Later this year, the Vita will receive an exclusive Killzone game named Killzone: Mercenary. In it, you play a merc who takes on missions contracted from both Helghast and ISA. I was told there are nine total campaign missions, but I couldn’t get an answer as to whether the player chooses competing bids or jobs from the Helghast and ISA before each mission, or if all missions are pre-determined.

Graphically, KZM looked excellent. I thought the draw distance in what I saw was very good and the graphical fidelity of the weapons and nearby enemies was beautiful. Touchscreen controls allow you to run and interact with your HUD (to change weapons for example) and to pick up items on screen. A significant multiplayer mode is included but I was unable to test this.
KZM looks like it will easily be the best FPS on the Vita when it launches this Fall, although its competition is very thin. Stay tuned for more coverage later this year.
