Game Chronicles October 25, 2010
But whatever you do, don't miss out on this fantastic new installment in the God of War saga. The story will impact you as much as the insane action, and with dazzling visuals and sound, this is one adventure you can't afford to miss.

Gaming Nexus October 26, 2010
A by-the books add-on to the franchise that maintains and raises the high bar of the franchise. There are a lot of nice new things to do in the game and the plot expands the canon of the franchise quite a bit. I do wish they had introduced a few new things and taken the game in some new direction but the game is still excellent

Indeed, Sparta is not only a great PSP game but a great God of War game with an absolutely incredible ending.

The sound design is incredible, with many varied tracks with authentic and unique sounding instruments that organically change depending on the on-screen action.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta is the perfect swansong for Ready At Dawn, their mastery of the PSP unmatched, and it's also a fitting climax to a portable sadly suffering in the shadows of endless rumours of a successor.

IGN October 25, 2010
Unbelievably, the developers at Ready at Dawn managed to top what they did with Chains of Olympus, delivering a longer, deeper, and more graphically beautiful game than even they thought was originally possible. Ghost of Sparta is, without a doubt, one of the best games available for the PSP.

Game Informer October 25, 2010
Ghost of Sparta doesn't have any mind-blowing moments of sheer magnitude like the console entries, but it compensates with a handful of cool special sequences that fill in parts of Kratos' history and character.

Meristation October 26, 2010
Stunning and impresive - Ghost of Sparta takes the gameplay of later God of Wars adding some new features and an incredible graphic engine. Ready at Dawn did its best to fulfill the hopes of the entire fanbase of the franchise, and they're successful in doing it. One of those games that you better go and buy without any further hesitation.

Ghost of Sparta is incredibly well balanced and highly polished. It's an experience that is defining for both Kratos and the system. If you own a PSP, then you owe it to yourself to play this game. If not, then it's time to finally get one.

PlayStation Universe October 29, 2010
God of War: Ghost of Sparta is the best game on the PSP, pushing the boundaries of a handheld device with breathtaking graphics, a striking story, and enough combat to keep your thumbs busy for many hours.

Kratos is definitely back as are all the wondrous mythological creatures and settings of ancient Greece.

It's the ultimate example of the full console experience in the palm of your hands.

An absolute essential addition to your collection if you own a PSP, and is quite possibly the finest title to fit in your pocket to date.

GameTrailers October 25, 2010
Fluid combat, well-designed levels, and boss battles that will remind you precisely why you love the series in the first place make Ready at Dawn's second entry in the series a God among portable games.

It may be a somewhat short experience, but there's no denying the fact that the time you do spend with the game will be a great one.

Vandal October 27, 2010
This is one of the most fun and polished games in the PSP, and offers what series followers are looking for. As in many cases, its only drawback is that we have already seen this formula many times, althought not so many in a portable console.

Probably the best game available on Psp, Ghost of Sparta is a "real" God of War from every perspective, and a fantastic game that every fan of the series should not miss.

God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta is an authentic masterpiece. The combat system, as well as the level design and the enemy's A.I., reach perfection. A must-have for all PSP owners and for the fans of the series.
