Killzone Mercenary reviews

If you enjoy the KillZone saga or shooters, you will like this one on the hand held PS Vita. Great graphics and sound, good game-play and controls make this a fun game that you will spend hours on in the story mode or online multiplayer modes.

The gameplay is fantastic and it looks pretty amazing! The only thing it lacks is a great storyline.

But the gameplay totally makes up for it. The monetary bonuses for each kill make it fun to plan out double & triple kill headshots.

In some ways this is one of the most amazing games available for the Vita (if you hate fps then you'll be all ‘double you tee eff–’, but that statement still stands). It has awesome graphics and sound, it's fast and dirty (who wants Hades-deep, angst ridden gameplay on a handheld-), and using the touch screen to jam a knife into an enemy's head never gets old.

There's one really frustratingly annoying thing about KZM though – you can't save unless you complete a whole mission. The game has small save points along the way in each mission that you'll return to if you die, but if you quit the game you'll have to return to the start of the next uncompleted mission. The only way around this is to use the Vita's low-power standby/sleep function while working through a level so you won't have to start from the beginning again. No matter how this could be argued for by a game designer, it's a really stupid move, especially for a portable title.

That said, it's a winner I most other ways. If (like me) you've found your existing titles a bit stale and you're looking for a reason to want to brag to the world that you're a Vita owner again, this should do the trick.

This is tied for best vita game with Uncharted Golden Abyss! Fantastic console quality game in our hands! Best graphics yet! Screw Burning Skies and Declassified this is the bomb! If you have a vita, buy this, if you don't, but this anyway! NOTE: Take heed of the age rating
