Pros
Pro Varying level of challenge
Depending on if the player wants to breeze through the game or play as a completionist changes how difficult the game can be. LBP is pretty easy to breeze through if one is not worried about getting a perfect in each level, but for those that do the difficulty is greatly ramped up.
Pro Online multiplayer
Pro Prequel to other Killzone titles
For those interested in the story of Killzone, Mercenary is a prequel to all the previous released titles on PS3, which fleshes out some of what happened before those games took place.
Pro Was not phoned in
Unlike Resistance or Call of Duty Killzone was not a quick cash in for the Vita. Mercenary plays as much like it's console brother and looks fantastic while doing it.
Cons
Con Building levels is complicated
While there are 67 tutorials to help in this area, they do not cover some of the cooler things that can be done, which means the player will be left guessing or searching out online tutorials. This also means that there is a high learning curve to creation, which is going to hold a lot of people back from experimenting with it.
Con Single player campaign is too short
Coming in at only 9 missions that may last around 5 hours, the single player story mode is pretty short. While there is a lot to do in the multiplayer gameplay, those looking for a single player shooter that will last them a good while may be disappointed.
