    Few games are as frustrating as Robotron; I don't know what it is. It's nice to have Achievements and a leaderboard to go with it, but the play is so archaic. The one thing that made it stand out -- moving with one stick, shooting with the other -- is usurped by several other Live Arcade games like Geo Wars and Mutant Storm. Either of them is a better choice than this.

    This is such a classic awesome game. The 360 version is a nice port of the original. The joysticks on the arcade are better than the analogue sticks but it's fine. The game can be frantic and over quickly so to get the most out of it play Robotron in short bursts.

    If you were obsessed with the original, you'll be just as obsessed with this one, though playing with controller sticks isn't quite the same as using the arcade joysticks.
  2. Another uber-retro game from the heyday of coin-op fun, this game actually holds up fairly well despite it's very old-school graphics and sound.
  3. Robotron is one of the games that have fared pretty well in these collections, but with the scoreboards and online competition that the Xbox 360 version of the game provides, this Xbox Live Arcade download is at least as good as the original arcade hit.
