, look, pretty water effects on a cell phone!!! Also, for being a cell phone game, it's damn pretty. Enemies look like they did in the first game, with all the zombie and minotaur monsters in all their pixelated beauty. In my review of Assassin's Creed for the cell phone, I said that it was one of the only games I'd suggest everyone gets for their cell phones. God of War: Betrayal is better than that, by leaps and bounds. Seriously: pull out your phone and pony up the cash for this game. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. =================== Previous Mini-Games: Assassin's Creed Turok Dead Rising Final Fantasy Snowboarding Doom RPG
