  • Summary: Konami's first entry into the FPS genre, Coded Arms takes place in an abandoned virtual reality system and its portal site inside a giant computer network. The VR system was originally created as a combat training simulator in the event of an alien invasion. However, during the development of the simulation program, a major flaw was discovered and development was cancelled and left abandoned. During this time when the program was not monitored, it kept evolving within the computer network and eventually turned into a vast and brutal VR world populated with virtual alien invaders, dangerous computer bugs and the VR system’s own security bots. Players assume the role of a computer hacker who infiltrates the abandoned virtual reality system. Gamers use up to 30 weapons and power-ups that they discover while exploring the expansive single player mode. Coded Arms utilizes the PSP handheld system's wireless capabilities for multiplayer action for up to four people. [Konami]… Expand

    With a great premise and a visionary artistic style to match, Coded Arms delivers a solid action-packed shooter for both single and multiplayer gamers.

    The white-hot fire fights are so intense they actually made our underarms moist. The PSP screen practically shudders with explosions, shotgun fire and discarded shell casings.

    Konami did a great job making their first-person shooter look great. I can't stress this enough – I love this game's sense of style.

    Maybe if this blah shooter had better controls - and maybe if you haven't played a first-person bast-em-up since 1995 - it would be worth your time. Ah, who am I kidding. Coded Arms would still suck. [Aug 2005, p.119]

    I think that this came as a low score becuase it take about 2days to understand. The reason that this is probably the best FPS is that its the only one for the PSP out now thats a full-blown shooter. The reason i think its a 10 is because the visuals look and feel great. This is a must get game for any PSP owner!! DAVID SOMEN RULES!! which is my old friend i said about in a review in thug2.… Expand

    Lets face it consols are just not the right platform for 1st peson shooters. consols are great for fighting games driving games puzzle games and platform games just not FPS games and stratagy games. now before you shoot me down here are the good points of the game, it looks great and there are plenty of action moments the down side is that the PSP is not made for fast FPS, its just to cumbersome. those of you out there who have never played a FPS the way its ment to be played (on the PC) will think this game is the best thing since sliced bread. those of you who agree that consoles are not made for FPS will think this game far to cumbersome.… Expand
