Feb 13, 2015Without doubt the definitive version of Super Stardust. Some might be disappointed about the fairly limited new additions, but regardless, it's still one of the greatest arcade shooters around.
-
Feb 25, 2015A game so twitchy, it may just ruin your controller.
-
Feb 16, 2015At the end of the day, Super Stardust Ultra is a more polished edition of the PS3 version, therefore we hardly recommend it if you already played it. If you didn't, though, this is an excellent twin-stick shooter that should not be missed.
-
Feb 14, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is a good version of a great PS3 title, an immediate recommendation for the lovers of the genre. While their additions are appreciated, they are not a differential that makes it a must buy for those who already played the game on PS3.
-
May 12, 2015Apart from adding a new game to the short list of PSN exclusives, the game seems better suited to a different audience, unless there are people out there that feel nostalgic for an eight year old game.
-
Mar 30, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is the ultimate version of Housemarque classic released 8 years ago on PlayStation 3. Tons of contents and addictive gameplay provide hours of fun, too bad the graphics has not been improved enough.
-
Feb 24, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is an excellent update of a great twin-stick shooter, and worth the time for both long-term fans and those who somehow missed it the first time around.
-
Feb 19, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is a classic which everyone deserves to give a try, but if you’ve played before, proceed with caution.
-
Feb 15, 2015The high-score chasing shooter Super Stardust returns to PlayStation 4 with enhanced visuals, 1080p resolution, and buttery 60 frames per second gameplay. Yummy.
-
Feb 15, 2015Returning fans won't get much new worthwhile content, except in the refreshing streaming mode, but if you are new the series this is the kitten kabootle of all things Stardust.
-
Feb 14, 2015It's pretty much the original game adapted to the PS4. This is great news if you haven't played it yet, but if you have, then you won't find anything particularly relevant to buy it again.
-
Feb 12, 2015For long time fans of Super Stardust, this is probably a disappointment. There's not much that's new, save for a new mode or two. If you've never played the game before though, this is as complete a package as you'll get.
-
Feb 13, 2015The arcade classic was slightly improved here and there but in the end it doesn’t deliver the same experience as its PS3 or Vita siblings.
-
Feb 24, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is not a new game, and it is not a re-release, which feels a bit weird. It is great to survive in the midst of meteors and lasers, plus there are many modes to try out. It's a pity that the Arcade Mode is straight from the original, because this means the main game is a bit too familiar.
-
Feb 23, 2015The best way to enjoy the classic space shooter today, and it’s just as compellingly addictive as ever, but a lack of online functionality holds it back.
-
Feb 19, 2015If you have already played the HD version on PS3, you wont find here enough reasons to buy again. On the other hand, everyone else should know that this arcade shooter is simply addicting, and very well developed.
-
Feb 16, 2015Not as good as Resogun, but a fantastic twin stick shooter anyway. Really addictive.
-
Feb 16, 2015Still a great twin stick shooter, but Ultra is just a lazy port from the original PS3 game. All that was so convincing of the PS Vita game (Super Stardust Delta) has been lost.
-
Feb 24, 2015Super Stardust is absolutely a capable and fun twin-stick shooter, and this iteration ably presents the experience for the new generation of console.
-
Playstation Official Magazine UKApr 22, 2015An undeniably great shooter, but don't expect a profound update from the original. [Apr 2015, p.87]
-
Mar 4, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is the third and best iteration of the Super Stardust series. It is not a big step up from the Playstation 3 version, but the improved controls, better 3d and some added game modes makes it worth a double-dip for fans. If you have not played it before you should give it a try now.
-
Feb 27, 2015If you've never played a Super Stardust game before, then Super Stardust Ultra is an easy sell.
-
Feb 21, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is still solid and fun, but it's also basically an old game, with some very strong competitors out there.
-
Feb 21, 2015The game is great for what it is and a welcome addition to the PS4 library, but fans really deserve a true sequel at this point.
-
Feb 18, 2015Not much more than an HD update of the last gen version, but still one of the best arcade shooters around and a loving homage to the original Asteroids.
-
Feb 18, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is basically a prettier and marginally expanded version of Super Stardust HD that can only really be recommended to newcomers.
-
Feb 15, 2015It's hard to describe Super Stardust Ultra as a disappointment, because the core gameplay loop – almost eight years after its original introduction – is still as enjoyable as ever. That said, this doesn't feel like the next frontier for Housemarque's revered shooter series – more like a stopgap along the way.
-
Feb 13, 2015If you're the type of gamer who worked tirelessly in the past for a top Stardust score and can't get enough, this is the smoothest package yet. While I may be slowing down with my love for the franchise in light of recent competition, the light isn't entirely extinguished.
-
Mar 24, 2015Super Stardust Ultra isn't that super. It's a fun remake for the people who didn't play the original eight years ago, but for those who have, the formula is the same. With little added extras in this version, Super Stardust Ultra doesn't hold up that well.
-
Feb 23, 2015The power of Super Stardust is still strong in Ultra, but other parts of the game could have used more. The visuals are simply not very modern and the arcade mode is by far the best mode of all. That being said, Super Stardust Ultra is the biggest package of the game yet, but it is too bad there were no real selling points added.
-
Feb 16, 2015Super Stardust Ultra is a fun experience, but basically the same game that we played on PS3 a couple of years ago. Adds some game modes, but in the end it's too compliant.
-
Feb 27, 2015There is nothing at all wrong with the core of Super Stardust Ultra. The issue lies with how much remains the same as a title that came out nearly eight years ago while the studio responsible have moved on to bigger and better things.
-
Feb 13, 2015As great as it was when the series first launched on the PlayStation 3 - but that's mainly because, other than a couple of new modes, it's practically the same game.
