    This game is perfect for that rainy Sunday afternoon where you know you can download this and let your kids while away a few hours without having to worry about them too much.

    Flyhunter Origins has well-written characters and fun level-design, but performance issues hold it back from being a great PS Vita platformer.

    Even with the small enough growing pain in regards to the framerates, this tiny Janitor’s adventure is one worth having.

    Flyhunter Origins features a wacky and fun story, and gives players a beautiful view at what the world look like at the size of a tiny bug. This, however, is marred by the game’s incredible lagginess and short length, but during the short time that it took me to complete the game, I had fun.

    It's got a cute setup and OK controls, the graphics aren't as good as they look at first and the gameplay is dated and can be straight up boring.

    Flyhunter Origins could have been a decent way for young players to spend an afternoon. The stages may not be expertly designed, and the enemies are way too easy, but the game is short enough to feel fulfilling without dragging on and the mechanics are solid enough.

    It's not going to evoke strong feelings in you, and it generally seems to exist just so other games can seem way, way better and way, way worse.

    What could have been a solid action game is marred by a number of technical problems and repetitive level designs. Young gamers may enjoy the memorable characters, but everybody else will find the inconsistent frame rate too frustrating to enjoy. Perhaps Flyhunter Origins should have stayed on iOS.

It is wonky, buggy (including having to start the level over) and has a terrible framerate but still is a lot of fun. Nothing new here but it does manage to have a certain amount of charm including cutsey cut scenes and pretty good art. Not hard at all as it seems to be aiming at a kid market that I am not sure exists on the Vita. I would never recommend this over the Raymond 2D games on Vita except maybe for a kid where Raymond can get very difficult. Good value as there is a good amount of content for the $7.… Full Review »
