    Contagion is further proof that Coded Arms is a shallow series.

    There is nothing to set this apart from every other mediocre first-person shooter you've ever played, and nothing to make it worth recommending.

    At this rate, Konami should just delete the series and hope that whatever's wrong with Contagion isn't actually contagious. [June 2007, p.82]

    Coded Arms: Contagion might stave off boredom for a while with its relatively attractive engine, recycled hacking mechanics and obsessive upgrading, but its virtually pointless encounters and drab, forgettable air conspire to make it little more than fodder for buyer's remorse.

The reviews on this game were far too harsh. I had low expectations but this is an extremely worthwhile FPS on the PSP (a device that was very short on FPS). The controls are sound and intuitive, the story is limited but engaging, and the game play is solid. The environments do get a touch repetitive, but it has a very good difficulty level and does not hold your hand. It gets to a point where you have to be strategic with ammo and cannot just liberally blast your way through.

    The AI is admittedly not brilliant, but this hardly detracts from the game. Anyone revisiting or looking for quality PSP titles (especially FPS), will not go wrong with this. It is a fun and engaging game. Overall highly recommended and significantly underrated.    … Full Review »
