"Captivating"
Half comic book, half dream, the floating city of Hekseville is dressed in warm-toned cel-shading and framing that defies gravity. Falling toward the sky becomes a vertigo as graphic as it is playful. This singular Franco-Japanese style, elegant and airborne, remains one of the console's finest offerings.
Signed by Kohei Tanaka, the music blends jazz, French accents and orchestral flights to dress the floating city in a dreamy elegance. Each free fall pulses with an adventurous lightness, perfectly in tune with Kat's powers. This sonic identity, refined and singular, is the whole charm of this world apart.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Collector interest
A flagship Vita exclusive by Keiichiro Toyama, Gravity Rush enchants with its gravity-controlling heroine and floating, comic-styled city. The European edition, with a reduced run, has become a target for collectors attached to the console's exclusives. Its interest combines this physical scarcity and its status as an emblem of the Vita catalog.
A cult cover
All French-style clear-line art, Kat soars above Hekseville in a composition that toys with vertigo and weightlessness. The warm hues and Euro-comic linework give it a visual identity rare on consoles. The tilt of the image already conveys the heroine's gravity power, and the retro-futurist charm still works.
Is Gravity Rush still worth playing in 2026?
An action adventure by Sony Japan Studio exclusive to Vita, Gravity Rush offers an aerial exploration where young heroine Kat manipulates gravity to traverse the floating city of Hekseville. The sublime European comic style art direction, unique gravity system and poetic scenario make it an absolutely unmissable reference of the Vita catalogue. For anyone owning a Vita or fond of original auteur games, an absolutely essential recommendation today still without the slightest hesitation truly here indeed for any returning newcomer.
