    I seldom give poor score and I have to give this game a poor score. First of all, this game plays like those games on your phone, but only with way better control and better graphics. Expect no story from this game, there are just individual missions with objectives that keep repeating. You will see the same stages over and over again. There are no development of characters and there areI seldom give poor score and I have to give this game a poor score.

There are no development of characters and there are no personality in them, you can actually ignore what all the characters say and the game would be the same. I am not impressed with this PS Vita exclusive and and I expect more from a Vita exclusive. Huge disappointment.… Expand

    You have to pay to play. You have to pay to play with friends and to get the platinum trophy. Thats an extra $10 you have to pay just to play a co-op game and you can only play with one friend. I say friend because theres literally nobody playing it unless you ask someone to before hand. Please do yourself a favor and play literally any other game besides this for the vita.

    This is the only game that i actually wanted to kill myself while playing and I've played hundred if not thousands of games. You know when you play a game and you hate a part or some aspect of that game? Well its like that but only all the time in the game, Unit 13. I hate literally everything about this game that i actually considered suicide, not even jokingly but genuine seriousness.This is the only game that i actually wanted to kill myself while playing and I've played hundred if not thousands of games.

I hate literally everything about this game that i actually considered suicide, not even jokingly but genuine seriousness. There is nothing good about this game absolutely nothing. I was going through depression because i was playing this game and i can tell you from experience that this game isn't worth it. I always thought suicide was never the answer, but after playing this game i constantly reconsidered that. What always went through my mind was "How can an actual human being release such horrendous piece of garbage and than proceed to sell it as a finished product?" After seeing a therapist 5 times a week for the past month I'm better and it pleases me that the compony that made this monsteras game from hell is no longer making games, which is only a good thing from now on. Please i have to worn you: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! IT WILL LITERALLY MAKE YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF… Expand

    Do you like games with terrible AI? Well i have good news for you because this game has the worst the worst AI in video game history. That's right! You probably thought "what about Grand theft auto 4, Aliens: colonial marines, and Assassins creed?" Yes those games do have awful AI but nowhere near as bad as the AI in Unit 13. "How can the AI be that bad" you're probably asking yourself andDo you like games with terrible AI? Well i have good news for you because this game has the worst the worst AI in video game history. That's right! You probably thought "what about Grand theft auto 4, Aliens: colonial marines, and Assassins creed?" Yes those games do have awful AI but nowhere near as bad as the AI in Unit 13. "How can the AI be that bad" you're probably asking yourself and im here to answer that question. The enemies in the game are so amazingly smart that if you so much as shoot your gun, half the enemies in that area know you exact position and lose any stealth bonus. But that's not all, enemies can see through walls, who needs a cover system if the enemies can see right through it. Lets not forget that they can also SHOOT THROUGH THE WALLS as well. Yes that's right a shooting game where the enemies can shoot through the one thing that protects you. When you're just about to finish a mission *poof* 2-3 enemies can spawn right next to you whenever they feel like it. Oh yeah and one more thing multiplayer COST $10 TO PLAY ONLINE. So in conclusion, if you love to pay to play, and love the worst AI in video game history then this is the game for you.… Expand

    This game is the worst thing since communism. Why give the enemies perfect aim AND can see me through cover. WTF I'm glad everyone at Zipper Interactive killed themselves they completely diverse it.

    Unit 13 is literally the worst game ever made by a human, actually im pretty sure the people that made this aren't humans they're monkeys. I rather die than have any of my friends, family, children, or loved ones play this horse sucking dick piece of drain dead **** garbage.

    This is literally the worst game i have ever played. There is no other game in existence that is as bad as this giant pile of horse **** There is no story, the characters are basically non-existent, the AI will make you want to kill yourself. It's so broken that they can not only see through walls they apparently have eyes in the back of their heads so stealth is a no, oh and good luckThis is literally the worst game i have ever played.

It's so broken that they can not only see through walls they apparently have eyes in the back of their heads so stealth is a no, oh and good luck with 'deadline' missions considering how bad the AI is that you're more likely to fall out of a plane without a parachute and survive than to survive one of these 'deadline' missions. Oh and need i remind you if you want to play co-op you'll HAVE TO PAY $10 JUST TO PLAY WITH A FRIEND. So not only do you buy the game BUT YOU ALSO NEED TO PAY TO PLAY ONLINE. I rather have my balls bit off by a shark and my limbs stomped on my elephants than to play another minute of this atrocity of a """game""" They're's a special circle in hell for the game developers.… Expand

    I got this for free on PS Plus a while ago,
    but never downloaded it until a few days ago, then continued to delete it, bring it back,
    and delete it again. Why? Because Unit 13 is a shallow and repetitive game. It controls all right, and I'll give it that, but the missions are the SAME, and not to forget the enemy designs.... you'll probably see the same 3 skins throughout the game.

    Then, there's stealth. Now, the concept was neat that you shouldn't go guns blazing, and kinda reminded me of GOOD games like deus ex, only it was executed HORRIBLY.
    The stealth is of one thing in Unit 13: Hit the O button, hope to hell that you weren't seen by the really
    bad A.I., and kill the first guy you want to... or just wait forever, and punch the guy who just stands there.
    But as if the "stealth" wasn't bad enough, its not really stealth. In games like the thief series, you can at least hide bodies and if they are seen, your dead meat! But in Unit 13 it plays a little like this: NOBODY CARES. The gunplay is also very mediocre! Overall, I went into Unit 13 trying my hardest to like it, but with the horrific AI to the repetitive objectives and enemy skins to the sadly BAD stealth, I can say I'm putting this game down FOR GOOD.
    Also, if you got this on the PSN or got it for free from PS Plus, be prepared to find out that for online play... you need to have a pass, or spend money on an add-on that enables it.
    Maybe I would've loved this if I got into the S.O.C.O.M. series, but I didn't so I hate this, and that's final.    … Expand

    Every console has to have that one jewel. In this case the jewel is covered in pig crap being cummed on my sony as its burning in a dumpster somewhere in Detroit.

    Very bad game.
    If you don't want to waste money or time, don't buy it. Don't download even the demo, because your VITA could crash!
    This is a totally bad rendered game: it is full of bugs, very low FPS and there are many audio and game-vita crashes. The gameplay is the same used in all new FPS-like games (Call of Duty etc.), nothing innovative: 2 weapons, 1 knife, some bombs, always the    Very bad game.

    This game is LITERALLY the worst game to have ever been released on the vita. It should get its own award for being so terribly awful.

    Even if the gunplay and stealth were fun, this still would be the most generic video game I've ever played. Middle east setting, brown color pallet, incredibly dark with no way of increasing brightness, shoot terrorists, disarm the bomb, blah blah blah. Graphics look like garbage and the controls are atrocious. This is the Vita at it's absolute worst.

    Honestly it's pretty rubbish. Very few maps, repetitive objectives, terrible checkpoint system, abysmal story and terrible Ai. On the other hand it has mostly good controls, fun gunplay (for about 5 minutes) and pretty good graphics for the Vita. The Cons outweigh the pros making it feel frustrating and a chore to play. First few missions are ok but the rest of the game quickly gets boring.

    It’s not going to set any new standards in the genre, but it’s a fine foray into the third person shooter genre and proves that this type of game can, and should, exist on the PlayStation Vita.

    A decent 3rd person shooter, which has repetitive levels and fairly stupid AI. The different types missions are a good idea. [Apr 2012]

    The co-operative features are silky smooth with great voice chat and not a hint of lag and the inclusion of Daily Challenges keeps the content fresh and constantly evolving. It may not be perfect, but goddamn it's a hell of a lot of fun.
