    If you have the high amount of mental enegry this game is a pice of cake but still fun. i hope that every one gets this this game so i can actually battel people in the real world and have tournaments. If you like megaman you'l like this game because you ge t to do all the nitty gritty work you couldn't do in any of the battle network series like cleaning or customizing.

    Great game, i loved it, the only problem is that it takes forever to make money to buy new parts. I hope that they will make another one for the ds, and make cash easyer to get!

    The 3D battles are amazing and worth the price of the game alone. I don't normally write reviews/comments, but with the 7/10 scoring CRA is getting I just wanted to say that this game is a lot of fun and you shouldn't miss out on the fun. Hopefully I'll see you on the wifi.

    While this game lacks a driving storyline, it makes up for it with fantastic gameplay.

    Great game! Lots of replay. Good Wifi following - you'll get an opponent most of the time. Get those parts in the single player game and be ready for endless combinations of robos to battle.

    I've never voted before but there is no way this game can be overlooked! I've played most of the DS titles that are on the top ten here and cannot understand how a little repetitive RPG element can ruin this addicting game! Custom Robo is the type of game you can never get tired of.

    This game is fantastic, it has awesome gameplay, a ton of customisation and a long story.
    the wain selling point of this game howoever is the characters, as Liz is mai waifu.
    And she'll probably become yours too. It's a shame Dennis is the worst character ever thought up in any game ever.
    all in all, LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ I    S MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU LIZ IS MAI WAIFU… Collapse

    In English it reveals a lack of depth and some seriously irritating niggles. A real shame. [June 2007, p.50]

    Exciting action and great multiplayer make Custom Robo Arena a game well worth playing.

    The Nintendo DS version of Custom Robo won't raise the franchise up to a "must have" status in the Nintendo library of first-party titles, but apart from the boring RPG story it's not such a bad diversion.
