For what it is, Shatter is just about perfect.
Shatter is the best $7.00 I has spent on PSN to-date. I found it hard to warm up to a game using such an old, tired game-play mechanic; afterall, Breakout or Arkanoid has been remade over and over... I just didn't see what all the hoopla was about. But Shatter merely uses those games as a starting off point, and it quickly ramps up the actions, physics and ingenuity to a level that can be both frustratingly difficult and simultaneously thrilling. Yes, it is easy to lose track of the ball from time to time, and yes, that is a problem. But the simple controls, the eye-pleasing graphics and the kicka$$ soundtrack make this a must play for any PS3 owner with a soft spot for arcades.
