Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Original gameplay
Where in the user has their player float with no gravity, per controls in the game, to then fall towards objects. This is quite a unique gameplay element that works a bit like flying, but offers less control, which forces a bit of strategy to using the controls.
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 Poor draw distance
Being a portable game, the fidelity and features of the game can be slightly lacking when compared to PC or TV consoles. This is where the game suffers some as this is mostly an open world game but has issue with draw distance and pop in, which can break the players immersion in the game.
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.
