    PS Vita Gravity Rush

    Vita owners need to check out a game called Gravity Rush. I downloaded it at some point as it was offered free as part of the PlayStation Plus plan and darned it it's not a fun little game. Believe it's reasonably priced even when it's not available for free as well.

    It's a decent platformer where the main movement approach is through anti-gravity via the Right trigger and fighting occurs through kicks when on ground and gravity based kicks/attacks when floating. The story is anime in nature, meaning it's deep in some areas and yet frivolous at the same time for the majority of the game.

    If you're looking for a fun little game that will keep you entertained, give it a try.

    Reviews are in the mid range and metacritic has it at 83 right now with user scores coming in at 87 on GameSpot. I'd personally give it an 8.

    Gravity Rush has players manipulate gravity to save your world from destruction.




    One of the items I thought it did exceptionally well was using action based comic book style story telling, where the screen would tilt as you moved the VITA via the 6-axis. Seemed to provide movement where there really was none. Hard to explain, but if you play, you'll see what I'm talking about right away.

    I picked this game up over the summer and it is a game that I very much enjoy. I am about 7 chapters into the game, but may just start over since it's been a while that I've played it.

    Definitely worth adding to your collection if you own a Vita.

      Finally beat the game over the weekend. I stopped playing in late-2012, mostly due to me spending a majority of my time playing MLB The Show. I started the game back over early this year and for a while was able to crank out 1-2 chapters a night before slowing back down due to work.

      The game was a blast. The write-up by Valdarez is spot-on. I really enjoyed the comic book-style of storytelling that the game used. Added a nice layer of depth to the game. The music and visuals are outstanding and the gameplay is buttery smooth.

        Crazy that it's been two years since this game came out.

            This game needs a sequel badly - too many loose plot threads.

              They teased a sequel last year. Hopefully we get some more info on that at E3. I thought the ending was rushed.

                This was my favorite original Vita game. It wasn't without faults, but the game had so much style, interesting gravity manipulation mechanics, great art and music, and a quirky female lead. They have a great foundation to build on for a sequel.

                    Per TGS 2015, this game is being brought to the PS4, as well as a sequel to come later. At least in Japan, who knows if it will make it here.

                    I'll wait for more details as I can't read Japanese, only going by what the translator is saying.

                      Such a bummer the Vita isn't getting the sequel. This game truly was made to played on that system. Not sure how it'll translate to the PS4.

                        Yeah I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would love a sequel.
