    This game is nothing short of an underrated gem. It beautifully combines elements of RTS games with TD games. It is simple, easy to learn, and the co-op is extremely fun and works well.

    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 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.

Points removed for scale being a tad too small (units could have been a little bigger).… Expand

    Simply a good game with GREAT gameplay that really engages the mind. Its true that the offensive element added to the game adds a lot more depth than you might think. At first its a tower defence game but suddenly you realise that defence won't win you the game so you begin building your army in earnest whilst hoping your defences hold...

    The good: 4 player couch co-op!!! Good tower defense, a lot of depth in some levels.
    The bad: too many stupid levels where you have to do one thing very fast, some levels can be annoying. Game can get repetitive.

    I love comet crash, one of my favorite games. It is missing online multiplayer but I rate it a 10 because it is amazing and ita graphics are great. I Would not call it a tower defence because tower defense reminds me of one of those crappy flash games on a computer. Even if You don't like tower defense you will like this.

    Maybe I am being unfair with this game because it is probably the strategy genre that I do not like particularly, but still the truth is that I did not enjoy Comet Crash at all, could not even finish it.

    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).

    Definitely one of the best tower-defence games out there.

    There's something to be said for iterating on an already proven idea. That's precisely what Pelsoft has done with their take on tower defense, and as a result it plays unlike anything else on the PS3 -- or elsewhere for that matter.

    Comet Crash's biggest draw is just that you can finally fight back. It's a much more significant addition than would be obvious at first glance, and the fact that both offense and defense can be juggled at once with minimal headaches speaks volumes about Pelfast's ability to strike a balance between the ebb and flow of combat and defense.
