If you've already beat the previous two islands, trying to gain medals for each challenge will give you a whole other goal to obsess over, but if you've never played PixelJunk Monsters before, well, there's no better time than now!

This is a no-brainer. PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is one of the best games on the PSP.

There should be no weighing of options, no hemming and hawing over whether the $20 asking price is worth it -- it is -- I promise you, it is.

Between the new maps, new towers, and the online capabilities, there is plenty of new content and features for diehard fans to experience in this new version.
Read Full Review >Destructoid
Again, PixelJunk Monsters on the PS3 was already a great game, but this PSP update is the ultimate version. Both the original and the expansion are included, as well as online play, new stages and new weapons.

If it feels like all I've done is talk about how awesome PixelJunk Monster Deluxe is in this review, it's probably because I have.
Read Full Review >Pocket Gamer UK
The new gold standard for tower defense, PixelJunk Monster Deluxe has it all thanks to layered strategic play, action elements, and online cooperative play.
Read Full Review >GameZone
While it might have called the PS3 its home first, PixelJunk Monsters is a perfect fit on the PSP. With more features, levels, and some of the most fun and addictive strategy gameplay ever, you’re doing yourself a real disservice if you miss out on this one.

PixelJunk Monster Deluxe is one of the most enjoyable games we can currently find in downloadable format, both in domestic and portable consoles.
Read Full Review >PSFocus
A complete version of the PlayStation 3 game with all the expansions. Although the price is very low, you get one of the best PlayStation Network games on your PSP.

If you own a PSP and you enjoy tower defense games then buying PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is a no brainer.

Incredibly addictive. [Issue#185, p.78]
TheSixthAxis
More maps, local and online multiplayer and stacks of secrets to unlock make this undoubtably the definitive version. We’re impressed.

Q-Games’ quirky tower defence title is as competent as it is colourful, and the heap of additional content supplied in the PSP version makes it worthy of the deluxe title. Issues with frustration and repetition aside, the quick and accessible nature of the gameplay makes it a vital addition to the PSP’s catalogue.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
On one hand you've got a fiendishly hard single-player game that taxes the mind as much as the reflexes, and on the other there's a more considered two-player game with a slower pace and more tactical play.

Despite a frustrating difficulty level, the deep strategy and undeniable charm of PixelJunk Monsters will keep you hooked for hours.
Read Full Review >InsideGamer.nl
Pixeljunk Monster Deluxe is a great game. Simple in essence, but works really swell. It could even become very addictive because of that. Unfortunately it’s frustrating difficult to beat the stages in a perfect manor and content could stay out of reach when you’re stuck in a stage.

It's the perfect pick up and play title for strategically minded PSP owners. [Dec 2009, p.78]
Gaming Age
Despite getting masochistically frustrating at times, there's a certain "je ne sais quoi" that PJM has, and Deluxe is no exception.
