Sound trite? Well, I suppose it is, but fighting game fans and frenzied button mashers like myself like things trite – you don't have to feel as guilty when wiping the blood off your virtual sword. There's a bastardised, action-movie-intelligent version of Greek mythology woven throughout, but what's really important is that you're here to kill everything else. You step into the hard-man sandals of King Argos, picking up his sword after being smote upon the beach of a strange and peril-packed island. The iPhone hack 'n' slash Hero of Sparta was undeniably hewn from the pieces of beat-'em-up rubble left in the wake of God of War, so it's actually very fitting that Gameloft has released this as a PSP Minis launch title. It's exciting and inconvenient all at once, when reviewing games on a new platform, and the Mini version of Hero of Sparta proves that Sony's new bite-sized range of PSP games should be considered a new platform.
