The dual analogue sticks may not quite offer the movement of a Six Axis or DualShock 3 but their diminutive movement provides more than enough control for the shooting of Unit 13, parkour climbing in Uncharted Golden Abyss ( $47.99 on Amazon) and fine steering adjustments for Wipeout. My kids also seemed to get on better having the experience close at hand. In fact having the local screen and the tilt steering in your hands actually became my preferred way to play the game. Wipeout 2048 could be played seamlessly between the main home console and the handheld without any slowdown.

I could also buy a range of PSP games and play those – the Vita has a full PSP emulator that I hadn't heard about before cracking open the box myself.ĬrossPlay, the PS Vita's name for its multiscreen multiplayer mode, worked very well. I could purchase PS Vita games on the console itself (once the Store is activated at launch) or on the PS3 and then hook the two up to transfer them across. In fact the idea of going back to the 3DS's cartridge system felt a little antiquated in comparison – and perhaps led more from piracy and market control concerns than the interest of the player. After all when you buy an album you don't have to put it into your MP3 player each time you want to listen to it. Like on the Go I can keep my games collection loaded on the Vita itself rather than having to swap cartridges. While all this felt very fresh, there is one aspect of the Vita that reminds me of the PSPGo (which is no bad thing in my book being a real fan of the flip up device). Being able to take my Trophy collection with me felt good. In fact I spent a few hours that evening playing Uncharted 3 on the PS3 with the Vita open on my lap to keep track of the Trophies I still had to win.

Having trophies for these, as well as a welcome addition to my portable gaming, made Trophies genuinely matter to me for the first time. This then got me thinking about games on the Vita. You can read it in any number of features the new handheld includes, but more than this its the sense of finesse that really brings this home. No longer able to rest on their laurels, the PS Vita is testament to Sony's recent more attentive stance. It wants to be liked and lets you know it – something that in market-leader mode the original PSP (or PSPGo) never quite managed.

This was obviously much more than simply PSP 2 or a derivative Next Generation Portable as the Vita's previous code names might have suggested. However, the reality of the unit felt much weightier and significant than I had anticipated. While I was still excited to get my hands on the US/European PS Vita ( $249.99 Amazon) amongst the pre-order launch furor I thought I knew what to expect. With the Vita being available already in Japan, and having read various import reviews, I wasn't expecting to be all that surprised by the arrival of Sony's new handheld console on my home shores.
