No Gravity Review (PSP)

No Gravity sets you into Ollro 3 in the KROSSO Empire, one of the oldest and most powerful ever they say. After 9th millenium celebrations finish a new sickness emerges that may very well be a mind disease which may have originated in space. It’s your job to investigate and follow some strange radio waves and find out where the plague is coming from.

The GDN Quick N Dirty

Good on many levels, not so on a few. Worth inspecting and downloading to your machine though the story is linear and there are some flaws in the gameplay. Some graphics aren’t all they could be.

In No Gravity: The Plague of Mind your task is to fly space missions with specific tasks. You can choose from one of three pilots that has different statistics in - fire, missile, speed and shield. Essentially the three are missile heavy, fire heavy and well-balanced.

After some tutorial missions that let you get a handle on the controls the game begins in earnest. You play through a series of missions and on each you are scored based on the play time of the mission, enemies killed, friends killed and hit percentage. It also gives you your total play time (4 missions were 30 minutes for me as I was starting out). After each mission you also get the chance to save your progress.

I don’t want to spoil the story for you so I won’t tell you what you find along the way. But I will tell you that after a decent opening sequence to the game the rest of the story is told in text, briefly, before you start each mission. Considering it was a download I imagine too much voice would have made the game far too large to download. If you don’t really read the brief mission briefing you won’t really know what’s going on and then it just becomes senseless shooting.
