   "The Splatters" is the game to play - amazing physical simulation, kick ass graphics and music that compliments it all.
   
   This game will give you hours of pure fun - and the SplatterTV feature will let you see playbacks of top players - doesn't mean you can mimic what they are doing right away - but it will let you see what is possible - its a puzzle that requires skills to complete.
   It might seem like Peggle at first glimpse - but once you dig into it - you will realize there is hardly any luck there - its 99% skills - and skills take little bit of time to develop.
   
   the game features 3 themes - become a talent which teaches you the basic skills, Master shots that shows you how to efficiently use those skills in a single shot game mode and combo nation - which puts everything you learned together - this mode puts you in the zone - when shooting for 3 stars you will need to use everything you learned and do it fast enough so the combo doesn't drop - you can clear a level scoring 20,000 pts or 20,000,000 pts - its all about your skills.
   
   with the integration of leader boards with clip playback the reply value is enormous - every time you think you did well on a level - you can see someone else that did twice as good - giving you something to strive for.
   because its so unique its hard to describe it in words - so you simply have to try it yourself.
   At 800 points its a bargain.… Expand

   "The Splatters" is an XBLA game developed by SpikySnail Games, and produced by Microsft which costs 800ms points.
   
   The game is very reminiscent of a classic and popular game, Peggle, mixed with the new games that deal with physical, being a good and addictive game option: you use gelatinous creatures that are thrown, being slip and spilled into the structures of the stages, to clear of them of bombs. Particularly, in everything from gameplay and presentation, to the general structure of the menus reminded me of one more game for iPhone / iPhone and other derivatives, than consoles themselves, though it can play perfectly on them.
   
   The game musics are lively, made with synthesizers, much like Peggle in this aspect (the way they are made and themselves - but without the music by Beethoven): the sounds are well done too, with creatures shouting happily to be thrown among funny noises.
   
   The game features graphics and graphical effects (like slow motion) very similar to Peggle too: the details in the graphics are in the structures mostly in front of the screen, while the backgrounds have a blurry look. It is also nice to see an effect of fragmentation on the bombs, after destroying them, which seems fine glitter in the screen.
   
   Although not spectacular graphically, the foundations of the game are in the gameplay, which makes it a great casual puzzle / action game: you use a virtual slingshot, which is used with the analog stick to aim and throw the creatures, according with force, that you determine by the time you press the A in the controller.
   
   More ahead of the game, the creatures develop new powers to diversify what we can do besides throw them, such as changing the gravity and rewind time, as well as having special maneuvers such as changing the direction of your motion, reverse the direction in which all fly in the screen, etc.. - and everything counts to perform combos, that increase the final score - just like hitting two different sets of pumps with the same gelatin.
   
   At the end of each stage, you are graded according to your performance (points), from 1 to 3 stars, and these grades will release new stages and characters features to play - all account for achieving this, as special maneuvers and combos performed, as well as how many golden gelatin's you catch, while you slide and fly in the scenario (which is limited to the same screen).
   
   The big problem is that the game after a while ends up being repetitive, because the action comes down to the same thing, just changing the stages and game modes, although having new abilities to use in the cleared stages to get the maximum score. Nevertheless, it's a nice choice for a puzzle game: my score is 8.3 / 10.0.… Expand
