While developer FuturLab's narrative nurturing propels the game forward and answers the questions "what am I doing?" and "why am I doing it?", it simultaneously suffers from some cheesy writing and tonal inconsistency. Every stage gets a story intro, dialogue is more prevalent and colorful, and heroine Kai Tana displays a more obvious personality. Where the first game in the series uses only a few static storyboards and abandons narrative development for its entire midsection, this follow-up spends extra time setting the scene. ![]() Storytelling is a greater priority in Velocity 2X, although it's a bit uneven. Its sequel Velocity 2X, which debuted four years ago on Vita and PS4, realized that potential, raising the bar in terms of narrative cohesion, graphical design, and depth of play-thanks to new 2D side-scrolling stages. ![]() The original Velocity (and its Vita counterpart Velocity Ultra) is an inventive, polished scrolling shooter-and one of the best arcade action games on both PS3 and Vita-but it left some room for improvement.
