God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP)

Spent many hours playing this game. The Easy Mode was a piece of cake. Really had fun playing it... no stress and fun in hack and slash.

After finished the Easy Mode, the God Mode is unlocked. I gave the God Mode a try... but to my horror... it is 100 times harder than Easy Mode. The enemies are harder to be killed while they inflict more damage. This double impact is really a nightmare for me. I spend hours trying to kill the monsters one by one, looking for the best and most efficient way to kill them, as in God Mode, we cannot hack and slash them head on, but must skillfully evade the enemy attacks while delivering maximum damage, normal damage will take ages to kill them. And playing God Mode really tested my patience. I am a very impatient person, always go head on to hack and clash with the monsters, but this just don't work. Must always repeat a formula or combo many times to take down the Monsters. And against each different monsters, there is a Knack (a smart way) to kill them fast without being hurt our selves. Even the very last Lady Boss: Persephone, Goddess of the undead. I managed to beat this boss without being hurt my self... well after many trial and errors of course.

Below is how I did it:

In God Mode, against Persephone,
1st Half, using Gauntlet of Zeus,
Persephone will fly up and charge towards Kratos, double jump high at right timing and she cannot harm or catch Kratos, use L+O to hang on the air while hitting Persephone. If you manage to do at least 4-hit combo, Persephone will step back and use the Earth Projectile Attack. Double Jump head on towards Persephone and use L+□ (charged) attack against her while evading the projectile. Once you hit the ground, quickly roll back 2 times to evade her counter attack. Then she will then fly up and charge towards Kratos again, thus repeat the same formula all over again until her health depletes to half full.

2nd half、Gauntlet of Zeus
With trial and error, I found out that Kratos can neutralize the death ray of Persephone by evading/diving/rolling very straight towards the ray. For her Green Projectile attack, you can just defend it with the shield, or use Shield to reflect the Green Ball towards Persephone. She can reflect back to Kratos and Kratos can reflect back again towards Persephone, like playing Ping Pong, until Persephone is tired and will eventually hit her. This reflect projectile delivers the highest amount of Damage to Persephone. While she is hanging on the pillar resting after suffering the attack, just do double jump and hit with △　□　△ combo to max out the damage, Repeat it until she flies up again.
And while she is doing the earth quake thingy, just be near to the pillar she was standing, evade 2 earth quake attacks by moving left and right and then double jump and press L+O (Gauntlet of Zeus) to hang in the air while attacking her. The earth Quake will wears off without hitting Kratos.
The best time to take her down is when she project the Green Ball and play Ping Pong with her.

Well, the thrill of finishing the Enemies stages by stages is really good. The feeling is just awesome when I finally finished the whole game, as if I have achieved the unachievable and everything seems to be a piece of cake liao.

This game is by far the hardest action hack and slash game I have ever played and the most thrilling and rewarding one.

Every one who owns a PSP should give this a try!!
