The editors liked
The only Android phone to do gaming ‘properly'
Slide-out gaming controls are well built and comfortable
Feels fast
Decent build quality
The nearest gaming experience to a Sony PSP or Nintendo DS Lite that we’ve seen on a smartphone
Thanks to the slideout gaming pad
Works well as a smartphone
Lots of recent smartphones boast a host of impressive games
And some of them even offer decent graphics
But nothing comes close to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play when it comes to control. The sliding lower half with proper buttons mean you'll be able to control games accurately and comfortably
And it's a lot more fun than using touchscreen buttons. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play also tops the li
Gaming pad is well designed
Sony Ericsson's take on Android has some nice features and is easily compensated where it lacks features
Battery life when gaming is pretty good
Controls really do work
Excellent rapidfire gameplay
Intuitive user interface
Physcial controls better for gaming than the usual touchscreen
More games than the Android Market
Good quality audio
The editors didn't like
Poor games
Poor controls
Screen was dim and washed out
Games offering is weak
Confusing software
Classic PlayStation titles are expensive
Rather dim display
Umer Reports
The gaming pad buttons feel good under the fingers and are comfortable to use
But the touchpads are not so responsive
And the shoulder buttons are spongy.
Unfortunately
Sony can't back up with Xperia Play's hardware with a world-beating games catalogue. Yes
There are some fun titles
But there's nowhere near the same amount that you'll find on something like the Nintendo 3DS – or even the Apple iPhone – and games bought for the Sony PSP are also incompatible.
Gaming delivery is a little disparate
Screen needs to be brighter
It really needs some exciting gaming titles
Video capture is unnecessarily poor
Screen
Launch titles are just as fun on other phones
Controls still aren't as good as a real handheld console
Having three separate places to download games isn't very practical
No support for PSP games and you need to buy PSN games you already own
genialer Spielecontroller, guter Bildschirm, tolle Verarbeitung, schickes Design
teuer, nur für Gamer, noch wenige BlockbusterSpiele, groß und schwer

Zu dunkles Display, Sehr schwer und dick, Zu wenig Spiele für Gamepad

Abstract: Una Psp che telefona o un telefono che gioca come nessun altro? L'incertezza della definizione contiene la natura del nuovo device proposto da Sony Ericsson, un oggetto "di frontiera" che prova ad aprire una nuova strada nella fruizione di contenut...
