- It's not often that we see a console title end up being a better fit on a portable system, but after putting Super Stardust Delta through its paces it's abundantly clear that the experience fits the system like a glove. With its huge number of game modes and quick bursts of intense shooting action, it's the perfect type of game for those times when you only have a few minutes to play.
Corbie Dillard · Mar 12, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - On the surface of it, Super Stardust Delta is all about the controls. Housemarque’s glitzy twin-stick shooter makes the most of Vita’s thumbsticks, its campaign mode manages to rope the motion sensors in for camera movement and an EMP bomb, and then goes on to use both touchscreens for special weapon deployment.
Edge Staff · Mar 05, 2012 Reviewed on Vita - Meanwhile, the game looks stunning. Thanks to the NGP's processing muscle, the developers appear to have no trouble displaying multiple asteroids on screen, explosions and other special effects that look sharp on the five-inch display. Bottom line, we loved Super Stardust on PS3 and Delta appears to be a worthy successor. We'll have more info in the near future.
Chris Buffa · Feb 22, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - It’s addictive, and the gameplay is so fluid and crisp you’ll want to keep playing. The action on-screen is intense, and the addition of some new weapons and Vita-specific features make this the best Stardust ever. Consequently, it’s also one of the better launch games, digital or retail, and worth picking up if you’re even remotely interested. And boy-oh-boy, do the colors, explosions, and leftover stardust trails look pretty on the Vita’s OLED screen. It's mesmerizing.
Anthony Severino · Feb 22, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - It looks fantastic on that big bright screen and the new control systems are utilised without feeling too tacked on and gimmicky — at least in the main mode. The mini games may only be there to show off the hardware but they still provide some potential for high score battles and are a welcome addition to the reasonably short main mode.
Peter Chapman · Feb 22, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Much like the two before it, Delta shows us just how much fun a twin-stick shooter can be. Thanks to the Vita’s dual analog sticks, the game can finally be played how it was meant to be, but on the go. With a slick presentation, optional Vita-centered controls, solid frame rate and a booming soundtrack, this is a no-brainer to fans of twin stick shooters, or arcade fans in general.
Paulmichael Contreras · Feb 17, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Super Stardust Delta's range of difficulty options means you can have a good experience with it whether you just want to relax and enjoy blowing things up or you're looking for a stiff challenge. And its captivating visuals show off just how bright and gorgeous the screen on your new Vita really is.
Carolyn Petit · Feb 17, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - 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.
Robert VerBruggen · Feb 16, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Fans of Super Stardust should know what to expect by now. Super Stardust Delta does not reinvent the genre, but it does offer a few new tricks on top of an already immensely enjoyable package, all for an extremely reasonable price. If you own a Vita, there’s no reason not to add this stimulating twin-stick shooter to your collection.
Sebastian Haley · Feb 15, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Super Stardust Delta looks beautiful, runs well, totes short load times and has a great soundtrack. That’s all well and good, but what makes the game so damn good is its addicting, twitch dual analog gameplay. Something tells me that many a PlayStation Vita gamer will have an incredibly hard time putting down Super Stardust Delta, if not for the gameplay then for the hyper-competitive nature of the leaderboards.
