    This is definitely one of those games that you find yourself playing over and over and each time the fight will be totally different in more ways than one.

    While it's prettier than most budget titles, it also suffers from the vacancy that so often comes with nice looking people, dogs, or mechanical monsters. It looks great standing still, but give it a complicated task and it all goes to pieces.

    To clarify, it's your typical boy-meets-scrap-parts-that-will-eventually-become-a-killing-machine tale, minus any compelling death scenes or token nudity shots.

    The robot construction is simplistic in the extreme, the arenas are forgettable, and the actual combat is the epitome of boredom.

    Even at the low retail cost of $19.99, Robot Arena isn't worth it. You'd end up getting more entertainment if you randomly chose two movies at an over-priced movie theater.

    If you can read this review, you're too old to play Robot Arena. [July 2001, p.72]

    Pointless, worthless, lifeless, colorless, flavorless dregs from the very bottom of the gaming barrel. An idiotic, dull, awful, dreary waste of time and hard drive space.

    If you like inventing stuff this is fun. It is time consuming to build a robot but its fun. Online play is what would make this game amazing after youve played career mode a few times. It kinda stinks though unless you have some pretty hefty internet. Each individual part's info has to be sent. So if its 1 vs. 1 and you got 30 parts on your robot then its like a 30 vs. 30 online shooter. The only other thing that was annoying is that once you make the general shape you cant change it without taking out all the components and starting over again.… Full Review »

    This game is awsome! I think they could tune up the graphics, and make it more difficult, and make the weapon choises larger. I beat the game in awhoppin 15 minutes and 47 sec. So anyone that took an hour should get lessons big time.… Full Review »
