The Robots' world is about to be taken over by an evil tyrant and it is up to the player to save his fellow robots from a tragic destiny.

    A basic license game with no new ideas. As a traditional platformer Robots can be annoying and too difficult. [May 05]

    Jumping feels loose and overall control is a tad sluggish, though these issues rarely detract from gameplay. [May 2005, p.76]

    The monotony of item collecting will turn anyone off long before frustration over poor control sets in. [May 2005, p.96]

    My son aged 8 loved it and spent ours playing so I guess it depends on age group.

    The glaring flaw with reviews based on games aimed at kids, is that they are written by adult gamers who judge games with an entirely different set of values or criteria, often inapproriate or totally disregarding children's mindset. My son loves this game. He is 9 and has played lots of quality titled games, so he can tell good from bad. The graphics are superb. Sharp and detailed and display a nice degree of polish. The controls are responsive and easy to handle. The gameplay is roaming-platforming and nothing new but sometimes kids don't need a great deal of innovation. Often adults judge the quality of games to other titles in their genre, but children seldom do. My son is very happy with Robots which is good in my book, because I paid for it!

    Not that anyone expects a lot from a movie game, but Robots is just the bottom of the barrel in this case. P.S., let me remind you that I do not hate games that much. Pros: The graphics are as shiny as a squeaky clean robot. Cons: Nothing else in this game feels squeaky clean at all, it leaves your soul feeling dirty and even muddy.… Expand
