Sure the game is over a year old, but that doesn't mean PlayStation 3 owners should miss out on this frantic and beautiful shooter. It's a dash of Geometry Wars and a dash of Asteroids for the modern age. Of course we wouldn't talk about it if it wasn't for co-op...
Super Stardust HD is one of the premiere titles available on the Playstation Network. Take the classic Asteroids gameplay from days of yore, add in genre staples like power ups and different weapons, and throw it all in a gorgeous high definition package, and you have SSHD in a nutshell. However, for fans of co-op, there has been a nagging problem about the game: both players had to remain on the same screen, thus limiting their effectiveness. The most recent content for the game, aptly titled the Team Expansion, addresses this problem. Split-screen co-op is now supported. From IGN's review:
One game that was instantly a standout title for me on the Playstation 3 was Super Stardust HD. It's a unique mix of Geometry Wars style action meets Asteroids boulder dodging. The absolute best thing about the game was plugging in a second controller and blasting some baddies and rocks with a buddy. One problem, it was sort of busted.
