Review: Those of us old enough to expect Smash Hit to be a VR pop singing contest are going to be a little disappointed. This game is very much like the virtual reality version of Arkanoid (only moving along). With metal balls and loads of nice things to smash this is a game that can be a lot of fun as well as good for getting some frustration out!

It is one good looking and good sounding game. The noise of a big piece of glass breaking is very satisfying and while I did find the learning curve a little steep it was an awful lot of fun to play. One day in the no-so-distant future someone will blame this game for their child wanting to smash someone’s window. But for now, it’s a carefree game that does require a little bit of good aim and strategy. Sadly I have neither of those things.
