This game would hold little interest for a hardcore gamer or anyone with a serious interest in robotics. Multiplayer didn't work. The manual is clear but overlooks important points. The interface is clear and easy to navigate. Tinkering with different robot designs is fun for a short while.
Graphics are decent, but no more.
Combat is boring in the extreme. Robot construction is too simplistic. More recently, events and television shows like Robot Wars and Comedy Central's BattleBots have taken the basic concept and made it safe and palatable for the masses. Now, viewers watch little home-built robots bash and saw each other to bits in an enclosed arena. It's surprising that we haven't seen lots of PC games based on the subject.
