The core gameplay revolves around teamwork, where the player controls one character while the AI partner or a second human player controls the other via local ad-hoc multiplayer. The game features a variety of weapons and equipment that can be customized between missions, including assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, and explosives.

The portable version offers a condensed but engaging campaign with multiple difficulty levels, encouraging replayability. The visuals are optimized for the PSP screen, with a consistent frame rate during most combat sequences. The control scheme is adapted for the handheld, using the analog stick for movement and face buttons for actions such as reloading, taking cover, and issuing partner commands.

Audio includes voice acting during cut scenes and atmospheric sound effects that complement the urban warzone setting. The physical cartridge is built with standard UMD quality, offering reasonable loading times. This title is suitable for players who enjoy tactical shooters with a strong emphasis on co-op mechanics and narrative-driven missions.
