Sports Games

In the video games it seems impossible to keep a secret, including leaks and images, incomplete versions regularly (and illegally) available in network games still in development and confirmations and denials that do not last from morning to evening of that day; therefore, to discover the existence of a game by a brief press release and then ritrovarselo among those available for direct evidence of a promotional event is something that never fails to surprise. This is the case of Unit 13, the new game from Zipper Interactive, the studio responsible for SOCOM and MAG, which is currently in development for Sony's new handheld console, the PlayStation Life, and slated for a date not too far from the launch the console. Not if the zipper went fine after the warm reception received from SOCOM 4, but has confidence in this new project for PS Life. Unit 13 is a third-person shooter environment of modern military, behind the project is the desire of developers to offer gameplay really "portable" and not a forced adaptation of situations already seen on home consoles.

As already mentioned, the heart of Unit 13 is represented by shootings in the third person, of which we had a small taste during our short direct proof of a few days ago. The control system is the standard to which we are accustomed, with the left stick dedicated to movement and the right stick used to move the camera, while the touch screen of the console is used to launch grenades, take aim with the weapons, recharge ammunition and interact with the environment. The enemies are smarter than average, seemed to those who often meet in similar games, and instead of standing still waiting to be killed, ran for shelter from our fire, and offered a good challenge. The clashes have elements of arcade-like points that we receive every time you eliminate an enemy stealth kills and head shots are rewarded with a greater amount of points and delete multiple enemies in order to help raise the combo meter, which further increases the score. The level that we faced was set in a military base that has particularly impressed by its originality, but the design of the map is sufficiently complex and appeared in a couple of occasions we found ourselves faced with the possibility of taking a road rather than another. The developers have paid much attention to this aspect of the game and are planning to offer a sufficient variety of approaches to the players.
