How Metascores Are Calculated

[Xbox Live Arcade] In 2084, man creates a species of super-advanced cyborgs known as Robotrons. Recognizing the imperfect nature of their creators, the Robotrons conclude that the inefficient human race must be exterminated. In Robotron: 2084, only you and a single family of clones remain. If mankind is to survive, you must destroy the Grunts, Brains, Enforcers, and Tanks - but avoid the indestructible Hulks at all cost. Can you withstand wave after wave of android invasion and rescue Mommy, Daddy, and Mikey... before it's too late? [Xbox.com]

There’s plenty of nostalgic, and newly added, fun to be had in Robotron: 2084. Both those who have played the original to death and those who have never blasted their way through the game will have tons of fun with the added multiplayer features.

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.

GameSpot
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.

Xbox Evolved
The price is right, and the game is a fantastic history lesson in shooters.

WHAM! Gaming
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.

Games Radar
The smooth-playing analog joysticks of the 360 controller lack the snappy response of the original arcade sticks; the result is a mushy feel that will mess with your sense of timing.

The same retro person, crying in the corner, wishing it was more popular and that more people would talk to it. [Issue#5, p.120]

AceGamez
Robotron 2084 is true to the original and many regard that as one of the best games ever made - but with most other retro games offering some sort of overhauled main mode and the classic alongside it, recommending this is hard for players who simply want more then a port.

Sometimes your laster aiming can be a bit wayward but with practice you'll be carving through those killer robots like a knife through hot butter. [Issue #16, p.78]

Great in very short bursts and that’s about it.

Extreme Gamer
Robotron has to be the weakest link in the line up of Midway games for Xbox Live Arcade. Simply because of Midways Smash TV which is a superior game that is more fun.

Official Xbox Magazine
Stick with "Smash Tv" for similiar action with more thrills and better co-op play. [Jun 2006, p.64]
