    Okay, it is a pretty looking version of stardust. I bought it, because it is one of the rare two-button-shooters on the system. There are also 3 types of weapons on the first planet. But when you play the game for two hours without advancing at all - I got stuck before the first checkpoint - the game gets boring very quick: Always the same enemys and weapons don't make you play is as longOkay, it is a pretty looking version of stardust. I bought it, because it is one of the rare two-button-shooters on the system. There are also 3 types of weapons on the first planet. But when you play the game for two hours without advancing at all - I got stuck before the first checkpoint - the game gets boring very quick: Always the same enemys and weapons don't make you play is as long as you might one day absolve the whole planet after 10-20 hours of training basically the same stardust game I played in the eighties. There might be much more variety, but the game is simply too hard for that gamer with 30 years of experience that I am - I am not too good at action games I admit. So, maybe fans of hardcore hard games might like this, but I regret the 8 euro I spend on the game. Expand

    Pretty little explosions and detailed alien foes make this a visual treat, and the frantic action is always absorbing. [July 2007, p.107]

    It can get a bit hard to see where you're going with so much happening, and progression doesn't feel as though it's entirely in your hands, but for enjoyment, sparkle and that 'one more go' factor, this is a hard one to turn down. [July 2007, p.85]
  3. Graphically, as PSN games go, Super Stardust HD is superb, and it nicely combines the neon glow of Geometry Wars with the detailed retro pixel work of the first Stardust. The difficulty level is spot on, providing a challenge without causing a headache.
