    The "Extreme" is for the game's extremely inconsistent level design.

    StarDrone Extreme is a game that most people will beat in a couple of hours. But I think many will return to improve their high scores. If you get used to the controls and the tempo it's a real bargain and very entertaining, despite its flaws.

    It's a hint of what could be a fun little title, if the level design was scripted tighter.

    If you can see past StarDrone's awful Level Skipper DLC shenanigans, there's a decent little puzzler to spend an evening with.

    However, drastic spikes in the difficulty still pop-up at bizarre intervals, and being asked to shell out 99 cents to skip the random ultra brutal stages each time they appear feels like an insult. Pay to not play? No thanks. [July 2012, p.85]

    It never reaches the breakneck speeds you're hoping for. [June 2012, p.115]

    If you've played the PlayStation Move version (which is easier to control and doesn't have fingers getting in the way of the screen) on the PS3, then leave this one be. It's the same 60 levels, plus a few Vita exclusive levels added for good measure. But it's not enough for warrant a second purchase.

    Awesome high performance action puzzle. Purchased one together with PS Vita (got PS3 version already).
    First what I tested was Cross Play    Awesome high performance action puzzle. Purchased one together with PS Vita (got PS3 version already).
    First what I tested was Cross Play feature - i've transferred via Cloud all my scores and unlocks to PS Vita and started to play new, exclusive levels. The PS Vita touch screen is a bit smaller than PS3 so finger frequently overlap view area but I've switched to rear touch pad and its worked perfectly. A little more training an im in top 10 of scoreboards (which also shared with PS3).
    The gameplay is basically mashup pinball/Sonic run/flow and a little of Angry Birds Space. The PS Vita version performs well, featuring new touch based UI. Live Area also worth to mention - its shows current player profile, very convenient. If you ask me - i highly recommend this one for PS Vita (and PS3 if you want).    … Full Review »
