God of War

[SickMick_UK]

do the PSP games continue the story from the other GOW games. ie should I play the others first.

you don't have to. i think chronologically events took place before (coo) and after (gos) original god of war. and they weren't released in that order.

it probably would be good to play original gow first. because it was first

not realy, there is few bits, 4 moments in 2 games where you may be like "what?" but the rest is unneeded

spoiler alert one (if u played God of war II read on)

when you talk to Atlas he sais that you imprisoned him (this is in Chains of Olympus)

Spoiler alert 2 (if u played God of War III read on)

when Helios tells you that you once saved his life (thats in Chains of Olympus)

when Hades tells you you killed his whife (thats in Chains of Olympus)

when Zues tell Gaia tha she should choose the other one (thats in Ghost of Sparta)

so well it is not needed to play the 2 games but is always good to have a little knowladge to the backstory

in CoO you can preety much find out what Kratos whas doing before the first GoW game, the whole game was one of his trials to wash away his sins and GoS is explained a bit more the whole hate thing against the gods, after playing all 5 games (well 6 but I don't think the mobile game is of any importance) I know that Kratos is misunderstood as a character and the gods deserved to die (specially by Kratoses hands)

AND ONE LAST THING

if u want to know how the story progresses in order, is:

- Chains of Olympus

- God of War

- Ghost of Sparta

- God of War II

- God of War III

The PSP games act as sort of "additional" stories.

Stoopid_Snot has the chronology of the cannon, but the order that the games released in were:

GoW 1
GoW 2
Chains of Olympus
GoW 3
Ghost of Sparta.

You can pretty much play the PS2/3 games before the PSP ones, but if you do that then make sure you play 1 through to 3 in that order.
