  1. Quite simply one of the best games on the PS3. Every PS3 owner needs this game in their collection.
  2. For a price of $7.99, this download-only title provides an entertaining, but short, gameplay experience. The few hours that you will spend with this game, however, will definitely be entertaining.

    Taken as a whole, Shatter combines well-thought-out gameplay with a highly polished and immersive aesthetic. Only a particular type of person need apply, perhaps, but if you’re into Geometry Wars or other score-based titles, Shatter should keep you satisfied.
  4. Shatter is a great game, and well worth a play.

    Gorgeous to look at and challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. This Arkanoid style arcade game injects fresh life into the classic block-breaking formula. The 90-minute long original soundtrack is a joy to listen to whilst destroying bricks in vertical, horizontal and even circular arenas. For such a low price 'Shatter' is a must buy for those looking to relive classic nostalgia combined with all the modern trappings. Expand

    This game has nice visuals, style, and music. The block physics and suck/blow mechanic are unique and really distinguish this game from the other Breakout clones out there. Some boss battles are fun and can be challenging. However this is still a Breakout clone at heart. The improvements might not last very long to keep you from getting bored playing this genre. Expand
