    Game had no depth and there was nothing addicitive about it, the ps1 could have run everything except the graphics, not a game I would spend my time with.

    This is by far the worst xbox game i have played 0 out of ten is generous controls rubbish graphics rubbish gameplay is a joke. It makes me want to vommit everytime i think about it let a lone play it. Comparing it to smash bros quality wise is like comparing gta to jumper the game highly insulting to smash bros those that like it dont know what your playing but it not this.DONT BUY

    Exactly what was expected, by far the best XBLA exclusive release. It's a total rip-off of Smash Bros for the Nintendo consoles, but that's not a bad thing at all. Great weapon variety and is continuing to hold my interest!

    More like Small Value. Maybe if the control was tighter, the gameplay more varied, and the levels more creative, it might be worth the 800 points. It's far closer to a 400-point game as it is now.

    Seriously, what type of fighting game does not have a block button. Infact I dont think this game has any defensive moves. Just a mindless button mash. This game is utter crap. Its nothing more than a piss poor smash brothers ripoff sans any of the elements that made smash bros fun. The characters are stupid. The weapons are extremely unbalanced, which in turn makes the characters unbalanced since each one starts with its own unique gun, and much too difficult to pick up. The controls feel sluggish or just completely unresponsive (you will suicide so often it will make you want actually kill yourself). The camera is terrible, get used to not being able to see your character onscreen. The levels are bland. The AI in singleplayer is ridiculously cheap. This is just an all around bad game.… Expand

    This is the best xbox arcade game out there. It is just like super smash bros! Its controls are the only thing that is bad about the game. If you like samsh bros get this game!

    The product is better than most other offerings in the Arcade areas, and most of you won't regret spending money on this. However, with it being a fully focused multiplayer game, the single player feels rushed and unloved, offering you nothing to go back to.

    With its focus on weapon grabbing over weapon firing, Small Arms' shallow gameplay falls flat.

    The action is hectic, the online play is a blast, and the visuals are good enough that you won't forget you're playing on a powerful console.
