Jetpack Joyride Deluxe Flies Onto PS Vita

Jetpack Joyride PS Vita
A massive hit when first released as a Free To Play title for the PS Vita and PS3, the Sony port of the iOS, Android and Facebook game Jetpack Joyride was one of the most downloaded titles for the PS Vita. Released last week in the US, gamers in the EU will be able to get their hands on Jetpack Joyride Deluxe when it is released on 3rd December.

Jetpack Joyride Deluxe includes S.A.M. the Strong Arm Machine, a massive robot suit that blocks oncoming rockets, along with a host of exciting new content for high-flyers around the globe.

Players can activate S.A.M. once a day by collecting three flying tokens. Every day the player returns to activate S.A.M. they will receive a new in-game reward, and on the fifth day they are gifted one of 32 brand new costume pieces to style Barry with more bling!

Of course it wouldn’t be the holidays without rocket-powered robotic reindeer! Adrenaline junkies can now take to the skies in the Sleigh of Awesome, another new vehicle created by the young, supple scientists at Legitimate Research. This is a seasonal item only, and players must unlock it exclusively during the holiday period. After that, it’s gone!

S.A.M. and the Sleigh of Awesome emphasise everything that kicks ass about Jetpack Joyride – explosions, sweet new gadgets, new styles for Barry and cool stuff to unlock in The Stash.

The deluxe edition also includes the Wave Rider, a high-octane jet ski, as well as a selection of new vehicle skins and outfits designed to give players an unprecedented amount of customisation.

I have to say that these new features are extremely welcome and long overdue having been present in mobile incarnations of the game for some time. With the Vita’s physical controls combined with this extended content, hopefully this will continue to ensure that the PS Vita’s version remains the most impressive port of the game.
