A bit of puzzle here and some speed running there add up to a fun game thats relaxing to play and quickly becomes addictive trying to better your previous scores. The pumping techno / progressive house soundtrack is awesome too and really adds to the atmosphere. Would love a sequel to this guys!… Expand

    not sure why this has crazy high reviews. feels like a meh indie shooter game with some added 'puzzle' elements. but, that's more just another mechanic that warps you around. doesn't feel like puzzle etc, and i'd rather play a shmup. check it out if you have PSPlus i guess?

    Extremely overrated, but not bad. Velocity 2X is a solid, extremely fast paced sci-fi shooter and running platformer 2 in 1. Tempo is really high and it's all pumped up by good electronic soundtrack. But it's true that finishing the game might start to feel like a grind a bit and if you plan to plan to perfect every level to get a platinum, get ready for some serious hardcore challenge,Extremely overrated, but not bad.

If you're a fan of this genre, this is pretty good title, perfectly suited for Vita. 6/10… Expand

    Nothing wrong with this game, but nothing special either. Only play if this is your go-to genre.

    Combining the best elements of arcade-style gaming, Velocity 2X feels like a game with the soul of the '90s and the tech of the current generation. As the saying goes, Velocity 2X is easy to learn and difficult to master.

    Velocity 2X offers the perfect mix of side-scrolling puzzle-platforming and top-down shooting action. With perfect controls, beautiful visuals and an amazing soundtrack.

    Clean, unadorned and never pretentious or ponderous elegance. It's an unapologetically modern game in a classic guise.
