    Delivers everything you want from the first ever real first person shooter on the Vita: action, story, and multiplayer.

    A conventional, by-the-numbers shooter that just about stands out for its enjoyable firefights, in both single and multiplayer, and for being the first handheld FPS to really work.

    The series' modest ambitions are here scaled back to a glum inventory of FPS conventions, its spectacle dampened by hardware limitations and dormant art direction, and its platform-specific novelties largely revealed as fussy irritations, presumably born of a need to promote the struggling Vita's features.

    After playing through the single player campaign, I can safely say it's a very enjoyable experience. :) Not sure what the reviewers were playing, but it's a good story with pitch-perfect game play mechanics. It is anywhere from 5 to 8 hours, depending on which difficulty you choose. There is some replay value here, specifically with gun upgrades. This will keep me busy for weeks, at least. Then, there is the multi-player. THIS is where the game got addicting. I absolutely LOVE the multi-player. You get into the matches very quickly, also...unlike any PSP game. Lol. If you pick it up for nothing else, get it for this. I highly recommend the game to any Vita owner. Again...no idea why anyone would give it a low review. The graphics aren't terrible either. They're fairly good for a handheld title. It may not look AS good as Uncharted: Golden Abyss or Wipeout 2048, but it's pretty close. It's a must-buy!… Expand

    Games like these make me wonder why I bought a vita. The only thing good about this is that gravity rush is amazing and that I will buy. Anyways, you people should open your eyes. This game is easily platinumd at the first playthrough, 5 to 6 hours of single player. The multiplayer looks like a weak mobile version. Sony brainwashed you with videos of an amazing FPS experience on the Vita. This game is mediocre at its best. This is just a FPS beta test for the Vita, so all other games come out better in the future. Buy this if you really want an FPS, right now. Otherwise wait for killzone or something better.… Expand

    This is game (after the surprisingly good orginal trilogy for the ps3) leaves nothing behind but a sour taste and memories of a dull, uninspiring and short campaign. Don't take the metascore at face value either, this game is defintly lower than a 6, just all the playstation blogs and magazines are the only ones giving it decent reviews.… Expand
