Some players might complain about a lack of innovation; to be fair, this is very much an iterative sequel that doesn't drastically change the God of War formula in any way. Fun as they may be, Thera's Bane and the new charge attack that lets you ground-pound or throw an enemy don't really change things that much. But everything is put together so well that, unless you've become truly tired of the franchise, Ghost of Sparta is well worth playing. This portable title, while it may not be the best or most original entry in the series, is more than worthy of the God of War name.
