The point is that normal sized games have come out of the PSP, and it can be done. Remember that the PSP can't support 360 style visuals either, and doesn't need as much space for them.
I know what you're saying, but it can be done.
GoW is an RPG.

God of War is not an RPG. It has an RPG element within it (The weapons upgrading through Experience you gain in battle that's collected up) but that doesn't make it an RPG. Alot of games did that. Resident Evil 4 had weapon upgrades, but it didn't make it an RPG. Bioshock had Power/Weapon Upgrades, but that didn't make it an RPG either.

An RPG is something that has a Level Up system, Party formation, Equippable Weapons, Armor, etc along with a unique battle system where you Level Up after Gaining Experience (With the exception of Final Fantasy II's Battle System being Leveling up from using a certain type of ability or by being hurt by a certain thing) and a lengthy storyline (Usually ending up in saving the world)

God of War is an action game that has an RPG element within it. Just like Resident Evil 4 had, Bioshock had, and many other games have had. It doesn't make them RPG's or Resident Evil 4 and Bioshock would be considered RPGs.

And I agree that the PSP can't handle 360 type visuals. it's graphics card just isn't that good, but that still does not mean you can just compare the visuals of the PSP games along with games on the 360 and other systems that have those advanced Graphics Cards.

You need to be able to see what a great achievement those games are for those portable systems. Ready At Dawn is extremely proud of this game and you being dissapointed and saying it wasn't a very good game is basically slapping them and all their hardwork to make a PS2-feeling game in the face.

So it's an action RPG. It even has half of the features you're saying only an RPG would have.
RPG is a terrible genre name. Role Playing Game - technically that includes pretty much every game ever created.

I think it's a great game, but it could have been longer. I mean, maybe it couldn't be, most of the long games are lacking in some way, whereas GoW:CoO fills out pretty much every expectation fully except a massive length.
But it still seems possible.

I wasn't disappointed, this game is the only game on the PSP near if not better then MHF2 that I have played. It is a bit short, but it is otherwise solid, with great gameplay.

omg i totally agree that they are equal

^ You're wrong. They aren't equal! One is very good, with 7 hours of gameplay. One is amazing, with 2000 hours of gameplay.

The only thing I was disappointed with was the control scheme. The PSP's analogue stick simply does not approve of being rotated.

hades challenges compensated the short story mode...

i wasn't really dissapointed(maybe a tiny bit) because even if the story was short the gameplay was awesome, But I still think the syphon filter's are the best psp games.

How does the CPU speed affect how long the game is?

way way 2 short it only took be 8 1/2 hours to beat it on gog mode!!!!!!!!!!! gow3 yeah baby!!! does ne1 no bout the 3 urn??? or was it a big **** up printing it in the mannul???

The game is cool and it wasn't disappointing.
