It keeps you busy until a better shooter comes out

I like the whole Daily Challenges stuff, but once you beat the level you aren't given the ability to replay it to try to better your score. Also if for some reason you have to quit in the middle of the mission and want to try it again later, you can't because once you quit you just blew your chance for the day (I just learned this the hard way).
It uses the Near app, but I can't tell what it does because apparently nobody around me is playing this.
The online co-op is kinda a missed opportunity imo. They were really pushing the online co-op mode, but to play a new level in co-op you will have had to unlocked it in single player first. I was hoping you could go through it all in co-op and not even worry about playing single player.
The stealth parts are not always so easy. I have a silencer on my pistol, yet when I shoot an enemy in the head and he drops dead his buddies will always hear it and will swarm me. When given the chance you're better off just stabbing them.
I think the game could have used more modes, and I have no clue if they have any future DLC planned for it, but the game as it is, is enough to hold me over until a more full-featured shooter comes out on this thing (which I guess is going to be the new Resistance game in May)

===============
This game is from the makers of Socom and Mag so you've got a good idea going in. I played the demo and it was just okay for me. However, I rented the complete game and it really grew on me. It isn't the best thing since sliced bread...but it keeps you entertained. I even decided to keep it.
Pros
=================
1) first shooter for Vita (cover based 3rd person)
2) missions are bite sized so perfect for portable
3) controls fairly well (still prefer 1st person myself)
Cons
=================
1) see my comment about prefer 1st person
2) no competitve multiplayer
3) graphics are just okay

The graphics are really clean and there is no slowdown within the action. The stealth part of this game is very entertaining.
Definitely pick up or rent if you have a vita.

- Great use for dual anoulge sticks and surpsisly good touch screen control
- Long missions to get your money worth
- Amazing graphics
- You can use I think 6 chracters in this game and they have there streghth and weakness and you can level them up to level 10
- 3 other modes like target challenge (killing bosses), dialy challenge (each day diffrent missions with leaderboards) and co-op missions (playing the same mission but with people online, you need a online pass for this mode)
- Lot's of diffrent game types with diffrent rules
- Good cover system
Bad
- No multyplayer mode

PROS / CONS

Really great shooter for the Vita
Has a lot of wepons to select from even down to the accessories
Has potential to become great Vita game based on a patch!
Cons:
No real linking story
No versus multiplayer
No character customization
Not many coop or single player maps...mainly just recycled areas on several maps with missions
Moderate to high replay value.

Truth be told, I don't play a ton of shooting games. But this is easily the best handheld shooter I've ever encountered.

Good bite sized action

There's no real story or campaign, it's all bite-sized 15-20 minute missions with copy-pasted objectives and randomized enemies. You go in, shoot some baddies, get some files, defuse/set up some bombs, etc. Some are timed, action, or stealth.
First thing, the controls are almost spot-on. You'll be able to get headshots easily and the guns control nicely with the dual analogs. My main problem is with angles when you are in cover. Sometimes the game won't let you aim a certain way even though it is very possible. This can screw up tight quarters combat a lot, leading to some cheap deaths.
The graphics are acceptable with nice character models, but boring environments. It's no Uncharted: GA, but it's okay for a launch title.
The enemy AI is okay, but inconsistent. Sometimes they will swarm you, sometimes they will look directly at a dead comrade's body and walk away like they saw nothing. Sometimes they will spot you immediately, other times they'll act like they're blind.
The game could have benefited from a five hour campaign with the single missions as an extra, but Zipper has never done a good story in their games.
I finished most of the missions except for a few timed ones which were too unforgiving. There are "High Value Targets," which are the same maps with a boss at the end, but they don't do anything special except have more health.
There are randomized missions, but after 30 missions, I was tired of doing the same maps over and over.
This is a decent title to hold you over until maybe Black Ops on Vita this fall. It's too bad Zipper Interactive closed as I wouldn't have minded more Vita shooters from them. Something like this with more polish and a story would have been great.

Very fun, rivals most Console FPS Games!

However, that is not a fair comparison as everyone knows that your CoD games are only for multiplayer and the single player is more of an afterthought.
The only annoyance about this game is that online play is a $10 fee for people renting or buying second-hand, especially when you can buy the game for download from the PSN for $31.99. Very worth it though.
This game took me from a "give it a chance via rental" to an impulse buy.
Honestly, would have been an impulse buy if the PSN actually had any information about it instead of their legalese BS.
