    There is simply no better way to spend your money on the Vita platform right now. Slick visuals, a rocking score, and simple-yet-addictive gameplay will keep Super Stardust Delta in rotation on your system for a long, long time.

    A fantastic game that perfectly suits PS Vita by offering one of the best twin-stick shooter experiences on the go

    To me, Super Stardust Delta is all about the Arcade mode, and the Arcade mode is simply amazing. The gameplay is solid, and the graphics and sound are astounding. If you want a cheap, entertaining demonstration of what the Vita is capable of, hold off on Uncharted and try out Super Stardust Delta.

    Despite the lack of new features Housemarque really knows how to create intensive action games. The low price point is enough to recommend Super StarDust Delta to all dual stick shooting game fans out there.

    As a twin-stick shooter, it's inferior to the tighter, more ingenious Geometry Wars, but boosting clean through a massive iceberg is ace. [May 2012, p.81]

    Super Stardust Delta doesn't deliver anything entirely new, but it's a refined variant of one of the best twin-stick shooters around that can now be played on the go.

    The dual-stick shooter impresses from both gameplay and visual standpoints, without bringing anything new to the genre.

The game play and the additional features thanks to the new inputs makes this better than the PS3 version. Visually the game looks amazing and the fun and additive nature of the game makes it perfectly suited for a handheld. Quick load times and fun jump into the action and enjoy style of the game makes it perfect for car trips across the city or where ever. The price of the game is like icing on the cake, when you consider its only $10 you really can't go wrong. A MUST BUY!!! 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

Absolutely gorgeous visual married to gameplay thatHard 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.… Expand

There are 3Super 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

This game is great fun, you will want to play through it many times for more then just a high score. I bought this game only because their wasent much else to buy on the vita and I had extra psn money, but this is the game I played most for the vita. More then worth the $10!… Expand

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. This has a very familiar side-scrolling shooter style gameplay modernized with dual-stick controls. And boy, it is ABSOLUTELY addicting. Some of the mini-games included might be iffy, but that doesn't change the fact that the core game is an absolute steal at $10. If you have a Vita, you need to buy this.… Expand

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 all are waaaay better games.    … Expand
