    Una joya preciosa perdida y que muy pocos conocen y conocerán.

    Para mi el MEJOR juego de la PS Vita, y uno de los mejores conceptos de heroína que jamás existirán tanto por su poder como por el mundo que la rodea, un arte excelso, lo mejor que he visto desde hace muchos años.

    Si tan solo hubiese salido en otra plataforma podríamos hablar de una IP que seguramente hubiese MARCADO EPOCA.

    Al principio no lo entendía bien, de hecho haberlo terminado y pasarlo hubieron cosas que no fueron resueltas hasta la segunda entrega pero lo que si destacó es la originalidad de su gameplay al igual que su historia.

    Gravity Rush es un gran juego, el diseño de personajes y sus gráficos son increíbles. Su narrativa y la jugabilidad es muy innovadora.
    Cuando PlayStation hacia este tipo de juegos la crítica siempre los infravalorava, y al ser de PS Vita lo trataron como algo más pequeño.
    Una saga muy recomendada y ahora está disponible en PlayStation Plus Premium y Extra

    I just love how this game looks and feels. And the combat is fun as well. Players probably need time to grow on it though.

    Simply the best game on ps vita. Gravity rush have a really frech mechanics and it's all around amazing game. Story is little bit boring but story is not the most important thing in that game. Graphics are outstanding on ps vita and every location, every city is just brilliant and joy to explore.

    This game is a must have for all Vita owners. It contains RPG elements, as well as an exciting new game play style making good use of the gyro in the Vita. Moreover, the beautiful world only adds to the attraction of this game.

    Gravity Rush rund very smooth on the PS Vita console, and we can notice the JapanStudio hands on the game, beautiful game, lack of good control, however, it uses a lot of ps Vita features which make it a very important game for the console, not disappointed at all.

    Lo más importante de todo aquí es la gravedad, y no solo porque en ella se basa el gameplay sino porque todo el juego, como funciona este interesante mundo en torno ella y el guion se enlazan con este fenómeno natural. Este juego tiene una carga argumental que se aprecia entre líneas (que no es explicita) al igual que juegos como The Legend of Zelda entre más observas más enlazas eventos que le dan lógica a el mundo del juego o bien te presentan aun mas incógnitas y te das cuenta de que hay mucho más de lo que se aprecia a simple vista, aunque en Gravity Rush en ese aspecto el tono surrealista lo hace mucho más intrigante que en Zelda.

    La música del juego es hermosa pareciera no encajar en momentos, pero a la vez lo hace, no sé muy bien cómo explicar eso, pero le da un toque bizarro que gusta. El arte es muy original es como si Picasso y Van Gogh hubieran trabajado con Japan Studios.

    un juego que me puso patas arriba definitivamente

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought Gravity Rush because it was on sale for $5 and I heard good things about it, I went into the game expecting a good time but I was shocked to discover just how much fun the game actually is.
    You play as this girl who has a cat and this cat helps the girl bend gravity, and with your new power you fight the monsters that have split the city into pieces, it is your job to fight the monsters and reunite the city again.
    I don't want to give away anything else but that is the general idea.
    The story, the characters, the gameplay, the art style, all of these things are amazing and well executed. Gravity Rush has become one of my favourite games and I can't wait to play Gravity Rush 2.
    Use should definitely buy this game, it's worth every penny.
    I hope you buy Gravity Rush and enjoy it just as much as I did.    … Expand

    His plot is hardly exciting at first, but before the charisma of the patagonista, anime caricature, Gravity Rush draws attention, thanks to its super fun gameplay, where we manipulate gravity in our favor.

    Gravity rush is a game in which you take control of a woman named Kat. Kat has a cat which can control gravity. There is a bad guy, he is bad. That's it, the story did something special. It did nothing new and yet we still cared for the characters. The lore is what was most interesting, the ideas played with were great.

    The game play was what hooks you, taking control of gravity. This concept has been used before, but not to this level. The game pushs the Vita to the limit causing some interesting bugs. I got trapped in a house and had to start over twice. The rendering distance was fine at times, but awful at others. Trees wouldn't appear until I was standing next to them and people would disappear completely.
    There are points in the game that were weird. They give you an area to explore, but then take it away in the first mission. I feel like they should have given us a little more time to explore the town. There were bosses that moved, which made hitting them a hassle. Which brings me to combat. Combat is great at parts, making you use gravity and ground combat, but terrible at others. This happened at parts which you couldn't fly or couldn't walk. The two systems worked fine together, but fell apart on their own. Moving around large, open spaces made for a fun experience and fighting in one was just perfect, but there are times which you can't do jack because one enemy is in a building.
    The open world rivals that of Arkham City with it's open space, colorful music, and spectacular themes, one being entertainment, another college, etc. it is one of the best open worlds on the Vita. Traveling it was always a breeze. There was a fast travel system, but I never used it due to the amount of fun I had flying through the map. It has challenges that use the games mechanics; sliding, throwing, flying, fighting, and collecting. There are three main collectibles. There are precious gems which are the games currency, gravity gems which recovers your gravity meter, which recovers over time, and health gems which recovers health.
    Overall a fun game with great characters and game play. It is one of the best reasons to get a Vita.    … Expand

    Gravity Rush is a must buy game for the PS Vita. It's an original IP by Sony's Japan Studio with a cute teenage heroine who can manipulate gravity at her will (well, actually her cat companion does that for her, but who cares?). The game is an open world with missions and side quests, set in a map consisting of 3 airborne "cities" connected with train rails while zeppelins roam free.

The game is an open world with missions and side quests, set in a map consisting of 3 airborne "cities" connected with train rails while zeppelins roam free. The graphics are cel-shaded, and pretty nice. The story is good, too, and is presented as a comic book, with strips of frames which can be rotated a bit while tilting the Vita. Gameplay is robust but a bit constrained due to either a few strange design choices or the limitations of the Vita. But the shifts of gravity are what will remain etched in your memory forever. You can freely reset the gravity at any point so that up is down, or left is down, and so on. My score represents the game's originality and quality, despite some minor gripes of mine. Buy it either on the PS Vita or the remaster on PS4 and you won't regret it. There is also a sequel on PS4. Let's hope this series continues even after Gravity Rush 2.… Expand

    A stunning feat of ingenuity from Keiichiro Toyama, the creator of SIlent Hill. Be prepared to shift gravity from one point to another and glide through the streets of Hekseville with the daring and cute Kat and her trusty sidekick Dusty. This game is the reason you must buy a PS Vita.

    This game has the same feeling as Shadow of the Colosus had on PS2. Even the art style was somewhat similiar. This is just as briliant as SOTC was and the only score it deserves from me is 10 out of 10. One of the best games out there. Pure perfection - fresh gameplay, great story, excellent sound (remids me a bit Final Fantasy game). Get it.

    Despite the shortcomings of the combat, Gravity Rush can still stand alongside some of the best games on the Vita. With its wonderful art style oozing character, it’s a game that once you start; it’s really hard to put down.

    While Gravity Rush is not a perfect game (The combat is lacking, the camera disorientating and the story lacks a proper ending) it is still an extremely fun and addicting piece of gravity shifting adventure. The world, with its odd inhabitants, colorful areas and memorable music deserves most praise. [Sept 2012]
