What players say
I, like some others who have this game on steam, have had this before on the ps3, and it's safe to say that this is indeed the ultimate version you can get of the two games. Not only are both shooter 1 and two in this game, it's more expanded compared to Ps4's ultimate edition. The only issues I can say about this game is unfortunate lack of online multiplayer as I'm probably the very few people who recently found...

Good fun. Originally played it on the PS3, still decent. Haven't finished part 2 as felt a worse experience, but anyhow - part 1 was good.
Bundling together two bubbly twin stick shooters into an single package, PJSU is an absolute recommend. Zipping through narrow caverns while dodging alien fire and magma is smooth and responsive, and collecting hidden treasure while uncovering hidden zones never gets old. Aside from some of the bosses overstaying their welcome, Ultimate is the best way to play this excellent little pair of games.
