Reviews around shooter (4.84 of 5)

  • My husband say: "I'm really sure, and respecting all games and gamers, this is for me the best shooter game for the PS Vita
  • This is probably the best shooter on the vita right now and I would highly recommend fans of the KZ series to give this game a try and also those new to the series
  • This game is the best shooter out there for the ps vita, I totally recommend this
  • (First person shooter) game which means it can get control-intensive at times, and it's not always easy for me to move my fingers around the smaller button layout on the vita, but that's more of a personal issue, I don't know that everyone will have the same problem, but for me the controls felt a bit clunky at times
  • Best shooter on Vita, plus is working nice also on the PS Tv.

Reviews around fps (4.81 of 5)

  • Great graphics, gameplay, and one of the best FPS games on the Vita
  • This is a decent game, don't get me wrong and the first FPS that I've finished through by myself

Reviews around experience (4.49 of 5)

  • Now that Killzone has come along we finally have the great portable FPS experience we have all been wanting
  • good game but platform games are still provide a better experience
  • It's a decent enough excuse to shoot things basically and won't ruin the immersive experience
  • The multiplayer so far is the best Vita handheld multiplayer experience I have ever had
  • Along came Black Ops II which could have been an amazing experience, but instead was a literally unfinished game and has been deemed the worst Vita game ever made

Reviews around play (4.30 of 5)

  • After playing Killzone for the past several months, completing the campaign and putting many hours into multiplayer, I can say with complete confidence that this is the best mobile first person shooter I have ever played and probably one of the best games on the Vita
  • By far this is the best game I have played especially for an fps
  • I was not a Killzone fan, I like third person shooters like RE and Uncharted, not first person(i would get dizzy playing FPS before)
  • This is probably one of the most impressive Vita games I've played and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anybody that enjoys a good FPS.
  • You have to collect valor cards (dropped by an enemy when you kill it, or by an ally when it gets killed), interrogate enemies, hack van-guard capsules (twice), and kill as many enemies as you can

Reviews around graphic (4.26 of 5)

  • The graphics in the game look amazing, and the gameplay is very good.
  • The graphics on this game are console-quality, no doubt about it, and the amazing graphics make up for the few problems I have had
  • Open ended levels that allow you to attack each object in a different way each time, amazing gameplay, and the absolute best graphics
  • For a hand held system this game offers great graphics and the game play is amazing.
  • One of the best FPS shooters for the Vita, incredible graphics for the Vita as well

Reviews around story (4.26 of 5)

  • Short campaign, story is lacking, small multiplayer suite, lacks the epicness of the PS3 games, campaign feels very linear and claustrophobicThe PS Vita has been really struggling with great games lately and with the dual analog sticks everyone has been chomping at the bit for a good FPS
  • What I love about this game, more than the visuals (eye-bleedingly good) and the story (pretty good), is the freedom the game gives you
  • The story is good and you don't have to have played the previous Killzone games to understand it/like it.
  • This game has it all, great graphics, great story, great gameplay, and is the best game for the Vita.
  • The story, like many other Killzone titles, is hard to care about, but it offers a lot of fun while I'm on the go to take out my vita to get right into the action

Reviews around person (4.26 of 5)

  • Should be just hit triangle and kill the person then hit triangle, swipe on touchscreen then kill the enemy
  • I was not a Killzone fan, I like third person shooters like RE and Uncharted, not first person(i would get dizzy playing FPS before)
  • If you like first person shooters I highly recommend this game.
  • The best first person shooter on the vita by a mile,hoping for more games like this on the vita and more gameplay length on future titles.
  • (First person shooter) game which means it can get control-intensive at times, and it's not always easy for me to move my fingers around the smaller button layout on the vita, but that's more of a personal issue, I don't know that everyone will have the same problem, but for me the controls felt a bit clunky at times

Reviews around vita (3.98 of 5)

  • This game is no different.******************************Conclusion**************************************If you own a vita and like shooter then you should absolutely buy this game
  • Vita's control is definitely in no comparison with console controllers, frame rates also sometimes struggle to maintain at a playable level.
  • Just amazing!If you like shooters, have a Vita, and were thinking about getting this game, stop thinking and just get it
  • Along came Black Ops II which could have been an amazing experience, but instead was a literally unfinished game and has been deemed the worst Vita game ever made
  • For those of you who enjoy FPS games, own a Vita, and want a console experience on-the-go, I could not recommend Killzone Mercenary more

Reviews around control (3.46 of 5)

  • The controls are fluid, although a hair slow on the look from the default
  • The controls on the Vita work great and allow for some cool melee attacks with the touch screen
  • Its amazing, controls are great, definitely a must have for a Vita owner
  • The controls and graphics of this game are the best for any 1st person shooter on the vita

Reviews around campaign (3.37 of 5)

  • Short campaign, story is lacking, small multiplayer suite, lacks the epicness of the PS3 games, campaign feels very linear and claustrophobicThe PS Vita has been really struggling with great games lately and with the dual analog sticks everyone has been chomping at the bit for a good FPS
  • I have never played a shooter on handheld that felt as good as on PS3/360
  • The campaign is not too bad, and they built it with re-playability in mind
  • The graphics are mind blowing and rival that of the ps3, the game-play is solid and after a little bit of adjusting to the controls (which almost perfectly mirror that of a console FPS) feel extremely familiar and comfortable, the campaign is addicting and compelling, and the multiplayer is surprisingly fun
  • I've really enjoyed the campaign and the multiplayer is great too

Reviews around skies (1.69 of 5)

  • Then games such as Resistance: Burning Skies and Call of Duty: Declassified come out all looks to be lost
  • Resistance Burning Skies is great too, but sometimes there's not a lot of people online and it lags as a result
  • Having played Resistance: Burning Skies, I was let down with how the game turned out
  • Burning Skies was decent, but nowhere near the quality of the console games

Reviews around shadow fall (1.66 of 5)

  • The game plays like Killzone 3 as well, don't expect this to feel as smooth as Shadow Fall did
  • I have never played a shooter on handheld that felt as good as on PS3/360
  • After playing killzone 3 and then killzone shadow fall, this seems like a nice fit in between
  • I have never played a shooter on handheld that felt as good as on PS3/360
  • I don't know what it is about all killzone games including Shadow Fall but as much as I want to enjoy

Reviews around enemy (1.61 of 5)

  • The enemy AI feels like Killzone 3, but has some added flair
  • Should be just hit triangle and kill the person then hit triangle, swipe on touchscreen then kill the enemy
  • Touch the screen to open doors, pick up ammo, set a bomb, and kill your enemy with a mele
  • In the campaign, the enemy AI isn't great, but not awfully substandard by any measure
  • You have to collect valor cards (dropped by an enemy when you kill it, or by an ally when it gets killed), interrogate enemies, hack van-guard capsules (twice), and kill as many enemies as you can

Reviews around melee (1.61 of 5)

  • The controls on the Vita work great and allow for some cool melee attacks with the touch screen
  • The graphics are probably the best I've seen on the vita and the touch screen integration is extremely fun (being used for "brutal melee", hacking, and vanguard abilities/ perks), and in most cases can be replaced by button commands if you prefer
  • And the brutal melee kills are awesome to pull, just a simple swipe on the screen.graphics: this has to be the prettiest game on the vita so far, i think it surpasses those of uncharted
  • I can't believe how good the graphics look the implementation of touchscreen while doing Melee moves his creative but wish it was an option although it doesn't hinder from the gameplay I highly recommend this game if you love first person shooters this is a no-brainer, I have played multiplayer and it works
  • It's so satisfying to sneak up behind someone and execute a brutal melee kill or start getting a kill streak going
  • Read remaining 9 reviews for melee

Reviews around zone (1.00 of 5)

  • As a kill zone fan is worth the buy have all the killzone and this one dosent
  • walking dead, black ops, and kill zone, and kill zone is the best game by far, its long, lots of things to do graphics are amazing, I though black ops be the best becuause I have ps3 and that my fav game, but when I played on ps vita the kill zone is the best game by far, it is worth every penny I paid, its just amazing, the only thing ps vita people need to
  • I used to play PSP and my favorite game was untold legends and kill zone, and all the shooter games, and right now I'm deployed in
  • FPS just don't work on the vita because of the dead zone on the controller

Reviews around limit numb (1.00 of 5)

  • The only minor concern would be a more limited number of maps for multiplayer (perhaps fixed by DLC later?)
  • the only problem is the limited number of multiplayer maps, with only 6 maps available, although this issue could be easily fixed with future DLC.
