this game is awesome! but a little like halo.this is a RPG game and is awsome!But when you run out of ammo,you gotta find more.You have to give this game a chance when you start out,after you beat a few levels.The bosses,however,are quite hard...Well,the first one isnt that hard,but the rest are! You fight in the game aliens.But there is a real story though,exept in the second Coded arms:Contagion there is.So load up and get ready for a action packed adventure!!!PLEASE COMMENT AND READ AND ALSO RATE.thank you.:)

This is one of the first games i got for PSP and one of my favorites. Though the controls don't seem that great at first, they get easily eventually. I ended up turning off all aiming assists and that helped, but made the game harder. I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't really a ending. It just keeps generating levels. The graphics are pretty good.
Good game, but slightly repeating

Good game overall, except for the problem of lvls being veeeeeeeeeeery similiar. Weapons can be hard to aquire, and armour is not very useful, but the way you can upgrade guns is genius. I have 3 different fully upgraded guns, and they make you close to invincible, but still fun, not sucking the fun out of it. You will need to check online for ways to beat the boss levels, but overall it is fun.
SO TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the first game I bought for the PSP. It is challenging and multi player is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why anyone would not like this game. I strongly suggest you buy coded arms the graphics are awesome and the people that say the game stink have no clue what they are talking about. The game actually is a big challenge and if you don't like the levels afer you beat sector two you can go into a level designing mode in sector three. You can create the levels that you want to play yourself and sector three is really hard to beat because the data keeps writing depending on your skill. In other words if you don't choose to design the next level it is created to add terrain that you are vulnerable in depending on the last level. In order to beat sector three you have to stop the data from rewriting (which is near impossible to do because you have to beat more than 1,000 levels that keeps getting harder). Trust me. This game is a huge challenge. If you love really challenging games, this is the game for you. If not, you won't want this game. Also, there are not any good cheats for the game. But I swear I did not cheat on this game. Buy Coded Arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BEST GAME EVER!

Coded Arms is the first game that I bought for my PSP (costing me 45 dollars). I loved playing it. The graphics were great, it sounded good, and it was the only game I had. But after 30 to 45 minutes of playing it, I started to get bored. It was a mixture of; the game bieng to easy, repetitive, and not having an interasting story. The controls were horrible and even the other setups were unbearable. You have to left handed and double jointed to get anwhere in this game. But then after a month of me using my PSP for movies, music, etc. Coded Arms just sat on my shelf. Then I got SOCOM, Twisted Metal, Burnout, etc. and I never touched Coded Arms until sold it last May (for 15 dollars).
Coded Arms does not hold up to the PSP's other great titles and I was very disappointed with the game. I strongly suggest renting Coded Arms before you even consider buying it.

Coded Arms for the PSP is a game that is more repetetive than anything, and isn't even fun to play. Here is my review.
Graphics: 6.5/10 The best thing about this game is definitely the graphics. They aren't as good as some PSP titles out right now, but they are still pretty good. A decent framerate that usually holds out in mini-battles, that's the best part about it.
Sound: 7/10 There really isn't that much sound besides guns shooting and hearing the repetetive sounding creatures make the same noise to you every few seconds. Nothing special here.
Control: 6.5/10 Like most PSP shooting games, the controls are terrible. There are different ways to customize how you want to control, but this is just another example of why Sony should have put two analog nubs on the PSP.
Gun: 6/10 This game is downright repetetive. Nothing different happens for pretty much the whole game. Get through the level by killing "gate keepers" and voila. You will beat the game. It's not that hard, but it's REALLY not fun. So if you want to play a decent shooter for the PSP, look elsewhere. I suggest SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo. Stay away from Coded Arms.
6/10
coded arms rocks

I couldnt stop playing it. The sound effects alone are worth the money. I only play with headphones so I can hear everything!
This a joke?

I mean honestly were the develporers high when they made this!?!? I mean please tell me. You do 3 levels,city,ruins, and i cant even remember the other one because its so stupid. The graphics are okay for a handheld but wow you do the same thing over and over and is fun for maybe 15 minutes. Dont buy this game. Everyone likes different types of games so if theres nothing else at the rental store then rent it but do not buy it because this game sucks.
good but could have been better

coded arms for the psp is visually by far one of the best games on the psp. however looks are not everthing and coded arms only gets 3 stars (about 69%) for me because the random level generation can sometimes become repetitve and it only changes the levels slighty with longer corridors etc. coded arms has a steady frame rate unlike some of the prevois games on the psp eg. gta. the choice of weapons u get r pleasing. sometimes however in some of thbe levels u get the feeling that konami have rushed its devolpment . eg. some of the levels feel like they could have been made better and the enimies are not challenging enough. Also i feel like there could have been a better story instaed of u being a hacker and randomly challenging a computer game for a cash prize. but if u like a game with not alot of story then tahts fine it just could have used a bit more meat to sink your teeth into.I have to say though konami has added a few nice touches such as when u enter a room the room loads out in front of u when u open the door in a bright yellow mirrage and when u shoot the wall u see the wall turn yellow as if u have damaged the computer programs code. this gives it a matrix like feel to it.
In conclusion i would say fps has a promising future on the psp but coded arms is not it
