As Kat weaves in-between buildings, under archways, around spires, and through tunnels, there is this sensation that's bound to overcome whoever is controlling her. It's not just about defying gravity; it's about making it their own.

Gravity Rush could have gone so differently. Originally released on the PS Vita back in 2012, it was a shining light in what the handheld console could manage. Sadly the PS Vita has a tiny user base outside of Japan, so to have the original move over to the PS4 was a saving grace by all accounts.

Outstanding visual design; Excellent world design with a sense of verticality that is unmatched by any other game; A host of well designed content that sounds pointless; but is surprisingly great to play through

Confusing story choices; particularly putting the end credits 3/4 of the way through the game; The final chapter of the game goes against everything before it and puts you on a linear path; Camera is easier to control; but it can still leave you completely lost every now and then

Gravity Rush 2 hits all the same notes as the first game, but in better and more refined ways. The combat is still pretty dull, but it takes less of a focus this time around. Everything else is much improved, and given how well the first game was received, that's high praise.

There's a pure, exhilarating joy to the way Gravity Rush 2 , like its predecessor, allows one to shift gravity on cue-to recklessly fall through the sky in order to fend off the monstrous, gelatinous Nevi. And yet, there's a constant sinking feeling about the whole affair.

Concept: Take Kat's gravity-defying powers and explore larger, more diverse environments Graphics: The locales are dense, gorgeous, and allude to real-world locations like S?o Paulo, London, and upstate New York Sound: Kohei Tanaka's score captures the feeling of soaring around each city...

A hallmark of excellence. It may have some flaws, but they are negligible to what is otherwise a supreme title.

Just as charming as the original, but the improved combat and clever new gravity abilities make for a notably better game.

The gravity controls work very well and the newly expanded combat is a lot more interesting than before; Excellent art design and Kat is a great protagonist

Slow and uninteresting start, and the story and supporting characters are still fairly weak; Low tech graphics limit the visual impact

Gravity Rush was pretty much a hidden gem on PS Vita. Since the remastered version hit PS4, however, it's become clear that it's an experience that also translates well to the big screen.

Kat's always been endearingly clumsy as protagonists go - in contrast to her super-ally Raven she's a headlong mess of hair, legs, scarf, flapping awkwardly through the sky and colliding with the ground in a shower of grit.

Gravity Rush 2 is a flawlessly beautiful set of mechanics wrapped in gorgeous sets, classy music, and a necessary plot. You play Kat, a gravity shifter who very recently saved her city from total destruction.

Crazy beautiful graphics; Flying and fighting is still amazing; Hot new fighting styles

Too many fetch quests; Plot feels uneven at times; Upgrade system is worse than last time
