The game is your standard third person shooter, with a basic cover system. Fans of the old school SOCOM games will feel right at home. Aiming down the sights and performing melee attacks feel great with both analog sticks, the lack of two hindered the PSP's capability of FPS games. The development team utilized the Vita's touchscreen for reloading and using items, it doesn't feel as gimmicky as cleaning an artifact in Uncharted Golden Abyss. When you choose a mission, you'll have the option of choosing from six different operatives. Each operative has their own unique weapon loadout and bonuses, so you'll have to choose accordingly. There are four types of missions in the game, Covert, Direct Action, Deadline, and Elite. Covert are your stealth missions, and Direct Action are the missions you can go through guns-blazing. Deadline are timed missions, you'll want to get the fastest time you can. Elite are the toughest missions, health doesn't regenerate. And if you die, you have to start from the beginning. Co-op is solid in the game, I didn't play very much of it, but it was very fun. Voice chat works as well, which is a must in any shooting game.
