  • Summary: The addictive world of PixelJunk Monsters goes on the move with the arrival of PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe. Combining the popular PlayStation 3 original strategy title with its follow-up expansion pack, Encore, PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe boasts all the gameplay of its PS3 counterpart with fresh new content and added portability. Defend your forest brood against an onslaught of monsters by building towers which automatically fire on your enemies. Make sure your placement and strategy is sound, or your helpless children will find themselves as a quick snack for the nasty encroaching creatures. PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe features a new island with 11 stages, unique monsters and bosses, a Medal challenge mode, Medal room (with movie player, gallery and sound player) and more. [SCEE] Expand

    If you've already beat the previous two islands, trying to gain medals for each challenge will give you a whole other goal to obsess over, but if you've never played PixelJunk Monsters before, well, there's no better time than now!
  2. There should be no weighing of options, no hemming and hawing over whether the $20 asking price is worth it -- it is -- I promise you, it is.

    This is a no-brainer. PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is one of the best games on the PSP.
  4. If you own a PSP and you enjoy tower defense games then buying PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is a no brainer.

    The best PSP game out there, period. Such great replay value, very steep learning curve, perfectly and elegantly balanced and tons of unlockables and achievements just keep you busy. I've clockked over 150+ playing hours. Go buy the game on PSN to support your game developers!!! Expand

    Monsters is one of the best tower defence games currently available. Deluxe for PSP supercedes the original PS3 title(s): new towers, new monsters, new monster modifiers, a new island, new challenges and new monster queues for the original maps. And as if that wasn't enough they included a PSP theme, artwork and blueprints. Expand
  4. Hopefully this does not double post, but... This is a great tower defense game, but the online version has become an area where weirdo pedophiles linger. I do not reccomend that anyone buy this game. Expand
