gamrReview's Xavier Girffiths: "So it's certainly not light on content, but it is light in variety. If you sense a similarity to the WipEout series then you are picking up on the fact that members of the now-defunct Studio Liverpool had a hand in crafting the game, particularly the illustrated comic and galactic city designs, but don’t let these superficial similarities fool you; this is not a racing game in the traditional or WipEout sense of the word.
That said, Switch Galaxy Ultra does have its moments of beauty and an absorbing sense of speed that makes it worth checking out for any PSV or PS4 owners looking for an intergalactic speed rush."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."

The PlayStation Plus team is excited to present your next batch of games, available for download on 3rd of May.
First up is tongue-in-cheek dictator sim Tropico 5 – a fully-fledged city-building game set on a fictional island nation. Stepping into the boots of virtual dictator, El Presidente, you’ll guide and direct the everyday life of your beloved Tropicans. Farm llamas, build textiles plants, and occasionally concern yourself with the well-being of your residents, while secretly funneling money to your Swiss Bank Account. Tropico 5 also has four-player online multiplayer where you can battle it out with other would-be dictators online.

Alan has an extended play of Switch Galaxy Ultra which is running on the Playstation 4 console. The game is best described as a fast paced reflex-testing arcade game where you weave your way through levels avoiding enemies and obstacles."
