While I agree with the technical issues they raise (low resolution looks fuzzy and there are some frame rate issues) certainly doesn't warrant such a hefty lop off the score.

I still don´t undestand why the Vita can´t have a better game performance, isn´t it better than the PS2 hardware wise? Or is it another sloppy porting job?

Anyway it is still God of War so...


It's more powerful hardware, but it's a port rather than made from scratch.

Developers really coded right down to the wire on PS2 so there are some crazy techniques used that couldn't be done properly on any other hardware. PS3 has the brute power to be able to overcome this with raw processing power. But Vita doesn't. So the PS2 ports often struggle on Vita.

At the end of the day though, they're still the same games, and to deem that worthy of knocking off 20-30% of the rating despite the fact it's a mobile platform (where much more inferior stuff gets a free pass because it's a portable format) is really getting tiresome.
