Hey there, do you like God of War? You do? Great, what would you say if I told you Gameloft completely ripped off the entire concept, and gameplay.

Still sounds good right? Well lets ask Gameloft how they can improve on God Of War’s winning formula…….*crickets* I’ve gotta put this out here right now, Gameloft does NOTHING to try to build upon what God of War did, in fact it feels like an extremely stripped down SHAMELESS god of war rip off. The graphics are ass (think ps1) the controls are light attack, and heavy attack. The controls are the big draw back to the game in my opinion they feel quite slow and sluggish.

Also the game only gives you the illusion of platforming. You walk towards a gap….your guy auto jumps, then there’s points where you’ll need to jump to a different location you don’t hold the analog stick in any direction you simply push “X” when it tells you to (yes it prompts you to jump each time)

I have to admit I’m writing this game with an extreme amount of bias (could ya tell?) I enjoy the God of War games, they really are quite high quality, so when a game like Hero of Sparta comes into play, and rips off such a good franchise while doing it so poorly you can’t help but not like it. Hell I tried playing the Mini on both my psp, and Ps3 but both places it felt pointless especially since both the Ps3, and Psp have been graced by excellent GOW titles.

I can’t recommend playing this game on the psp or ps3, however if you have a jail broken Ipod and nothing else to play then you could probably get some joy out of playing this if you had absolutely nothing else to play, the game definitely works, and might be able to scratch an Ipod owners GOW itch to a small degree but there’s much much better titles on the Psp, Ps3, and DS to ever recommend this.

Fucked O-Meter ***_______3/10 (think toned down GOW violence)
