    The single-player game takes two to three hours to complete, depending on your ability level and how often you get stuck on the tougher sections. Replayability is helped by some difficult achievements and a decent leaderboard setup, though unfortunately you can't see your friends' scores while you play, so competition isn't encouraged.

    Two stick shooters are generally fun and addictive games that have that ‘one more go’ mentality, one of my favourites amongst the newer released two stick shooters is Super Stardust HD.
