Shatter Video Review

[cimsonangell]

this game looks terrible, like one of those that's fun for an hour but then gets real boring, much like wii sports.

[MrSeaBlueSky]

@cimsonangell Well it isnt. In fact its really entertaining for a long time and have you herad the soundtracks? Amazing!

[EnigmaHood]

Love this game. It's awesome!

[cloudstrife0257]

I got this and Limbo today :)

[qttytn]

I can't recommend this enough

[AtlasRedux]

To quote the 2 top-comments : the music is indeed friggin' awesome and varied.

[acarpetburn]

Makes me proud to be from new Zealand

[TheUnrealGameplay]

Finally a good review from ING

[FcukCensoredSht]

Daemon has come a long way lol

[ZackathuiaKawonga]

Damn! Every game doesn't have to have multiplayer!

But then again...

...Online PONG?

Fuck yes.

[SergioSource]

Shatter, the game that surpassed Arkanoid

[capcom23]

looks very boring and too much going on the screen!

[ZackathuiaKawonga]

@capcom23 How the fuck is this boring?

[capcom23]

@ZackathuiaKawonga to me it's boring :-). my opinion.

[Maiku2010]

looks sweeet but how are the controls? is it a chore to get the platform from one side of the screen to the other in time?

[MinbadTheFourth]

I want this on my PSP2

[kenndiata]

@MinbadTheFourth ye in ur dream that u have psp2

[Footesouljja]

made in new zealand 2

[AlavritoRey]

Got the game willing to gameshare just add me Sgt_alvaro

[amgoo12]

Here's a trick, just suck all the lose parts towards you and destroy them with shield [square].

[GIANNAKOsify]

i'm agreeing with ign this game woulda got a 10/10 with a multiplayer:(

[AlexFattore]

2.50 on Steam today! Go get it people!

[popp1nbottlez]

wow this looks awesome. this is what PSP was made for in my opinion. this would have been perfect to go alongside Lumines and stuff...

[Slench101]

steam version has a local coop so not having multiplayer is a lie

[Slench101]

PSN AND Steam game thankyouverymuch

[steelfoe]

I have been playing this game with my ax pros on. I haven't been in love with a game and music in a long time. MORE SHATTER GAMES PLEASE!!!

[DeJayHank]

Awesome game. almost for free at steam :P

[glovestrong48]

$2.50 n Steam people, GET ON IT.

[feveronceagain123]

@glovestrong48 Got the Game Super Cheap and its soundtrack :P

[MokoziWorld]

The collides in this game are FUCKING ANNOYING

[AlienMagi]

fuck you reviewer, next time mention all the platforms this game is on instead of just mentioning ps3 dumbass fanboy. I didn't know this game was on pc because of him

[countrygranne]

@AlienMagi The PC version didn't release until 8 months after this video was made genius.

[MMLynk]

You're a piece of dogshit Hatfield, stop doing reviews.

Fucking dumbest retard at IGN

[kinginator2]

free with plus, win

[nerhaa]

Shatter should have pong mode for 2 players... With it's physics and shard attack it could be nice feature :p

[mrfailure]

This game is free to PSN+ members right now. I am downloading it as I type this.

[bushwhacker2k]

"It's the gameplay where Shatter really shines."

Uh... gameplay might be good but are you even listening to the music, it is AMAZING. One might even say EARTH-SHATTERING.

[GNRlova23]

@bushwhacker2k i'm sorry, that pun was awfull... just awfull... AWFULL :(

[64manxman]

@GNRlova23 i guess you could say.

*sunglasses*

it was brain-Shattering bad!

YEEEEAAAAAHHH

[64manxman]

@GNRlova23 i guess you could say.

*sunglasses*

it was brain-Shatteringly bad!

YEEEEAAAAAHHH

[GNRlova23]

@64manxman nope, still very terrible!

[Koopsas]

@bushwhacker2k PUN INTENDED!

[SucksTheJoke]

[98Khloe]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[MrAgnost]

The music is just to fucking awesome, been listening to that for days on end xD

[Maddogxx7]

This game has one of the better soundtracks I have heard in a game lately.

[Slench101]

@Maddogxx7 you know the soundtrack is pretty cheap... I bought it and it's worth every penny

[Geccola]

it is also on pc and xbox arcade. wats up with ppl dissing other systems taht arent the ps3?

[Persistantthug]

@Geccola

Actually, Shatter is not on the XBOX LIVE store, and therefore isn't available to the XBOX 360.

However, It is on the PC.

Just letting you know.

[BottleNeckEffek]

Shatter is amazing

[MattyGreer]

This game is fun, check my channel for shatter gameplay aswell. :D

[DanEvPro]

00:01...

[omagad90]

YEA 2€ ON STEAM FOR LIKE 3 MORE HOURS (New stuff 6 o' clock GMT)

[bluntman860]

the level at 0:45 has the best song in it

[KewlCrayon]

This game looks awesome, even for a brick building game. I would buy this if its an under 10 dollar game on steam.

[coldflame95]

@KewlCrayon If you don't know already, it's actually $2.50 today only for a daily deal during Steam's Perils of Summer Sales event

[PhotoFinish2008]

BEST. MUSIC. EVER.

[Mr1337Ownage]

just got this game on PSN awesome game!

[Ufnym]

is there a pc version?

[Freez0x]

@Ufnym yes, it is. You can buy it via Steam.

[MagicMan2266]

@Ufnym yes there is a PC version, and yesterday it was only $2.50 on steam! now its back to its original $10 price becasue the 75% sale is over :(

[Ufnym]

@MagicMan2266 too late. I already downloaded it free and deleted. Not my style. I liked Arcanum better.

[ThereIsCake]

Can they really sell a brick breaking game in 2010, seriously?

Hell yes.

[MrFayc3]

Own this on the pc, amazing game.

[TacoSupremeBeing]

this hasto come to xbla

[TheRiisingSun]

@TacoSupremeBeing that's what the ps3 owners are saying about a lot of the great xbla games, so lets hope this one stays exclusive, since Sony pays indie devs a lot of money to get exclusive games for psn.. :)

[ronnysoeberg]

@TheRiisingSun sadly they always pay the wrong devs..

[xMisterEpicx]

Thanks for the review! I'm getting it on PC! :D

[teemuruskeepaa]

I saw an old man talking about how everybody's doing it 20 million people. It was funny. Good impressions of a 30'ties primary socialization. Especially "online people are doing it with complete strangers" and "it's safe to say everybody's doing it"

[bwisitginago14]

this work on a netbook? plain old atom powered intel gma 945 netbook.

[EnigmaHood]

Game looks great. I'll download it soon.

[Dajuro]

1976?

I used to hang out at arcades in '76 - there weren't any video games there. Pinball, foosball, , etc, etc. - but no video games. Those didn't start showing up until the early 80s.

[trumpettooter]

I just bought this game on Steam yesterday and I love it! This thing is too addictive for its own good lol The music is awesome. I actually opened the webpage for the game in the background and listened to the soundtrack while I was doing some work.

I also like that it has co-op. That's pretty cool for a PC game in my opinion.

[Woody34]

Eh, Magic Orbz is better in my opinion.

[ThatLpGuyWithGlasses]

i gonna get that game on steam

[mark444444444]

Nice game, one of the best brick breakers around.

[m3gadork]

I thought this had co-op?

[Noobgrafix]

oh nice ill install it on both of my computers

[kiy0z]

Just buy it.

[slippedonturd]

So how is it low-replay value if it's a brick braker?

[smirre1993]

The best thing about this game is the music!

My opinion.. Love this music

[RobiniquaSparxx]

I'm getting this game as soon as I can. wow!

[Newboybe]

I didn't even know about this game 'till IGN gave it the Game of the Year for PSN award over "Flower".

Bought it instantly and one of the best games of PSN!

[psp110]

either dis or trash panic

[Marzell765]

Looks awsome! *throws away breakout game*

[R7ZK]

It reminds me the Ricochet Infinity

nice

[lordkelvin1]

Jeramiah is the best! Go to his youtube!!

Modulenz! It's awesome sauce!

[BlackHairedGoon]

I agree, I got this game yesterday.

I completed it in one sitting, it is rather short.

But it is fantastic, and very, very slick.

Thoroughly recommended.

Got any questions?

Ask me!

:D

[U4cerial]

Its from NZ :) i feel so proud that New Zealand is getting into the 'good' in games

[money272]

offline multiplayer?

[FreeSkiPhreak]

@money272 4 stm 4 str leather belt?

[Zachzillaa]

ps3 exclusive

[valentinog]

Can you play 2 players in shatter?

[enoching7]

doubt it'd screw with the balanced difficulty. i mean with two players you'd never lose a game, unless maybe there were 2 spheres that moved 2x as fast.

[zminemx]

@valentinog yeah there are two coop modes and it's also on PC

[Destrojah1]

@valentinog yes but not online =(

[straydog1980]

the game is phenomenal fun, and the soundtrack will really get you moving. Good luck trying not to dance in between levels, especially if you are a fan of dance/house music.

[donsargent]

i hv to tell you the sound track is awesome. i was going to delete b4 i even tried it. but when i did i was amazed. it was so simple it was fun. no need for flashy graphics, percs or gimmicks. this game rocks. btw i never liked pong till i played this lol

[bluntman860]

ya this game was pretty sick, but i thought it need more levels and maybe a little bit more of a challenge with bosses. but im still not bored of it

[nickONtheNET332]

looks awesome but trials hd and shadow complex is there for all of us xbox users

[BallinTrollin]

smoke weed and play this game! IT's FUKIN AWESOME! The sounds......the visuals plus the solid balls gameplay is WIN! $7-- worth every penny!

[mattymattmoran]

will do just got 3 grams of ak47 hah

[bluntman860]

calm down dude, being high and playing a game isn't an acid trip. it feels the same, just your more focused on the game

[BulldozerLemon]

i don't like all this "hitting balls" mumbojumbo.

[33jj3]

He doesnt even know about the superballs, when you have to time, pushing 2 balls out at once

[crazedchrizz]

Didnt expect much from this game, now i must have it!!!

[money272]

how much is this?

[iFail2]

Looks more like a psp game if you ask me. :o

[heviwayte]

oh yeah.....i forgot, the soundtrack is EASILY one of the best EVER made for a video game, this is one of those rare games that the music perfectly encapsulates what the game is all about.

[heviwayte]

i downloaded this joint on my ps3 2 days ago and man let me tell you....THIS GAME IS A EPIC WIN ON ALL LEVELS shawty, plz believe it...and this is coming from a true gamer who's been kinda bored lately with some of this new ish coming out but yeah, if you own a ps3, if you dont already have this game, you are SLIPPIN...big time!!!!

[awsometurkey]

@heviwayte to bad you cant get the soundtrack free like us on pc!! (i have a fbs file extractor. woot for wavs) ^_^ but yea its awsome game

[williamtom0]

@heviwayte its not as if its a PS3 exclusive game, but yeah, its epic

[MonsteriuM]

There is a game called "break quest" have a similar concept, comes with more than 50 levels, I wish this comes to the psn also :)

[jeppmet]

this game is amazing...insanely addictive

[ilikezelda64]

This looks just like my type of game.

This genre has gotten a long way since pong....

[dman6996]

"company"

[ArsenalProFan]

sorry all only ps3

[Cratos6969]

Great game.

[Senseij14]

Wow, the idea of being able to affect the ball by some kind of magnetic field is from PlasmaPong!

[johndudey]

Do you buy it on a disc or off the Playstation Store?

[kubiakadm]

playstation store.

[baseballrunner76]

this looks sick. I'm going to love it and I KNOW my dad, who's a veteran arkanoid player, will love it as well.

[0InRainbows0]

daemon is where its at

[pulseyoutoo]

are you guys fighting of dlc games....

[dadavinci]

Still waiting for a Fat Princess review, that's this years Castle Crashers for Fanboys...

[elpicos8091]

how the hell is it a castle crashers? are you an idiot; fat princess is basically a capture the flag game both games are completely different games

[dadavinci]

How am I an idiot? The game is as ANTICIPATED as Castle Crashers was last year, I HAD a 360, so I could say that Castle Crashers was pretty hyped up, now this year Fat Princess is just as, if not more, hyped as it.

[Wootnezz]

I lost hype on Fat Princess because of all the delays [March -> June -> July] and to finish it off, they rose the price by $5. They said at GDC [March] that the game would be normal PSN game price [$10] :\. Now I have to buy an extra PSN card just for Fat Princess

[kweezy12]

i think hes comparin' 'em as 2 popular downloadable games. well assumin' fat princess is goin' to be popular, which i hope.

[gamezngadgetz]

urrm, Castle crashers is also coming to ps3 dude, Shatter looks great, might buy it.

[dadavinci]

I did not know trhat, sweet, I miss playing Castle Crashers.

[BenTheMagnifice]

shuddup and watch the video fanboys, you arent going to make any difference at all by flaming, your just wasting time.

[time2die4ever]

plz psp version

[KINGxLIGHTBULB]

ok.

[Huhmasta]

rofl, "story mode"

[obaidshera]

its only available on pc?

[JUNAID187]

ps3

[thaprototype]

Only PS3 I think...

[Zazchu]

yes

[diablo313]

That's some pretty high praise for a "mini-game".

[sedd1234]

the design feels like a rip off of geometry wars..... anyway the game is fun so I dont mind

[Stokske]

I don't think it looks like geometry wars at all.

[sprinfever9691]

the wii rules !

[Zazchu]

no its exlusive for the pc

[GeneLightt]

Zazchu

no it is not

[laughingskeletons]

would be ideal for the psp

[ablmgreg]

Looks pretty good

[Schaurfshutze]

this game should also be release on handelds , like psp or Ds

[iscrewy]

or the ipod oh wait it already was :D (well basically it was)

[zibeddy]

gotta say ps3 d-loadable games are a lot better than 360. i mean flower, wipeout hd, stardust and fat princess what compeition is there?

[dkamm65]

Castle Crashers, Uno, Marble Blast Ultra, Zuma, 1vs100, 'Splosion Man, Alien Homind HD, Duke Nukem 3d, Trigger Heart Exelica, Hexic HD, and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. Not to mention there's tons of other classic remakes as well and a bunch of great original XBOX games to download. I think I made my point.

[5had0w5talk3r]

You do know that some of those games or equivelant games are availiable in the playstation store, right?

[dkamm65]

Well with all the other exclusives available for the XBOX 360, you can get what the PS3 has also, plus more.

[5had0w5talk3r]

All consoles are good, if I could i would buy all of them. But saying that the 360 has better games then the PS3 is obnoxious. Both systems have their Downloadable games and what games you get depends on your specific taste on videogames. So, at the end of the day, all that really matters is that you be happy and play some games and not be a fan-boy.

[dkamm65]

Well, I was replying to a fanboy. He said the XBOX's downloadble lineup couldn't compete with the PS3. I was just trying to let him know what the XBOX has, since he was clearly mistaken.

[DeejayThursty]

thats well said

[nayte23]

this is true, all gamers should be like this, not the quarelling fags most gamers are today, play what you like to play, dont give a fuck about other peoples choiced and shut the fuck up.

[kadawg400]

whats flower and wipe out and fat princess but are you serious 360 has splosin man shadow complex castle crasher marble blast ultra hexic hd geometry wars I doubt u know what ur talking about where is the competition from ps3

[radriku]

and how many of those have you bought?

[iBackHandHoz]

You'd be surprised how many retail games fat princess could beat. I think since it has that kind of gaming power being a PSN title, it's more than enough competition for most other titles

[dragondcng]

yet the 3 ps3 ones u mentioned did better than all of thoses u mentioned...

[kadawg400]

yeah right sploshin man was rated higher than those 3 games and shatter is on the Ipod so its not exclusive

[joshgod1]

this game is great itll take you about 2-4hours depending on skill and if you dont want to continue to get max scores.

i loved it and highly recommend it as its a great game in what has been a empty 2-3 gaming months

the only thing to consider if to get this game or not is this thursday FAT PRINCESS is released! and the thursday after we get trine at less cost than the pc.

if you consider £4.79 for bout 3 hours tims by 8 so would equal a full £40 game and its bout 24 hours thats good

[ReksBanner]

anyone know how much this is in aus?
