QuoteShattered Horizon is a multiplayer first-person shooter where players fight in zero gravity surrounded by the broken remains of Earth's orbital infrastructure and billions of tons of rocky debris thrown into orbit by a huge explosion on the Moon.
In Shattered Horizon, players have complete freedom of movement. They can make full use of the space setting and zero gravity to set up tactics and strategies that would be impossible in games constrained by gravity.
The game's designer states that without gravity players will experience gameplay that is both familiar to fans of the FPS style and yet different from any game they've played before.
QuoteShattered Horizon is set 40 years from now. Man is back on the Moon and the companies that took him there are reaping huge profits. Their greed soon leads to the largest mining accident in history. A catastrophic explosion throws billions of tons of rocky debris into near-Earth space, its aftershocks threatening to tear apart the Moon itself.
Fragments of the Moon settle around the Earth and become known as the Arc, named after the dramatic shape they draw across the night sky. With Earth surrounded by debris there's little chance of rescue or return for the thousands of people stranded in space.
The International Space Agency's (ISA) astronauts and scientists trapped in the battered International Space Station are given the task of apprehending those responsible for the catastrophe. Weapons are among the last supplies sent to the station before the supply route from Earth is cut. The Moon Mining Cooperative (MMC) finds itself facing serious charges after only barely surviving the cataclysm. Cut off from Earth, they see the ISA as a threat to their very existence.
The two sides are drawn into an armed conflict. Desperate battles are fought over strategic locations and the scant supplies from Earth that make it through the shroud of debris. Control of the Arc now means the difference between survival and death in the cold of space.

I've played it and it's damn fun, if you have vista or Windows 7 you should consider buying this
Yeah looks funny but also looks in a way Complicated
Looks awesome in terms of gameplay.
Don't know too much about how it plays though. Other then that it looks 'pretty' so hopefully it isn't too spiff up graphics wise and worries about gameplay elements a bit more then most new games.
Gameplay is really fun and there's alot of players but it can get a little boring if you play it for too much.
It's not too expensive anyways so yeah I suggest trying it out.
it's directx10 only
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

Yeah I have to play on my Dad's PC until I get windows 7
Looks like Crysis in space.
Really amazing looking game, can't wait to play it.
Looks pretty Decent, I want play it if I get the chance.
It isnt worth it, only a handful of maps, one gun... It gets boring too fast, after youve been shot once there is no chance of surviving. Gameplay is like an ordinary FPS, the Zero gravity has an OK feeling to it but tends to get annoying, you often find yourself spinning around looking for who is shooting you.
Its not worth the 20 bucks, but since its cheap i guess you go ahead and purchase a copy if your looking for some cheap thrills.
Meh, depends what your taste is. I like it.
