Sony PSP Go Hands-On

We had time to play with the Sony PSP Go and here are our first impressions: The format is nice, it is much smaller than the product photos would have you think. That is definitely a pocket device. It feels small and light and it is also comfortable in my hands. All the games demonstrated were fairly fast, and normally, everything PSP app be as fast – or faster – than a PSP. No problem there.

The controller is OK for most games but we know that many of you would miss an analog stick. Fortunately, I’m an old school player, so I can deal with the standard direction control. There’s one thing that worries about the buttons on the right: they are a little small. It’s OK when playing games that don’t require a difficult string of buttons, but something like a tap game (Guitar hero) or a fighting game (Tekken) might be problem because there might not be room for more than one finger.
