I was prepared to dislike Little Deviants when tasked to review it.  Packed in as part of the bundle for those that pre-ordered the Vita Early Edition, this game has seen its share of criticism and has been likened to nothing more than a tech demo for the Vita hardware.  But you know what?

It feels like the opinions on mini-game compilations have changed over the past few years. What started out as something fun soon descended into the banal as the market became saturated with games that only seemed to exist to make a quick buck.

Takes full advantage of the Vita's control methods; Looks good; Some very addictive mini-games; Challenging friends can be extremely competitive

Getting gold medals will be an arduous task; You see everything far too quickly

The characters in Little Deviants look like the kind of garish plastic toys that you might find in a Kinder Egg. Maybe that was the point. + Takes full advantage of the PlayStation Vita + A lot of fun - you'll be replaying quite a few of these games + Great level of creativity in the games - Some of...

Rear touch ain't the half of it.

As the gaming generations pass and gimmicks such as motion control and touch screens become a system's selling point, rather than just another feature, every new piece of hardware requires its own launch software to show off its capabilities.

" Little Deviants " is not brilliant. About 3-4 hours in the mini-games start to repeat, and a lot of the fun goes away. It doesn't help that there's no multiplayer (apart from pass-around) either.

Well-meaning and well-executed to a point, but it swims at the shallow end of the pool. Little Deviants is a game to play with rose-tinted launch goggles firmly on your face

Takes advantage of the Vita's new control schemes; A real mix of mini-games

As hit-and-miss as a BBC1 sketch show; Nothing to come back to after the initial 'Wow!

The launch of a new system always brings games that are keen to show off the capabilities of the new hardware. The PlayStation Vita boasts a suite of nontraditional control inputs, and Little Deviants is more than a little obsessed with them.

Good use of many different inputs; Cultivates chasing of high scores

Racing game is poorly designed; Deviants are bland and boring; Unpleasantly generic soundtrack

Little Deviants was one of Sony's first-party titles that featured heavily in the PS Vita's pre-launch marketing campaign. Essentially a mini-game compilation designed to showcase the Vita's wide array of non-traditional control options, Little Deviants is a budget priced title that offers a few...

This collection of thirty minigames is aiming to tempt gamers as a launch purchase as it utilises all of the Vita's functions. Except the analogue sticks. And the face buttons. In fact, were one to produce a running audio commentary on the playing styles stuffed into this game, an eavesdropper might...

Some games work very well; Challenging online friends' scores has potential; Lasts ages on a battery charge

Some of the 30 games are remixes; You want HOW many points for Gold; Some games ask too much from the controls
