It features high-definition resolution, stereoscopic 3D, anti-aliased graphics locked in at 60 frames per second, DualShock 3 vibration function, and Trophies. God of War: Ghost of Sparta stands as a spin-off nestled between the events of God of War and God of War II. Despite ascending to the title of the god of war, Kratos remains haunted by nightmarish visions. One such vision compels him to embark on a new journey when he witnesses his mother, Callisto, imprisoned in Atlantis under the dominion of the sea god Poseidon. Against Athena's counsel to ignore the vision, Kratos sets forth to unravel his past and, in the process, rescue his long-lost brother, Deimos, from the clutches of the god of death, Thanatos.

About This Game

The Oracle prophesied that Olympus would fall not to the Titans but to a Marked Warrior — a mortal. The Olympian gods Zeus and Ares took this warrior to be Deimos, brother of Kratos, on account of his unusual birthmarks. Ares lays siege to a Spartan village, interrupting the boyhood training of Kratos and Deimos as Athena looks on, and carries Deimos away. Kratos tries to stop him but is swept aside and scarred across his right eye by the brutal Olympian. As Ares prepares to kill the young Kratos for daring to strike him, Athena intervenes, reminding him they came only for the Marked Warrior, not the boy's life. Taken to the Domain of Death, Deimos is imprisoned and tortured by Thanatos, the God of Death.
