Tearaway was developed to be a game able to show all Playstation Vita’s feature. When you heard this, you probably thought that’s a bad thing, right? It isn’t.

I never saw a game so good trying to show all of its console could do. Maybe Astro’s Playroom for PS5 has the same sucess.

Tearaway is 3D plataform game like Mario. The gameplay is nothing special but the way they use the Playstation Vita’s features makes this game a special one.

The story is about a creature who needs to deliver a mail to the sun, a mistic and mysterious creature who lives in another world. Who is the sun? You!

The game is always using the Playstation Vita’s camera. When you see the sun in this world, you are there.

How do we face the enemies? Using the touch part of the Playstation Vita’s back. In the game, you’ll see a finger emerging from the earth and doing the same moviments as you do.

They tell that the sun is helping the creature in its journey. That’s prety fun how they make you part of the story.

Tearaway is a really good 3D plataforma and it’s probably the best game that uses the Playstation Vita’s feature. You should play it if you have the chance!

You're damn right. Tearaway absolutely blew me away when I played it for the first time on Vita, and I don't think any game understands the workings of its system better than Tearaway if that makes sense. It's a shame that the original is forever relegated to the Vita, but at the same time, I can't imagine any other way it would play out.

@Drax That's the point. It's a game that's impossible to be ported to other platform. It's so sad to think this game will be lost forever in a failed console.

I tried the PS4 version and kind of hated it.

Just to back up your points about the platform :)

@FallenGrace I'll never probably try the PS4 version. It's impossible to get close to what they did on Vita.
