Just finished Tearaway. Seriously good game. Really shows off the Vita for great bit of hardware that it is. Thoroughly enjoyable and innovative. Makes you wonder why more developers can't see the vitas potential.

Anyone who owns a Vita owes it to themselves to play this game. Anyone who doesn't own a Vita you now have a reason to go and purchase one.

It's just not better than the ones I listed imo.

P4G was always going to be number 1 regardless of however many games I play on the Vita. The PS2 original is my favourite game of all time. And Atlus went and made it better. I just can't resist its charms.

I absolutely adore Tearaway. It is the game that brings the best out of the Vita.

I'm a big Wipeout fan and thought PS4 missed a step not having a game from the franchise for launch. Cracking racer and stunning visuals.

Hotline Miami is simplistic in its gameplay, but that is one of its best characteristics. The music sets the mood while the game allows you to beat the crap out of people. Gratuitous violence at its best.

Rayman Origins is one of the best platformers I've played since I first stumbled upon Rachet and Clank all those years ago. Beautiful to look at and excellent colour palate. Lumines then, is simply addictive. Once I start playing, I have to either force myself away from the Vita or wait until the battery dies.

I'd have little big planet vita on there.

I think the touch elements really brought the best out of that franchise. Like it was meant to be that way all along. Brilliant game.

Someone mentioned uncharted. Whilst its not a bad game there's just nothing particularly innovative or brilliant about it. It looks nice and for the most part plays nice but it annoys me how tacked on the touch controls were as apposed to say Tearaway or LBP where it more feels like they fit the game around the controls if you know what I mean. As I say not a bad game just not a top 5 game imo.

Everyone saying Origins... ye need to play Legends!

Games that haven't been mentioned yet but could be in a top 5 imo are Gravity Rush, Gaucamelee and Spelunky. Definitely Spelunky.

Oh Virtue's Last Reward is another.

Give me more time and I bet I'd have a lot more too!

murphyebass

forgot about gravity rush but yes that is definately a top 5 game.

i played rayman legends on the wii u and thought it was amazing. I only played the origins levels in legends. Seem similar to me but reviews eohld suggest that legends is a more polished version of origins. Ie if you had to pick on it would be legends.

tok9

Oh absolutely.. not only is it a great game but it also contains the majority of levels from Origins so it's a no brainer.

jaffusmax

1 Persona 4
2 Rayman Legends
3 Miami Hotline
4 Unchartered/Killzone
5 Gravity Rush

I have not played Soul Sacrifice or Spelunky but they would be my type of games.

tok9

Well Soul Sacrifice is free on PS+

I generally play when I get a seat on the tube. Handy for a quick game of something. Seems to be a lot of grinding involved in it. Certainly not the game I was expecting when I initially saw it.

Spelunky is just pure addiction and again.. great for short bursts. Not sure if it's still on sale.

Castle rock is by far and away the best music level.
It's the right type of song and not too hard or frustrating which the game gets later on.

Make no mistake though Legends is one of the best 2D platform games ever made. It's pretty much flawless in every way.

I played a lot of them (on Wii U) with the wife weirdly enough. She wasn't a big fan on the platforming but love the murfy bits.

I played a few of them single player and yeah I see where your comin from they weren't great.

Tbf though you got to remember originally the game was meant to be a Wii U exclusive so was built for people like me who have a second person to play through with the touch screen.

Some are annoying I do like the parts where you rotate the vita to move the level though. I normally hate that kind of stuff but it works so well and it's easy to do. I actually like the underwater levels as well which are usually platform game hell.

The rotating levels always make me look like I have special needs - grunting and moaning while twirling the vita around and getting more and more frustrated…

But in the grand scheme of things it is only a small quibble and Legends would be in my top five. Along with probably Hotline Miami, Lone Survivor, Metal Gear Solid and The Walking Dead.

Honourable mentions for Gravity Rush, Need for Speed, Sound Shapes, Killzone, Limbo and a host of others.

anyone get BlazBlue? lord it's mental

since getting PS4 vita games are a thing of the past for me now, AC4 on remote play take up all my time it so good on Vita

Varik

Was it my imagination or was the Vita version of the Jak collection a single downloadable and trophy list only, it seems to be 3 separate games/trophy list now.

Can someone on here recommend me a good protector for the rear touch pad? I took a look at the back of my Vita last night and It's not a pretty sight LOL.

I just use the front/rear film screen protector and then an aluminium hard case. It's all a nice snug ,well protected fit. It cost me about €10 for the case and 10 screen protector's from eBay.
