The PS Vita’s launch lineup is one of the longest and most impressive we’ve ever seen, but many of the titles on offer are either ports or handheld adaptations of games already available on PS3.
Gravity Rush, however, represents something fresh and exciting for seasoned gamers. This action-adventure title from SCE Japan Studio was originally scheduled to be released during the PS Vita’s ‘launch window’ in the US, but has since been pushed forward to launch day - February 22nd.
The PS Vita launched across Japan on Saturday, and shoppers queued through the early hours of the morning to be the first across the world to buy Sony’s new handheld.
