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.


I forgot about those techniques that developers use on the games. PS2´s CPU (EE) was hard to program to but very powerful when developed right. So it makes sense since the Vita has a diferent CPU architecture but is powerful enough to handle the games to some extent.
