    Hard to imagine how such a conceptually simple game can be just... so... dang... fun. Absolutely gorgeous visual married to gameplay that is equal parts exhilarating and addictive. Some great additions to the PS3 version (black holes, new modes, missiles) and, thanks to the dual sticks, about 200x better than the PSP version. At $10 for the basic game, an easy, easy recommendation.

    For 10 bucks you definitely can't go wrong here. Hours of old-school, score-chasing fun. If you've ever felt a need for a nostalgic blast from past then this is the game for you.

    Super Stardust Delta is beautifully presented and controls a dream, and for only £5 it's a complete bargain. There are 3 different difficulty modes and 6 minigames to unlock which are extremely fun! There are 2 different control schemes to choose from to suit you best, an arcade & planet mode, and also online leaderboards.

Stardust is also amazing in the graphics department, with every bullet and collision looking stunning. Music is great too, with tons of great retro tracks. The gameplay is much the same as the predecessor, however, there is more emphasis on switiching weapons and there are also little stardust blobs to collect, which add to your final score. For such a cheap price, Stardust is an unbelievably good deal, and improves over Stardust HD massively.… Expand

    I really love this game. It's so conceptually simple, and yet it a lot of fun! Love the music and the graphics too! Can't really think of any major negatives besides the fact that when you're playing in Delta mode, you can easily accidentally trigger a move.

    One of the best games on PS Vita. It has a small download size and provides hours of great fun. Visuals are amazing and the gameplay is just so intense. There are also leaderboards with which you can compare your scores with your friends. This is a must buy for the PS Vita, don't miss it.

    Super Stardust Delta may not be as big as some of the other Vita games but it is one of the best. The graphics are impressive and the soundtrack is great. The twin stick gameplay is fluid and faced paced with the accessibility and addictiveness that makes it a superb portable game.

Also has the options to play with PSV's new inputs or a "pure" mode that is exactly the same as its big brother on the PS3. LOVE IT!!… Expand

    This game deserves a nine for alot of very good reasons. This game, in my opinion, was the best launch title for the VITA and it really pissed me off that no-one was aware of how good it was that i knew.

It also gives some of the best boss battles i've seen in some time, but when changing over to the mini games you can vary the playing styles. It also is fairly cheep, which is a massive upside.

    A great port of the PSN title for PS3, Super Stardust Delta looks, feels, and plays great on the Vita. Many people have picked it up as a free download from signing up with AT&T for a data plan on the Vita, and it's a pretty awesome freebie if you were going to get 3G service anyway. If not, I highly recommend buying this gem from the Playstation Store.

    If you happen to have a PlayStation Vita, you have to pick this up (well you can't really pick it up because its a dlo (down load only) title, but you get my drift).

    This is actually worse than Super Stardust Portable from PSP. One less weapon, graphics are uglier in my oppinion (to be precise - in this version You actually cant really see whats going on on screen).
    Still its a lot better than Zombie Nation from Housemarque. If Youre borded, You can try this but only after You played and got bored of Geometry Wars 3, Nuclear Throne and Resogun which    This is actually worse than Super Stardust Portable from PSP.

    Still a very good double stick shooter. Nothing really new here, though. [Apr 2012]

    Super Stardust Delta represents phenomenal value for the pittance asking price. You'd need space rocks in your head to pass this up. [April 2012, p78]
