Gabriel Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 This game looks pretty cool, even though it's YET ANOTHER OMNI-SHOOTER. I guess the PS3 isn't clogged with them (this is only the third one), but since I own a 360 as well and Live has Geometry Wars, Mutant Storm Reloaded, Robotron, Smash TV, and others, the download services seem positively stuffed with this style of game.

Agent X Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 This game is actually derived from an Amiga game from over a decade ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 This game is actually derived from an Amiga game from over a decade ago. And is Super Stardust based off of Stardust for the Atari ST or are they different games? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Does anyone that already owns Geometry Wars, have this game? I saw it got pretty high reviews, IGN user reviews put it at 9.0. The video of the game looks very very good, however it looks an awful lot like the gameplay is identical to GW. Is there enough of a difference to justify spending $10 on this game if you already own GW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin242 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 This game is actually derived from an Amiga game from over a decade ago. Holy shit, I was totally addicted Super Stardust back in the day. So this is modernized super deluxe Asteroids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is modernized super deluxe Asteroids? It could be described as that based on the look. I never played the original, but yes I believe it is based off an older game. It doesn't appear that many people have this game, in spite of the fact it's very highly rated. Maybe it has too much in common with Geometry Wars, or maybe it's that no one uses the PS3 for anything other than a Blu-Ray player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's spiffy. All of the frantic omni-shooters are pretty similar. Super Stardust HD does feel similar to Geometry Wars, but that's more of a function of what genre it is than any particular similarity. The main difference with SSHD is a wrapping battlefield, and the most common targets (asteroids) don't actively home in on you as in Geometry Wars. Plus, there are powerups and alternate weapons, which alter gameplay a bit. After playing it a while, I think I'd say I like Geometry Wars and Blast Factor more, but it's a close contest.

MegaManFan Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) I have both Geo Wars and SSHD, they're each great for different reasons. Both have frantic gameplay, but Geo Wars has constantly aggressive enemies while SSHD has more customization and really intense boss battles. Each are visually stunning and great sounding. Honestly to me if you'd like one you'd like the other - both are great shooters. Edited October 8, 2007 by MegaManFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Does anyone that already owns Geometry Wars, have this game? I think it's completely different, but I'm also into Robotron, Crystal Quest, Mutant Storm, Smash TV, Assault Heroes, Blast Factor, and Nucleus, too. It's worth the cheap price and is the best thing on the PSstore that isn't premium (Tekken, Warhawk) or retro (Wipeout, Q*Bert). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Found this online today via my PS3 and tried the demo. Liked it so much I've already bought it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Found this online today via my PS3 and tried the demo. Liked it so much I've already bought it I had noticed the PS Store added a demo of this game. Everyone needs to check it out. It's pretty good. My main complaint is the levels feel too long and grindy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Was going to the kitchen to get a drink when I glanced at my bookcase. Lo and behold Yep, a CIB copy of Super Stardust for the Amiga CD32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
