Where to begin? How about like this. So many people have been waiting on the next killer App for their PSPs. Is this it? Well that all depends. Coded Arms is a visually gorgeous game with some very fun ideas. I have to say that even though the game case claims there is blood in the game, it doesn't really make sense. See, the whole world is all virtual reality. They're all robots and such. In this one level I was in, there was a swarm of "Bugs" and yes, your character can get a virus. Unfortunately, though the levels are randomly generated there is almost kind of a--shall we say, generic look to them. Sure they're beautiful, and kudos for their first RPG outing, but I still have to say that I see graphical tearing. The floor has tearing, walls, etc; every so often. It's not necessarily distracting, just looking like it could have been polished a bit more is all. Is it fun? It's a LOT of fun. On one condition. If you play it constantly, you'll begin to kind of realize its shortcomings: Generic-ness, Spotty Enemy AI (Artificial Intelligence can either be too hard or downright stupid at times) and looping techno whenever enemies are nearby. The weapons are fun, and the leveling up on weapons is a good idea. I also like when you get locked in a room and get forced to kills between 5-8 or more enemies at a time. Although, I usually don't have a problem scouting out for Health Plus signs and keeping my life above half. I like their idea about the virtual reality, but a DOOM I and II port would have been more than sufficient for me.
