Unit 13 demo

The graphics are adequate but not amazing
Date played: August 5th
Platform: Vita
Session fun rating: 8/10

Well, this game was pretty damn impressive. I played a short demo of Unit 13, a third person shooter. The demo only had the tutorial and one mission, both of which were very generic and unoriginal. The cool thing about it though is that it controls extremely well. When I played Uncharted, the shooting was ok but it wasn't super precise. In Unit 13 though, the controls feel just like a console game. This basically shows that when Call of Duty comes out on Vita, it has the potential to be amazing.

Unit 13 seems to have a mission structure that lends itself well to mobile play with short missions that son't seem to be connected to each other very much. In a lot of ways, it reminds me of the side missions in Final Fantasy Crisis Core on PSP. That's really cool and if I feel like playing a shooter on Vita, Unit 13 seems like a good buy. I'll wait until it hits the bargain bin though.
