 On October 18 , 2010 , God of War : Ghost of Sparta – Original Soundtrack from the Video Game was released on the iTunes Store by SIE . It was also included as downloadable content as part of the Ghost of Sparta pre @-@ order package and includes three bonus tracks from Chains of Olympus . Several tracks were cited as being intended for purely contextual purposes , and the remaining tracks rated well in comparison to the soundtracks of the main installments in the series . God of War : Ascension ( Original Soundtrack ) differed from the previously released soundtracks as it was composed by Tyler Bates alone , and is the only God of War score that he has worked on . It was released on March 5 , 2013 , on iTunes by SIE and La @-@ La Land Records . It was included as downloadable content in the God of War : Ascension – Collector 's Edition and Special Edition . Reviewers praised it for being powerful , rich , and pulsing , though felt it was repetitive at times .
