100If 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!
-
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.
-
95This is a no-brainer. PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is one of the best games on the PSP.

-
Between the new maps, new towers, and the online capabilities, there is plenty of new content and features for diehard fans to experience in this new version.
-
Easy to learn, difficult to master, this game is perfect for gaming on the go.
-
91Easily the definitive version of this tower defense game.
-
The new gold standard for tower defense, PixelJunk Monster Deluxe has it all thanks to layered strategic play, action elements, and online cooperative play.
-
90If it feels like all I've done is talk about how awesome PixelJunk Monster Deluxe is in this review, it's probably because I have.
-
90While it might have called the PS3 its home first, PixelJunk Monsters is a perfect fit on the PSP. With more features, levels, and some of the most fun and addictive strategy gameplay ever, you're doing yourself a real disservice if you miss out on this one.
-
90Again, PixelJunk Monsters on the PS3 was already a great game, but this PSP update is the ultimate version. Both the original and the expansion are included, as well as online play, new stages and new weapons.
-
A fantastic title which offers great value and hours of fun.
-
PixelJunk Monster Deluxe is one of the most enjoyable games we can currently find in downloadable format, both in domestic and portable consoles.
-
89A complete version of the PlayStation 3 game with all the expansions. Although the price is very low, you get one of the best PlayStation Network games on your PSP.
-
88Overall PixelJunk's Monsters Deluxe presents itself as a well enough, but superficial strategy title. The level of difficulty develops well while playing.
-
87PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is an absolutely incredible game for the PSP and one that should be in every owners collection regardless of their affinity to the Tower Defense genre.
-
86If you own a PSP and you enjoy tower defense games then buying PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is a no brainer.
-
86Incredibly addictive. [Issue#185, p.78]
-
80PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe has charisma, content, clarity and a cracking heart.
-
80On one hand you've got a fiendishly hard single-player game that taxes the mind as much as the reflexes, and on the other there's a more considered two-player game with a slower pace and more tactical play.
-
The graphics are endearing and the gameplay immersive. [Feb 2010, p.111]
-
80More maps, local and online multiplayer and stacks of secrets to unlock make this undoubtably the definitive version. We're impressed.
-
80Despite a frustrating difficulty level, the deep strategy and undeniable charm of PixelJunk Monsters will keep you hooked for hours.
-
Pixeljunk Monster Deluxe is a great game. Simple in essence, but works really swell. It could even become very addictive because of that. Unfortunately it's frustrating difficult to beat the stages in a perfect manor and content could stay out of reach when you're stuck in a stage.
-
Q-Games' quirky tower defence title is as competent as it is colourful, and the heap of additional content supplied in the PSP version makes it worthy of the deluxe title. Issues with frustration and repetition aside, the quick and accessible nature of the gameplay makes it a vital addition to the PSP's catalogue.
-
It's the perfect pick up and play title for strategically minded PSP owners. [Dec 2009, p.78]

75Despite getting masochistically frustrating at times, there's a certain "je ne sais quoi" that PJM has, and Deluxe is no exception.
