A delight from beginning to end...Shatter stands right up there with Breakout and Arkanoid as one of (if not the) best brick-breaking games ever made.
75
It's a fine interpretation of the old brick-breaker style, and it should keep you entertained, even if it's only once or twice.
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.

This is probably the best Arkanoid game I played on PS3. It takes the spirit of the original brick breaker games as a basis, but then Shatter is imaginative and well-designed on its own. Besides, it poses an interesting challenge for hardcore players, since some of the trophies are quite difficult to get.

First it was really fun, but after some level it got boring. In my opinion it is too repetitive for a normal game and too complex for a mini games. Sort of sitting between two chairs. It is not that in would be always the same thing with only changing backgrounds. There are many different special blocks (rotating, exploding, rocketing, floating…), game modes (normal, hold 3 balls as long as possible, Tetris-like survival) and different areas (rectacular, circular), but always you end up doing the same: You a paddle and attract or push away blocks (and the ball) by a weak gravitational force from the paddle. If you like doing that for hours, the game is for you. Otherwise look out for something else.

What a weird... well crafted... Okay, I'm dazzled. This game is awesome! Maybe one of the best OST ever! Don't even hesitate, this is a must have. After one hour, you'll be addicted. The gameplay is brilliant, clever... But I stop right there. For me, that's a new Tetris.

GameShark
Shatter is a fiendishly well-crafted game available from the Playstation Store for a little under ten bucks where you spend hours smashing blocks and absorbing vast amounts of neurologically-stimulating graphical flair and ambience.

This is right up there along side Trash Panic as the best the Store currently has to offer in the sub five quid range. [Oct 2009, p.121]

Shatter is brick breaking at its best--simple, innovative, and beautiful.
