I already have both games on PS2, but without a doubt will have to get this. Can't wait to play these games again! Kratos is almost as badass as Jack Bauer.

I'm 2/3rds of the ways through this and completely agree with your review Michael. It is truly amazing that these were originally released on PS2, the upgrade in frame rate and to HD make this last generation mega hit one of the greatest to have graced the current gen. Highly recommend importing this to all(or wait for the uber cool GOW3 Collectors release which has these packed in)

i still think a proper colelction should have included a remastered version of chains of olympus as well; as short as it was, it was still a brilliant bit of backstory for kratos

Yeah, but being a PSP title, how well would of it transferred to the HD PS3 format. I can't imagine it would of to well.

So this isn't going to be made available here in backwards land?

Another thing... the import version has a code to download the GOW3 E3 demo.
I have played GOW 1 and 2 many times and still own them (and have a BC PS3 to play them), but its worth getting the collection to enjoy it again in HD.

In relation to the God of War III demo, not all copies of the Collection contain code for same, and the way I understand it, only a very small number of early copies contained it.

Yep I got this off ebay ages ago and it is awesome. Unfortunately there was no GOW3 demo.

Fair enough I just assumed it came with them all. I guess by the time it comes out here, no one will have any use for the code anyway.
P.S the demo IMO was fantastic.

The only local release it's getting as far as I know is as a part of a GoW3 ultra mega package.

Agreed. It would have been worth the extra time & effort to bring this title up to the current gen standard of the original two as it is an exceptional PSP title and is very fitting of the GoW name stamped on the box.

I'll probably end up getting a PS3 at some point for GoW and Heavy Rain.

Good review.
Also agree that the improved resolution and frame rate is a BRILLIANT upgrade. Any good PS2 game would sell well with this type of work.
And don't believe the dodgy comparison between the re-done version and the original PS2 version that GameTrailers tried to show. On screen, the game is way better than it originally was.
