God of War: Ghost of Sparta (PSP)

This item is a physical copy of the video game "God of War: Ghost of Sparta" for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) console, housed within its standard clear plastic UMD case. The game case features the official artwork for the title, depicting the protagonist, Kratos, a muscular, pale-skinned figure with distinctive red markings across his body, wielding his signature Blades of Chaos. The title "GOD OF WAR" is prominently displayed in a stylized, metallic gold font, with "GHOST OF SPARTA" in a smaller, silver font below it. Key branding elements visible include the PlayStation and PlayStation.Network logos at the top, and a 'Only on PlayStation' banner. Towards the bottom right, the 'SONY' logo and a PlayStation symbol are present. In the bottom left corner, the 'MATURE 17+' ESRB rating is clearly visible within a black 'M' box, indicating content suitable for mature audiences. The case itself appears to be made of transparent plastic, protecting the game's insert. There are no significant signs of cracking or major damage to the case itself, although typical light shelf wear or minor surface scratches might be present, which are difficult to discern definitively from the image. The overall condition of the cover art appears good, with no obvious major tears, creases, or fading. The game was originally released in 2010, placing its estimated age at over a decade old. This particular edition represents a portable entry in a highly acclaimed action-adventure game series, known for its strong narrative and brutal combat.
