"Malicious is from that unique genre of games that rarely leaves Japan: like Shadow of the Colossus, it focuses on boss battles rather than exploration, and provides a very focused action experience. The plot is very simple, requiring you to retrieve some abilities which have corrupted the world and absorb them as your own. Despite its RPG-like appearance, it feels like a typical action game you would find in an arcade (albeit with better graphics and more mechanics). In between the button mashing, dodging, floating around, and painful resets, it actually manages to be a fun game to play and well worth the $10 PSN charges." | Explosion.com
One of the best digital releases on the PS3 was the original Malicious developed by Alvion. In the years since, the game was also ported to the Vita. The good news is that it is now coming to the PS4.
Great music in the firrst game too.
I should have invested the time to learn how to play it properly.

This week the staff at Checkpoint Games talk about some games in the first segment thy talk about some games including Republique, Infinity blade, some PS VITA games and finish off with some Gundam Wing talk. In the second segment they get political about the new FCC ruling in the United States as well as the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Guess that's why there's no demo for a title that's been on the JP PSN for years. Pity.
Would give it higher than 5.2
The game can be extremely frustrating at times though.
So the controversy goes on..
