Vita reviews are a joke!

It's actually quite a good score for Atelier.  The other games mostly score in the 65-75 range because reviewers just don't like/get the series.  By only having 4 reviews of people who seem open minded to cute moe RPG's, it's actually done quite well for itself.

It does bring up the issue of the other 79 reviewed games, though.  WipEout & NFS in particular stand out to me as being under-scored for being handheld games.  I remember the IGN reviews in particular for WipEout saying "It doesn't run at 60 FPS like WipEout HD" (a home console game) and their NFS review saying "It doesn't look as good as the home console versions".

Gah those NFS reviews aren't worth the bandwidth they take up! I've gone back on it again now trying to get 100% completion (22 hours and counting!) and it plays exactly the same as the PC version. I think that's pretty unprecedented for racing games on hand helds, it also actually holds up really well graphically and the frame rate for the most part is very smooth. Look at how much they had to cut out of NFS The Run on 3DS 2 years ago.

Wipeout on Vita is the definitive Wipeout once you add the HD/Fury DLC pack to it. It's awesome to finally have a selection of decent portable racers that don't involve tilting your screen to steer or plugging in an extra controller.
