So... Is this a port of the PS3 version with bonus content or something?
The Vita was already on my must-buy list but I was content holding off for a while. This is going to make it a lot harder, especially if this game is a port of the PS3/Xbox 360 game which is absolutely outstanding. I'd love to have that game with me on the go.
I loved the game on the PS3 and making it portable would be even better. Glad I held off from buying any DLC as I will now be dedicating my time to this Vita version.
This is one of the games where Vita suffers because it doesn't have 3D. Imagine the grappling hook of Scorpion right in your face.
