Review: CVG
_______________
Rebellion's Miami Vice was excellent. It was one of PSP's best games of last year. So what exactly went wrong with this new shooter?
Where Miami Vice was a simple cover-fire game that worked a treat with the PSP's nubbin, Alien Vs Predator is over complex and awkward to play - especially on the train. Combat is easy enough, just hammer the r button and tap q if an Alien pounces on your Predator, but navigating is a pain. The shoulder buttons spin the camera and gameplay soon becomes a chore of run for a bit. Stop. Open map. Close. Run for a bit. Stop. Open map. Close. Tedious.
