AceGamez
RoboBlitz is one of the very best, if not the best Xbox Live Arcade release so far - and one of the few titles from the Arcade that's great enough to have stood on its own as a full commercial release.
Read Full Review >Game Chronicles
Easily one of the best XBLA games out there. Sure, it doesn’t have the staying power as the totally addictive (and online) UNO, or the intensity of mind-blowing visual shooters like Mutant Storm or Geometry Wars, but this is a great effort that uses a totally new 3D engine to create a unique world, creative and challenging puzzles, exciting boss fights, and a hero for a new generation.

No disrespect to "Frogger" and "Bejeweled", but Xbox Live Arcade needs more games like Roboblitz. Score one for the next-generation, Tin Man. [Jan. 2007, p.73]
Console Gameworld
It's unique, sports great visuals, and is a blast to play. With a free downloadable multiplayer component slated for release in the coming weeks, it's a good value, too.
Read Full Review >GamerNode
RoboBlitz is a quaint and easy puzzle game with some very nice visuals, and a very cheap price tag.
Read Full Review >G4 TV
Now if there were only an online multiplayer component to RoboBlitz, it would be almost perfect. Instead we’ll just play it over and over to get all the achievements.

With further add-ons and weapons to play around with, such as hover guns, tractor beams and point-to-point gravity pull, there's a lot of fun to be had. [Issue # 16, p.114]
Gaming Nexus
Think the Xbox Live Arcade is nothing more than arcade ports and 2D puzzle games? Think again, because RoboBlitz is here to show you exactly what is capable when you put your mind to it. With its ambitious game play and engaging puzzles RoboBlitz is an easy game to recommend, even with the higher than usual price point.

RoboBlitz may be a tad on the short side, but at around 15 bucks, the price of admission is perfect for the amount of fun you'll have with this game.
Read Full Review >Official Xbox Magazine UK
Despite some control issues, the game could have been a full retail game rather than a Live Arcade title; it's graphically superior to any xbox or PS2 game, it's not short and it features some innovative mechanics.

A gem in Live's already glittering crown. Roboblitz shows any potential Arcade developers that it's possible to pull off some amazing stuff within that 50MB limit. [Issue 20, p.69]
Xbox World Australia
It's truly a wonder that they managed to cram so much into the 50MB limit placed on Xbox Live Arcade games, and while it isn't something you'll come back to time and time again, RoboBlitz is a lot of fun while it lasts.
Read Full Review >GameZone
Considering the 50 MB limit posed by Microsoft on all Xbox Live Arcade games, RoboBlitz’s great Unreal Engine 3 powered graphics are made all the more extraordinary. If only the gameplay were up to the same snuff.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
Roboblitz is definitely not for the masses and the price tag will keep most of them at bay, but if you are a puzzle fan, you may want to dig into your points account as this original title brings plenty of brain for your buck.
Read Full Review >Gamers' Temple
A little more challenge to the puzzles and a little less emphasis on realism in the physics department would have helped make RoboBlitz a better game.
Read Full Review >Game Over Online
The presentation is fine, and RoboBlitz's sheer challenge factor will probably attract serious platformer fans. It's frustrating, though, and all the moreso when a seemingly simple task just refuses to work for no good reason.
Read Full Review >IGN
The main problem with RoboBlitz, even without the little hitches, is that the game isn't very exciting. The puzzles aren't terribly intricate or deep and the little enemies that are tossed at you feel a bit forced.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
RoboBlitz is easily the most ambitious game released for the Xbox Live Arcade so far, and it's an impressive 3D platformer in its own right.
Read Full Review >Xboxic
At its core, the game is founded on a terrific physics engine that makes for an enjoyable sci-fi puzzle-solving romp.
Read Full Review >Team Xbox
I found it to be a great-looking game that has some fun challenges—but more often than not ended up being unbalanced and frustrating.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
While not as essential as a title like Geometry Wars, Roboblitz can still be a charming and enjoyable experience, definitely setting new precedents for future Arcade releases. However at times it feels a little too much like an Unreal Engine 3 tech-demo than a game in its own right.
Read Full Review >GameShark
Part action game and part puzzle game. While it isn’t the best at either genre, it is a rather entertaining but short and expensive game. If the multiplayer and other content is released at no cost, I reserve the right to revise my feelings accordingly.

Coolioo G. gave it a9:
This game is soooo much fun!! I haven't seen a game this original in a long time! Check it out for yourself.
Richard Levin gave it a10:
I'm very impressed by the physical simulation! This game is also fun, but moreover extremely impressive.
Andyman gave it a3:
It's got an appealing visual style, and the gameplay shows potential... but if they'd spent even a minute refining the camera so it's not always right where you DON'T want it to be, they'd have a game worth buying (although probably not for 1200 points). As it is now, the camera makes the game virtually unplayable, and that's a shame because this could have been great fun.
