I downloaded this to see what trophies were all about. I never cared about a trophy ever again, but I certainly enjoyed Super Stardust HD.

Superb playability and tight controls, nice graphics and sound effects. Excellent work from Housemarque as usual. This game was just a bit too much of a bullet hell for me personally, and I was not good at it.

Housemarque started out... alright. Not too remarkable. They weren't at the top of my list until Resogun hit, and now especially after Returnal.

Stardust is a totally competent game, but its draw to me is mostly the spectacle and the high score chasing. The effects and stuff are nice, but they don't carry a game for me. High score chasing is definitely not my thing.

Overall, it's fun for a bit but it isn't anything special.

Endlessly replayable and completely addictive, this is probably the game with the most playtime on my PS3. The feeling of keeping a run going through multiple levels, phases, and boss fights helped get me through college. I can't recommend it enough if you're a fan of arcadey experiences.

To be honest, I only remember this as the first PS3 game to get trophy support. Otherwise it's a pretty unremarkable twinstick shooter.

Got this for free as part of the "sorry" when PSN got hacked. Arcade style game with no real reason to continue playing after you've played it a couple times other than to beat your high score.
