This is a mediocre game for the PSP. The action in this flight simulator is set in space where there is no object as a landmark for orientation, there is no sense of up and down and there is complete enveloping darkness.
The very characteristic of space is there is no sense or orientation and direction. There is a sense of imbalance as you try to gauge which direction you are supposed to go. Adding to this is the enveloping darkness which does not allow you to see clearly. These two reasons only compound the failure of No Gravity, and anyone looking for a well made flight sim will do better to go for a game like Pilot Academy on the PSP. Even though plenty of games succeed in making flight sims in space work, No Gravity, doesn’t and the controls/point remains confusing and unintuitive.
Missions are linear and action is far away from the storyline. Colourful graphics is very impressive with exciting particle effects and explosions filled with impact. The Eurotrash style music is very apt and complements the game perfectly.
Controls of the spaceship are simple and straightforward. Rolling is possible with the help of the double tapped shoulder button, manoeuvring is possible with the help of the joystick, camera angles can be adjusted with the D-Pad and thrust and lock on functions can be accessed with the face buttons.
Though there are various ship models on offer, everyone naturally chooses the best all round model. Uninspiring set of missions take you around as you shoot enemy fighters, defend your ship from them, etc. Mechanism involved in shooting down enemy fighters is quite complicated and cumbersome.
Between the save points, you have to complete three to four sub missions which are frustratingly linked together. With such a random placement of enemy and repetitive actions, the game could have done better without this feature.
No Gravity provides moderate fun for a few hours at most. The number of save points irritates and frustrates and doing nothing else but repetitively shooting enemy fighters takes the fun away. The game neither packs enough thrills to make you scream nor enough excitement and fun to make you smile. Moderate is what it can be termed as. If you are not looking for too much excitement may be you can try out No Gravity on your PlayStation Portable.
