FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I've been having a bunch of fun playing with the Vita over the past few days. I've mostly been playing Killzone Mercenary, and I've been absolutely floored by how well the gameplay of that FPS has translated into a handheld version. Actually in some ways Mercenary is better than the console versions, since every stage has multiple paths and it's possible to get through the game with stealth or firepower.
The console itself is a beauty. I think the IPS display, while it's not OLED, is still pretty brilliant. To be honest I think the tradeoff for a lighter weight and longer battery life was absolutely worth it.
I find that grip on the console can be a little bit uncomfortable, particularly because the natural place where my index fingers rests on the trigger buttons isn't actually the best place to activate them. Maybe I have huge hands. In short bursts it's fine, but for longer sessions my hands can get a bit tired.
I've also been very impressed by the battery life. Compared to playing games on my iPhone, where I can make the choice of being entertained or being able to make phone calls, not both. :P
I can now see why the Vita has an industry leading attach rate - the people buying them are probably people who know exactly what games they want the console for.
