Smash TV is another Digital Eclipse port of a classic arcade game. It's a top-down shooter similar to Robotron, using the analog sticks to move and fire. The game itself is designed along the lines of The Running Man (no, not the movie - the story was mangled pretty heavily for that), where you're in a game show where the idea is kill or be killed.
There really isn't much to say about this one. It's true to the original, or at least to the other ports I've played. Some achievements are purely skill-related, which is nice to see but means I probably won't get them (I'm not very good at this game), and there are only a couple that involve Live play, both for co-op mode.
If you're into classic games, I'd recommend picking this up. It's not spectacular, but it fits the bill. If you aren't, you'll probably want to look for other games. There isn't much to recommend this to a new gamer.
zlionsfan's rating for classic gamers: 5 TVs out of 10.
