Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction

Moby ID: 7058
Windows Specs

Description official description

A simulation of the TV program 'Robot Wars' , where you can create virtual mechanical robots. These can be entered into a series of different competitions such as 'battle to destruction', 'capture the flag', 'mad bomber'.

The main arena battles have house robots which can be activated if any combatant robots enter 'corner patrol zones' which are supposed to be off limits. Again these house robots are modelled on the ones that appear in the TV programs.

Besides the UK arena, this initial launch has many new arenas including: North Sea Oilrig, Rooftops, Steel Works, Scrapyard, Dockyard and the Abandoned Military Base.

'Real robots' are in the game such as Chaos 2 and Razer and many more. With these you can recreate your favorite battles against your friend on the same machine.

It'll get boring after a bit if you aren't a real robot wars fan.

The Good
The graphics, the real robots

The Bad
The physics and damage wasn't realistic, a couple of bangs and your flipper falls off. If you flip someone they just g wobbling up in the air.

The Bottom Line
I suppose it could be fun for some, but it isn't very realistic, and it's a bit too easy to win the competitions.
