Fair do's Rayman. Punter experience probably more relevant perhaps but the general review banter was of this nature.. 

"The PlayStation Vita version is only for diehard fans, because the detailed characters models and levels did not survive the transition to the portable platform. It's still 60 fps, but it's a muddy mess at 60 fps. The Vita controls are workable, but unreliable at times. It's a nice try by Armature, but it only deserves 1.5 out of 5 stars."

Horses for courses perhaps?

As I say I trust folks actually using it as much as a review off of the web (apols.. that was US gamer btw forgot the linky)

I barely ever touch punchy punchy stuff so all the intricacies tend to drift me by. 60fps sounds like a good thing for fight stuff though?

Nope. It's a bit rough by all accounts. Bad port.

[Vita version is good - all the backgrounds and level transitions are intact.

Hmm, sounds like a 'buy it when it's on sale' kinda title. Luckily, it was. Now I just have to get a Vita...

So far the biggest annoyance is that I keep unintentionally touching the rear pad which makes me melee attack which is annoying when it interrupts the important job of shooting. Could be a game breaker if I can't get used to it.

It looks amazing. The cel shaded graphics look lovely and crisp on the OLED.

I need to fine tune the controls because the sticks are to sensitive on the default setting.

I got used to the controls after about an hour - no issue now.

It's very good. Still swinging my melee but less often. It's literally all there - all crammed in and very playable

Change melee to a face button.

Yeah but you are always going to have some action mapped to the back.
I thought it was ace but like the home console version I got bored about half the way through. Will probably come back to it though

Persona 4 and Footbll Manager 2014 are both now under 15

I'm trying to buy 1001 Spikes but it's not showing up on the store anywhere. Supposedly out today though. Or are these things region specific?

Not released in EU this week.

Last time I looked on Pocket Gamer there wasn't a confirmed UK release date for it.

I have encountered this problem in Oddworld Stranger's Wrath. It's incredibly annoying and the only option is swap it for the Scope button which'll be even more annoying! Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

@Vastik

Yes. The Rear touch pad wasn't the greatest idea in general.. but it's better than nothing in the absence of L2 and R2.. I have to concentrate on holding the Vita in a slightly uncomfortable, finger in the air, position.

Having said that now I've put a couple of hours into it it really is an excellent conversion.. Just made my way to Clap Traps ship and while there probably is a few less enemies on screen it's still an action packed shooter.. all the essentials are there and so far mines running as smooth as anything.

I didn't try classic mode on PC, always played the full blown version and not sure I could handle less.

Which would leave me either firing grenades or my special ability by accident... maybe I'll see if I can switch sprint and melee around? As my left hand doesn't do it so much.
