  1. With its catchy graphics and refreshing gameplay ideas, it turned my skepticism into a full-fledged, addictive gaming experience.

    Does the formula of giant robots and three-tiered combat succeed? Definitely. But there are a few quirks along the way to deal with, most notably the anemic unit pathfinding AI.
  3. It's what I like to call a concept game; Great ideas but the implementation is a little rough. With a little more polishing this could be an A-title.
  4. 71
    Just one more of the group of unremarkable strategy games on the market already.

    Metal Fatigue is the, in my eyes, best RTS ever. Sure, the graphics aren't that great - but the #1 rule for video games is still: gamplay > graphics. And gameplay is the thing that Metal Fatigue makes superior compared to other RTS-games. Expand
  2. One of my favorite games in childhood, and its really a remake worth, or a sequel. I love the way how you build your robots, fight with them and maybe shoot of the arm of another robot to pick it up for you own and continue the fight with it. Expand

    Best and most diverse RTS ever released. Can build own robots and let them fight. What more can we wish for?

    This is probably the only real time strategy game so far by 2006, which has AIs assembling mechanical bots (the large androids people think are Gundam Wing action figures). Intuitive and original... only thing missing... map editor. If you buy the game, know that the fights will be more reckless skirmishes than strategic manuvers like any other real time strategy games. The most fun I have gotten out of this game was probably just building a base with killer robots and make it look cool. You play in the skies, on the surface, and underground. Your robots also fly! Woosh. Sad to say, the giant androids are probably the only thing keeping this game alive. Expand
