Well I find its processor while not as powerful can still stand up to the galaxy s2, the screen is amazing, it uses the same screen as the high end bravia TVs, all in all it makes for epic gaming but I have had some issues with it regarding storage. It comes with an 8gb sdcard but the Better games Are 500 mb and upwards eg. NFS hot pursuit and shift. I had to buy a 32gb.
Don't even get me going on Hot Pursuit, lol... on my phone, the game wouldn't connect to the servers to download the data, and it took me a few hours over the course of a week to figure out that I had to reset the DPI to a stock 320 instead of 240. Such BS.
But whoa. The Play has always looked nice for sure but having the same screen as a Bravia tv sounds pretty awesome
