God of War: Betrayal is easily one of the closest-to-the-real-thing games we've ever seen on a phone. The graphics won't blow you away, but they're definitely good enough for your cell, and still manage to capture the whole God of War feeling (especially the eviscerations). The controls are incredibly simple: you move your finger around in joystick fashion over the main key to control Kratos, and the middle button does everything else. You can jump, attack, use special moves, climb ladders, and splatter gore all over the screen.
It's the first in a series of promised God of War cell games. We played it on a Sony Ericsson, although we're not sure what other platforms / phones it'll make it to. Check out the gameplay video after the break, on our stellar less-than-high-def camera.

Who honestly looks forward to ANY game on the cell phone?
I mean, it's not like I'm going to go home and pick up my cell phone for a few hours so that I can finish the latest version of Military Madness.

The game is a lot of fun, and a pleasant diversion. How many times have you been stuck somewhere, and would love to kill a few minutes playing something fun? I always forget my DS, but my phone is always with me.
Hopefully, this is a good sign that cell games will keep getting better and better.

Well, I think I would just rather have a keypad on my big ugly-assed DS and carry it around all the time. In my mind games are not just an extra feature, they are the main feature and the ability to call someone is a secondary feature.
Having said that, I have just thought of the N-Gage and have determined that I am fine with my hand held not having phoning capabilities.
... and I admit to being a little biased seeing as how I doubt my phone could ever run God of War.

I agree. Imagine if the next version of the PSP had phone parts slapped onto it. Of course it'd be huge... and the battery would last 20 minutes... but at least you'd always have a PSP on you. Actually, I take my PSP and DS with me everywhere, but I'm weird like that.

And, I don't normally play mobile games either, but I just can't seem to NOT play this on my way home every day...
