I will be cheating on Mrs.Ino whilst in bed with Kratos!

Well that's if she will put Patapon down for 10mins to let me have a go!

Me..... and you're right - its bloody brilliant !!!

Best hand-held game ever IMO - it really is the G.O.W experience we know & love from the PS2. Going to be the 1st game in ages I'll play through on all difficulty levels. If your a G.O.W fan then its worth buying a PSP for

Really, hats off to the developers.

I'm very tempted to do exactly this

i just got this game too, put it on both of my psp's and me and my wee bro have been playing like crazy all day, how do you pull the big monster down when you grab onto its leg at the big bridge, you press circle to jump up and latch onto it, but how do you pull it down with your rope things

move the nub in the direction ( clockwise or anti clockwise ) in a circular motion.

Looks great - shame there will be no PS2 port though

Got my Copy of GoW today, im loving it, i know im going play through it again on the two higher levels( playing it on normal), so it being 5-7 hrs is a good thing. Plus the challenges will take a couple of hours to do. I cant believe how well this game looks and plays though, it really is like a pocket PS2! Those who like GoW but dont own a PSP, get out there and buy one!!

I'm happy with the length of the game, I don't want a GoW that lasts 15-20hrs on the PSP, so that's a thumbs up from me.

Managed to finally sit down and play the demo properly last night from beginning to end, it's absolutely flawless (except for the frame rate, though that is because it's reading from the mem card and not UMD and is none-existent in retail version), and I am amazed how they have got an epic game like GoW onto the small screen and it's still epic!

Really looking forward to playing the full release.

Best psp game out there and shows how much of a powerhouse the little machine is, sony really do a good job of making machines that slowly show their best.

can't wait for GOW3.

Mine should arrive tomorrow or the day after. I have the demo loaded on my PSP. Gonna play the demo tomorrow in anticipation of the full game arriving.

Just finished it, and what a game! Any GOW fans ( Nokkon I am talking to you ) must play this, an epic in the palm of your hand.

And congrats to Ready at Dawn, an excellent developer destined for great things.

Sorry to resurect this, but good lord, what an achievement for a handheld! This is a phenomenal game, good enough to sit with the all time greats.

This is far higher quality than most 360/ps3/pc titles out in the last year

Apopcalyptic · 1 Apr 2008 at 23:24

I've not yet played this (or any GoW), I suppose I ought to get the demo down really at some point.

Metalface Mark · 1 Apr 2008 at 23:29

Gonna pick this up tomorrow. How long is the game?

Well i did it on normal first of all prob took at least 6 hours or so, maybe more, as i tried to find all the chests. Did it again with some unlocks on the normal took bout 4.5 but that is with all weapons/ magic/ and other nice stuff. Completed all but one of the Hades challenges and gone through on hard mode so in all prob spent 18 hrs or so on it.

My mate had it on his psp,played it but didn't really enjoy it

Shame,heard great things about it, prefer Devil May Cry to GoW. On the other hand my mate loved it and completed it in 7hours. He did get very frustrated with the last boss tho!
