Tearaway
© 2013 Media Molecule Ltd.
From the creators of LittleBigPlanet, comes an innovative PlayStation Vita game that is available only as a download. It is described as a "buddy-movie" style handheld adventure that takes you through a world made out of paper. There are printable papercraft projects, and the ability to share in-game photos, using the Vita camera. As you explore, you tilt the screen and use the back touch screen quite frequently. You can access your papercraft creations through the Tearaway community site (http://tearaway.me). If you login with your PSN ID, you can sync your copy of the game and share your projects. The game was designed by Rex Crowle of Media Molecule; the trailer is at http://tearaway.mediamolecule.com. Our testers noted that "the controls feel flexible and the use of touchpad is amazing. Tearaway also has PS Vita's motion sensing, much like the Wii U Gamepad, and makes it feel like you're holding a magic camera. The final verdict -- this awesome game has left me speechless."
