Inside Super Stardust HD
What it is
Super Stardust HD is a downloadable game for the PlayStation 3 video game console, developed by the Finnish company Housemarque. In Japan it is known as Star Strike HD.
Super Stardust HD was the first title with trophy support on the PlayStation 3.
Super Stardust HD for the PlayStation3 system is a fully updated version of the classic game Stardust. Your mission is simple: destroy everything in sight! With five highly detailed 3D planets to save, hordes of enemies and asteroids to destroy, and various game play modes, Super Stardust HD presents super intense action.
Super Stardust HD is now available in 3D to provide the most immersive gaming experience ever, along with Simulview support in co-op, so you and a friend can view two completely different game views on the same 3D TV screen! 3D TV not required to play Super Stardust HD.
The premise
In Super Stardust HD, the player controls a space fighter craft that can move in any direction on a spherical shield surrounding a planet, while simultaneously firing in any direction independent of its movement. The primary threats against the player are three types of asteroids and various enemy spacecraft, which appear on the playfield at certain time intervals. The ship is equipped with three upgradeable weapons, a limited arsenal of bombs, and a boost capability that grants temporary invincibility and recharges after use. Each weapon is more effective against certain types of asteroid and enemies than others. Items include weapon upgrades and a shield that absorbs one fatal hit against the player's ship.
