Rating Description
out of 10
8.0 Presentation
Very simple but wholly effective in terms of both the interface and story.
8.0 Graphics
The art style isn't incredibly inspired, but it works very well. The fluid dynamics really take the cake here.
9.0 Sound
Fantastic soundtrack fills out most of the audio spectrum with simple but appropriate sound effects for everything else.
9.0 Gameplay
Great controls and fantastic level design. It's the awesome use of the environmental bits, like water, lava and ice, that makes PJ Shooter stand out.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
It's not the longest game ever made, but you'll want to go collect everything because it's so fun.
9.1
Outstanding		 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Awesome, been hyped for this for a while now.  Just wish they had chosen a better name.

I realize that the final score isn't an average, but I think it's dumb that the game's final score is higher than the score given in any individual section.

I've been sold on Shooter for a while now (I love the fluid physics), but it's nice to see a good review.

The gameplay is probably the most important aspect of the game.

And it got a 9.0 in Gameplay...

Would have bought regardless of score. Maybe this review will get some indecisive folk off the fence though.

Well I guess it's just a very fun game.

Yeah, that score doesn't make any sense. A damn mystery.

Anyway, this is great. If it's really the best PixelJunk yet, I'll have to pick it up later.

I only wish it were 4 players!
