    Comet Crash certainly isn't the most sophisticated looking tower defense title, but if you pass it up because of its simplistic visuals, you're truly missing out. It's chock full of clever design and great unit/tower balancing, plus it has some of the most generally engaging local multiplayer found on the PlayStation Store. Additionally, it might very well be the best RTS on the PS3.

    Comet Crash is so much more than first meets the eye. I expected a simple tower defense game, that did not look too good. Instead I found a full blown RTS that even entails a few unique features. Way to go, Pelfast!

    The controls are intuitive, and the action fast, making this a satisfying PSN title. [Christmas 2009, p.91]

    Minor complaints aside, Comet Crash does a fantastic job at easing the unfamiliar into tower defense territory, and is well worth your asteroid-powered space bucks if you are looking for a light (yet addictive) strategy title.

    What sets this tower defense game apart from many others is it forces the player to decide between offense and defense while also managing What sets this tower defense game apart from many others is it forces the player to decide between offense and defense while also managing resources to pay for those efforts. Not quite up to par with Pixel Junk Monsters, but a really engaging and fun game. Settings similar to Military Madness in look and sound (TG16) give a solid Sci-Fi feel to the game. The music is Tangerine Dream/Aria style. Points removed for occasional and worthless puzzle levels which detract from the general game. Points removed for scale being a tad too small (units could have been a little bigger).… Expand

    To me, the mechanics is extremely repetitive and boring per se. I felt no attraction whatsoever, so had to abandon it (which I seldom do with games). From my point of view, there are way better strategy games with a truly great atmosphere and a more attractive gameplay.    … Expand
