Review: Killzone Mercenary (Vita)

Review by Matt S. 

The genre that Vita owners have been crying out for like none other is the shooter. With a powerful processor, nice wide screen and dual control sticks there is every reason that we should have had many entertaining shooters so far on the console, but we just haven't.

With many attributing the lack of shooters for the Vita's poor showing in the western markets to date, eyes turned to Killzone Mercenary to reverse the fortunes of the console. Good news! It does. While Killzone Mercenary is perhaps not the outright classic shooter that will sell Vita consoles by the shipload, but it's certainly an A-grade game that will help people recognise that the Vita does, in fact, have titles of note.
