    With THRASHER, Brian Gibson shows once more where his skills lie: creating trippy neon-filled worlds in which players control a shiny critter. Whether it's a beetje or a space-eel, intriguing scenarios are guaranteed, even if THRASHER's casual friendly gameplay feels like a psychedelic version of Fruit Ninja which doesn't really translate well to gamepad controls.

    Thrasher lacks the precision of a truly great arcade challenge, but in short bursts it is still an amazing audiovisual experience.

    Thrasher is undoubtedly a more classic arcade experience than it actually seems. The eel's control is impeccable (despite some bugs and other contextual influences, such as the backgrounds) but both the level and power-up design doesn't capitalize on this great triumph. It seems the title is so desperate to immerse the player in its sensorial pool of lights, colors, and sounds that it seems to have forgotten that one way to do this is through practical challenges designed in a more logical and less conceptual way.
