The first proper First-Person Shooter on the Vita that you MUST BUY!

This game is incredible to look at and play with. I purchased the game through PSN but I decided to do a quick review in order to try to convince some people to get this game if they were a bit cautious.

KZ:M puts you in the shoes of mercenary Aaron Danner. You are a gun for hire working with both ISA and Helghast. The first contract mission starts out during the events of Killzone 1 where the Helghast begin their invasion of Vekta. You are sent to rescue an important ISA general from kidnap.

As soon as you start the mission, you notice just how beautiful the background of war looks. The game really does look like a PS3 game, albeit with toned down textures and lighting. When looking outside a destroyed window, you can notice giant warships in the distance firing rounds to the buildings making you feel like you're in the middle of an invasion. The AI are also smart and Guerilla Cambridge did a fantastic job bringing over the Killzone 3 engine to the Vita. When you kill a Helghast in one room, another Helghast walking around can find the body and alert his buddies that an intruder is present.

The controls feel just right. Movement feels natural and aiming feels much more precise compared to other Vita FPS like CoD BOD. The melee system is also similar to its console counterparts and is fun to execute. If you hate touch controls, no problem. There's the option to completely turn off touch controls and use buttons only.

The background and areas look amazing and detailed. GC made hardly any compromises despite the vastness of each map.

Multiplayer is a fun blast. The maps are huge and maze-like and provides a perfect balance despite the 4v4 player cap. MP modes like Interrogation also bring some much needed innovation to the tried and true FPS multiplayer.

Overall, if you want a fun shooter on the go for your Vita, this is the game for you. And if you're on the fence on getting a Vita, this is the game that will convince you to get one. I'm having a fun blast just playing this game!Read full review...

Probably the best handheld FPS yet. A must own for the Vita. Looks stellar.

Just because this isn't a 5 star game, doesn't mean it isn't one of the best games on the Vita. The game is a lot of fun.

Gameplay:
The standard FPS elements are all here. You progress through levels and gain experience, which also doubles as in game currency. There is a pretty cool addition of valor cards, which show how well you play compared to other players and on missions. There are intel items on each level to collect, also giving valor cards. Gun mechanics are all pretty good. Integration of the Vita touch screens are pretty good as well.

The campaign itself is pretty short, and is told in 9 chapters all in short bursts. I beat the game on the middle difficulty in 4 hours and 19 minutes for example. BUT, there is plenty more to do in the campaign. I didn't get all intel items, and there are more specialized goals for each mission based around playing style. Precision, covert, and demolition subsets all add a lot to it.

I have not yet delved too deeply into multiplayer, but it does seem pretty good.

Graphics:
The graphics are some of the best I've seen on a handheld yet. The game takes full advantage of the Vita's hardware and is well optimized for it. Occasionally a slight framerate drop occurs, but they are not very common, and last for a short period only.

Controls:
The controls are very good for a handheld. Dual thumbsticks help immensely on the Vita. As stated, touch integration is pretty well utilized to not make it seem gimmicky. It adds to the experience.

Story:
The story is fairly decent. It really stresses the make money aspect of it all throughout. Probably my only real gripe. Takes the player through a semi-standard story. Not overly unique, but certainly not horrid either.

Overall:
One of the best offerings the Vita has, and probably the greatest handheld FPS yet. If you have a Vita, like FPS games, and don't yet have it, get it. You'll have a good time.Read full review...

Blows Black ops Declassified out of the water

I really like this game and it has to be the best first person shooter game on the Vita.If not the best first person shooter handheld game ever. Though there are a few glitches and the game can be slow for my style of play it blows Call of Duty Black ops Declassified out of the water. The graphics are crazy good and it lets you play music and take screenshots (unlike Declassified).Read full review...
