User Rating: 8.5 | Coded Arms: Contagion PSP
Granted, the PSP isn't ideal for an FPS. But we can't change what Creat did when they developed this title. They attempted to improve on the original Coded Arms, and delivered.

There is a story in this version, and the voice acting is good. The bosses are a tad easy, but they make you think, and that's what matters. There is online play, which is the real kicker. Though there is hit detection lag online, everyone playing has it and it just makes you see the people you kill die a few seconds late, and you yourself will die about a second and a half after you actually got hit. Not a big deal. Weapon choice in single player doesn't affect online, but there is an interesting weapon upgrade system in the story mode, in which you collect upgrade points in the levels, and can upgrade weapons at a save station or in between missions. Online, it's simply up to the host. The main gimmick is the hacking in single player, where you match up numbers to unlock doors, pull switches, and snatch upgrade points.

This game does what it's trying to do well, although controls must be learned (which I didn't put much emphasis on because I learned the controls in the first one). This game is the best FPS on PSP, hand down. Buy it...
