"When you have a series like God of War, one that built its name on massive scale, fluid pacing and an extremely refined combat system, its tough to figure out where exactly it can go from there, especially since it has already become a fully formed trilogy with all loose ends seemingly tied up. What exactly could another game in the franchise add or expand upon when it comes to the already solid framework? Well, how about the pale-skinned brutish antihero himself, Kratos? Thats what Santa Monica had in mind when crafting God of War: Ascension, a prequel that aims to explore the character of Kratos and delve into his psychology and motivations during the most important and tragic time of his origin. Did they pull it off and make a game that truly ascends, or are you better off stripping down to your boxers, painting yourself red and white, and running around town screaming to get your GoW fix? Were about to find out." (Michael Urban, OnlySP.com)
