Jumping between the X button and the right control stick may prove difficult to gamers with larger hands. The one minor downside of the control sticks is their close proximity to the d-pad and the face buttons. They sit close enough to the system’s surface that they don’t feel like they will catch on things when the device is hastily stuffed into a backpack or pocket. They lack the same range of movement and don’t double as buttons when pressed, but they feel perfect for the handheld system. These sticks aren’t replicas of those on the PlayStation 3 controller, but they’re close. It also makes you forget you are playing a handheld. The importance of the built-in dual control sticks cannot be understated it’s the primary element that sets the Vita apart from the PSP, the 3DS (which only offers a second analog stick via a peripheral), and game-friendly mobile phones. Thankfully, this design doesn’t hinder the responsiveness. The d-pad has the same satisfying click of the face buttons, but where the DualShock 3 breaks the d-pad into four separate buttons, the Vita has one solid piece of plastic with no separation. The shoulder buttons feel more similar to the later PSP models, offering the slight illusion of a trigger without actually having it. The face buttons click responsively but lack the soft, pressure-sensitive push of the PlayStation 3 buttons. Though it has a similar layout, the buttons feel different compared to the DualShock 3 controller. It doesn’t dig into your palms, and the chassis is rounded on the sides so there are no uncomfortable sharp edges. It’s larger than any of the other competing handheld devices (including mobile phones), but it’s never unwieldy. The sleek and sturdy Vita feels great in your hands. Video playback looked great on the screen as well. During my review I saw no hints of ghosting or tearing, frequent problems on the PSP. The fact that the image quality is even in the neighborhood of the high-powered console is an incredible feat in and of itself. The graphical fidelity is markedly better than the PSP and PlayStation 2, but not quite on the same level as the PlayStation 3. Though it doesn’t have the resolution of the iPhone 4’s Retina display, this five-inch, 960x544 resolution OLED screen still delivers bright, colorful, and stunning visuals. The screen is the first thing you will notice about the Vita, and understandably so.
