If you're looking for a cheap but good PSN-title, this is a nice game to spend your money on. Especially if you love to recycle trash.
-
This is one of those puzzle games you'll play solid for three or four days, rashly declare as being the "Best Puzzle Game Ever" (your friends, wisely, will say that you should wait for a few weeks), but then leave to fester on your PS3's hard drive for some months before you can be bothered to visit it again.

Trash Panic is typical Japanese. It has a weird but touching style, a difficulty level that will make you break your controller in half and has the same addiction level of the hardest of hard drugs.
-
In the end, it satisfies the basic philosophy of a puzzle game, but swing the pendulum far more toward the challenging end of the spectrum rather than being something that anyone can grasp as a whole right from the start.
-
For only $5, Trash Panic offers enough oddness and appeal to give you a few good hours of explosive fun, but don’t expect them to be easy.
-
Tetris and garbage. The DNA of this production is pretty defined, cheap price. What else?

Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaMaddening at times this rock-hard puzzler demands a ton of practice to reach perfection. [July 2009, p.89]
-
If you like a challenge and your games with a large portion of character, then this is definitely worth a punt.
-
If you can look past the sometimes game-killing bugs, there is a good puzzler here. For the rest it is sadly not worth the effort.
-
About half of the time I’m playing the game, I’m having a good time, and the other half I’m darkly brooding about stringing up each of the game’s developers by their big toes and slapping them repeatedly in the faces with a giant mackerel. [JPN Import]
-
The concept is funny and it even works well when is not taken to the extreme. The problem is that even if you enjoy the idea, Trash Panic will soon start pushing you back by requiring too much perfectionism.
-
In many ways, Trash Panic represents the kind of inventive, inimitable Japanese release that comes all too infrequently – but here, such creativity has not been enough to turn an interesting idea into a brilliant one.
-
The idea is great, but the implementation doesn’t do it justice. As a puzzle game Trash Panic is great though, but it quickly becomes tedious, mostly because of a steep difficulty and a buggy havoc engine. It’s recommended only for sadists.
-
More trash than treasure.

Jan 19, 2013Trash Panic is very silly and very fun. Worth a purchase or at least a look. Good old arcade madness.
