Major improvements to the cooperative mode coupled with the Vita's portability make this the best version of the already excellent Spelunky.

Essentially the same game as last year's Xbox 360 rendition, Spelunky takes on a new and better life on Vita. Its tragically brief play sessions fit perfectly in a portable format. Just don't throw your system in anger, OK?

Those who missed out on the XBLA release of Spelunky and want a good tough rogue-like should pick it up from Steam. It's a little more based on reflexes than most rogue-likes, but even if you find out you're not that good at it, it is still a riot to watch friends try to get as far as the can before making the wrong step and getting crushed by a boulder.

There is no question: this is the version of Spelunky that you should purchase. Even though the game was released on Xbox 360 over a year ago, the cross save and cross buy interaction between PS3 and Vita – along with the Vita's ability to deliver instantaneous spelunking – make this the ultimate port of a superb game.
