Custom Robo Arena for DS is an action-packed fighting game that features incredibly powerful robots that are armed to the teeth and the fighting is one-on-one.
Custom Robo Arena features fully customized robots, fighting to the finish in Holosseums, which are holographic arenas. These arenas are small, almost claustrophobic, but they serve to maximize the intensity of the battle while making you focus on your shooting, dodging and strategic abilities.
There are more than 100 different parts that you can customize your robot with. You can add legs, armor, guns, bombs, pods, rockets, and a ton of other extras. There is virtually no limit to the various configurations that you can create. Up to four variations can be stored and accessed to give you a lot of fighting flexibility. The gameplay doesn't vary from the battling scenario, but it's so easy and fun to play that it becomes addictive i have had many hours of fun game play with this game. I have found the gameplay can be a little too easy, at least in the single-player mode. Once you get the strategy down in terms of what weapons to use against different robot combos, and in what order, the game becomes easy.
Ammo is unlimited, although you have to reload after each volley of projectiles. Each robot can have up to three weapons at a time. they consist of various guns, such as flank guns and explosives such as bombs and missiles. When the single-player mode gets to be a little too easy, that's when the multiplayer component brings the game to a higher level of gamplay quality.
the sotry line i found to be shallow, but humorous that the desighner has made to try and motivate you through the entire single-player mode. It centers on a young boy that is given his first robo as a gift, and entertains the notion of becoming the best robo commander that ever lived. In this world normal people own robos as a way of life . These devices are used as avatars, and put into battle for sport or to settle serious disagreements. Starting at the bottom, you will work your way up through various tournaments as you earn money for more parts and rise up through the ranks. The story has some RPG-like elements to it. You have to do is show up at the breakfast and dinner table with your folks and talk about your day. i found this very boaring and tiring.
Robo parts can be acquired as gifts, unlocked, or purchased with money that you earn for taking down your opponent. Each player begins with a certain amount of hit points, and the first one to be depleted loses. Fortunately, you can replay matches until you win them. Barring that, you can even have your opponent's hit points reduced at the outset of the game to give you a superior advantage.
Online gameplay is an entirely different story. The challenge has changed. You're not fighting programmed A.I., you're fighting against other human avatar controllers (gamers). The challenge is as hard as your opponent is skilled. There are three different ways to access the multiplayer modes: game share, ad hoc, and online via the Wi Fi service. The game share only requires one copy of the game, but the options are severely reduced, including the number of customizable parts that are available. The online mode is the way to go. You can play against random opponents or friends by using a friend code. New opponents can be added to your rival list for grudge matches. All online matches last three minutes each and are a best-of-three series. Voice chat is available for you and your buddies. Commands are very responsive with no delays or slowdown.
This game has a colorful, cartoon world. The environments are in 3D, and while not very well detailed, it's easy enough to make out objects and paths. Even though the robos lose some of their detail during the matches, the environment is always easy to see and navigate. The controls are very easy to use and make no real special effort to exploit the DS' capabilities such as touch screen.
There are lots of good reasons to own Custom Robo Arena, such as the various single and multiplayer modes, the customization features, fast-paced action, and the extroudinary gameplay. Its a must for any robot gaming fan or high action gamer.
My offitial ratings are as followed 9.5/10 *****Star gaming experience
