First PlayStation Vita Review Arrives, Calls It “A Beast”

First PlayStation Vita Review Arrives, Calls It “A Beast”

Engadget’s reviewed in full Sony’s next generation portable dubbed PlayStation Vita, and apart from telling its viewers that the new machine should be their “first gadget buy of 2012″, the site praised the console, calling it a beast, adding that once the casual market can render games as beautiful as Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and make them available for $5, then PS Vita will be in trouble. In the meantime, though, there’s still room for this type of portable power for those looking for a deeper handheld experience.

“The Vita is a beast. The first-string gaming selection really gives us a scale of portable gaming not seen before, while the ability to dip in and out remains effortless. For extended play, the OLED screen is sharp and comfortable on the eyes, although we worry how long it’ll last unblemished in the rough-and-tumble of everyday use. The controls, too, soon felt familiar to these gaming paws. The additional analog stick now makes the device a close substitute for the PS3′s DualShock,” said Engadget in its review.

The only roadblock Engadget saw for some was PS Vita’s price and the battery life, which manages about 3hrs of playtime, and recharges in about an hour and a half.

In the end, the site scored the console a must buy, and we know Sony must be pleased.

If you’re thinking of getting a PS Vita, why not try for a free one here. You’ll also receive Uncharted: Golden Abyss free of charge!

    im really happy with mine so far.
    the biggest 2 problems with this is obviously the expense not only of the system but the games and accessories.
    and the games.
    i got 6 games from the launch line up and there all crap!
    shinbido 2 as IGNs preview said feels rushed and unfinished and the controls are as accurate as pissing in a hurricane!
    little deviants is ok, but, well, how fun can it get?
    rolling a little ball around a obstetrical course yay so much fun!!!!!
    dark aliance feels like a mobile game not a hand held game.
    the graphics are pretty poor, the levels are shallow short and boring.
    asphalt injection is ok, again feels like a mobile game just too simplistic.
    real racing 2 HD or even the NFS titles are far better!
    dynasty warriors next, well its a dynasty warriors game need i say more?
    and last but not least army courpse of hell.
    what the ^%$#!?
    no seriously that is the weirdest what the ^%$# game ive ever played!
    as ive been saying since they announced the launch line up they REALLY need some games for this!
    the only launch games that look any good are hot shots golf and power smash 4.
    a golf and tennis game, that puts into perspective how poor the launch line up is!
    when your relying on sports titles……..
    id love to comment on golden abyss but, well, its been downloading for 21 hours and its only at 31%!
    WTF!?
    dunno what the hells going on, its taking forever!
    and thats off my ps3 when i was downloading it off my vita it got to 22% and said it was going to take another 26 hours to finish!
    and no its not my net, i just finished downloading SS3 a 26GB game, 24GB larger game then uncharted in 1/4 the time!
