    Same Same Same Same,then again Same Same Same Same. Coded Arms Contagion still didn`t make their promises to make a good game And Entirely Forgettable Map because of randomly generated map.

    The 1st Coded Arms was merely meh. For Contagion, new developer Creat Stuido definately improved on it, but its still not as good as they hoped it would be. I know that FPS's are very difficult to pull off on the psp because of the limited control scheme but in that aspect, i think Creat Studio did an admirabal job.

Out of the FPS's that i've played on psp Contagion has a decent control set-up. The game also runs on a pretty good engine, the graphics while not great, are cool. I would say the main problem with the game would be gameplay. Mind you, its DEFINATELY not great, but it ISNT horrible either, it's just servicable. If ur a FPS fan and are looking for a great FPS for the psp then Contagion is not it. But if ur looking for AT LEAST a decent/passable FPS then u can do worse than Contagion.… Expand

    I am playing this in 2019. 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).

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.    … Expand

    It seems that the developers at Creat have gotten the balance just right with Contagion and served up a slice of fun pie. It may be a small slice, but it's a tasty one nonetheless.

    This looks sharp and, most importantly, feels good as you pull the trigger. [May 2008, p.115]

    The random levels are gone, but the blandness remains. [June 2008, p.84]
