God of War: Ghost of Sparta is a third-person action-adventure video game for the PlayStation Portable, first released on November 2, 2010. Loosely based on Greek mythology, it is the sixth installment in the God of War series and the fourth chronologically. The player controls Kratos, a Spartan warrior who became the God of War. Haunted by visions of his mortal past, he journeys to the Domain of Death to rescue his brother Deimos, then teams up with him to battle the God of Death, Thanatos. The gameplay focuses on combo-based combat and includes quick time events that require the player to complete game controller actions in a timed sequence to defeat stronger enemies. The game also features magical attacks, puzzles, and platforming elements. Critics praised its story, gameplay, and graphics, and the game won awards at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo and the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards. By June 2012, it had sold nearly 1.2 million copies worldwide. A remastered version was released for the PlayStation 3, included in the 2011 and 2012 God of War video game collections.
