  1. Stick to the four or better multiplayer mayhem, and you’ll find Shred Nebula offers you more than enough bang for your ten space bucks.
  2. 75
    It features some classic nostalgia from the 80’s, a fair amount of strategy mixed with skill and is pretty addictive – especially in online multiplayer where you can have four player dogfight mayhem.
  3. You’ll need to forget everything you know about accelerating/moving with the left stick and blasting away with the right – Shred Nebula is more technical than Geometry Wars, but nowhere near as addictive.
  4. 67
    It's damn near a flight sim, with tons of controls and HUD elements (a bar for your health and your shields, and a bar for the charging time for your special weapon -- which is more special if you shoot it with your main guns).
  5. 65
    The ultimate downfall of Shred Nebula is the controls.
  6. X-ONE Magazine UK

    Just a competent exploratory shooter spoiled by interaction with the pad. [Issue#38, p.115]
  7. Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

    Exciting, but the real battle is against the controls. [Dec 2008, p.103]
