    If you are expecting Super Stardust Portable to replace Super Stardust HD, you're going to be disappointed. However, SS Portable does a great job of translating the experience to the PSP.

    Although it would've been nice to have more modes besides Arcade, Planets and the boost-happy Impact (there's no sign of Survival or Endless), this gorgeous shoot-em-up is worth its $10 price tag.

    Excellent value for money and something every PSP owner must experience: it's fun, visual and audibly impressive and is perfect for a quick blast to and from the shops on the bus. Although it isn't perfect, it's more down to the hardware than it is the software, so I'll let it off just this once.

    Where this version loses out to its bigger bro is that the zoomed-in perspective feels claustrophobic by comparison. [Mar 2009, p.94]

    For super fans of Super Stardust HD for the PS3, this title is going to be a little bit of a let down. There aren’t as many modes and the control difference is noticeable and a slight hindrance to enjoyment.

    Not bad, but not essential. [Mar 2009, p.75]

    Super Stardust Portable suffers from exactly the same problem as Everyday Shooter – there is no second analog stick for PSP. And without it all the fun from the game disappears, even if everything else looks fine. [Issue#174, Jan 2009]

I think its because graphics are way more clear (You can actually see what You're doing - and thats some achievement given the fact, that the games pace is really frantic), and It has this old shool feeling to it. I thought I'd like all Housemarque games and was later really disappointed with Dead Nation.
    This is one of the few games that I really enjoyed on psp. Even the lack of second analog didnt bothered me.
    Overall - One of the best twin stick shooters on PSP.    … Expand

    Good, short, portable, no commitment-required fun. Colorful visuals and audio, good to play when i'm waiting for my games on PC to load.
