Even given that there isn't really much game to play here, I found this to be a fun and even addictive experience. I didn't realise this was more on the tactical side of shooters with a healthy dose of stealth and difficulty before I went in so I was pleasantly surprised to get my arse kicked on a few of the missions. You will see the same environments at least twice over, and then again in reverse another two times, and that's a genuine shame; Just a few more environments could've helped this feel fresh throughout.

The game handles nicely and the 'auto' aiming works just enough that you feel slick while you pull off fast headshots but not godlike as you likely won't survive a face off with 2 or more terrorists looking directly at you while you aren't in cover. Co-op is (was, given nobody is playing anymore) a welcome addition and the randomised dynamic missions are interesting enough to keep you playing just a little bit longer.

I guess the biggest plus for a title like this on handheld is that I would finish a mission and immediately want to jump into the next one and see if I could get 5 stars on it first try. I had just as good a time with a Vita exclusive like this as I did with Uncharted: Golden Abyss, which I hope is a testament to the gameplay.

I should note, I don't find it comfortable playing the Vita in any capacity without a third party case grip that emulates the feel of a traditional controller. I tried briefly to play without one and it just feels fiddly, particularly on a shooter like this.
