Customizing stuff is, in general, a good thing for a video game. Whether it's just choosing armor in a standard RPG, or creating a character from scratch like in some wrestling games, it allows the player to be creative. In this game, creativity is used to blow stuff up. You can pick one of 34 robot types, then arm it with THREE weapons (the pod launches out of a backpack type thing). And shoes. Sure, there aren't that many types of shoes, but there are plenty of weapons. With tons of parts in each catagory (Body, guns, bombs, attack pods, and legs (shoes)), anyone can make their own unique gundam-esque warrior. My robot is a Splendor armed with an afterburner gun, geo trap bombs, and wall pods. Shoes? Ultimate type, if allowed. The AI makes it as fun in single player mode as it is in multiplayer. I would pay fifty dollars for this game. Well, no I wouldn't. I already have a copy.
P.S.
You may be interested in this game because of the cool preview you saw in Gamestop or wherever. This preview can be watched at any time if you buy this game, because it's the intro!

This is a really good game to get. The story line is boring at the begining but once you first hear about Rahu it gets much more interesting. There are two chapters in the story mode, the first one is a traditional story and the second one is a bunch of tourments to get the rest of the parts in the game. I wished the story was longer and it only took me 1 week to unlock all the parts and modes in the game. It also has a great multiplayer mode. It is a must own if you like to customize everything and like robots.

This game is even better than I expected it to be. It was underrated by video game magazines, probably because it's kind of "old school". What I mean is that there are no voice actors, all the characters speak only in message boxes with pictures of their faces beside them showing various expressions; just like in Grandia. I think that's actually fun! Grandia (the first one) would have been better with no voice actors because the voices were bad!

In this game, you can customize your fighter from the body armor type to the sorts of weapons and legs, each giving you different abilities based on how you like to fight. I'll admit that I really got addicted to that sort of customization ever since Final Fantasy Tactics.

The story of this game impressed me too. All the characters are really fun, including the NPCs, and there's some great manga/anime style humor all throughout the game. The only thing that would have made the game better is if it were a little longer and the story were not as linear; but I could say the same thing about MOST RPGs!

I highly recommend Custom Robo!

Loved this game so much it has great graphics and is very addicting to play! the sound effect were awesome i liked that you could choose from so many parts so u could make your own robo the storyline is a little hard to follow but trust me onece u get tis game u will be hooked!i'm looking forward to a sequel

Custom robo is a great game, and is well worth getting!
The graphics are good, and the idea is good but there are flaws.
Though there are 200+ parts and 3500+ combos of robots you have to go unlock the parts in the short and rather boring story mode. The story is simple, your a teen and you are going to become a custom robo commander in the will of your father. to advance you beat a bad guy, talk to the peoson who rewards you for beating the guy, get the part, and go to sleep, and wake up the next day to do the same thing over and over again. Once you do beat the story mode and get the parts, you get to the good part, the battles, use the bodies, guns, bombs, jetpack, leg boosters, to make a robot you like. Battle itself looks simple at first, but looks can be deceving. you must use the stadium offencively and defenceively, some weopans are stronger, others faster, knock enemie robots down, or evenfloat above them and strike when the enemie is still. The stadiums are good and move around at times, some of them go up and down, many have hazards, some even are as creative and a play room with a choo choo train.

P.s. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!!

I rented this game first. I did not know what to think. It was good, but not good. The story mode is kind of cheesy and the battles keep going and going. But, it does give you the opportunity to learn the weapons and get some experience in the holloseums. I found the game later brand new for $14.99 at Wal-Mart. I quickly snagged copy and have been going at it ever since. Once you get through the story mode, it gets even better. You can dish it out with your friends in the multiplayer with up to 4 players at once in the holloseum. The arcade mode is old school. If you like the Armored Core Series, then get this. It is actually better in my opinion and easier. I can't wait to play Custom Robo Arena on the DS!

Get this game it is worth the time, the plot thickens with every battle and the enemies get more challenging every day, the graphics is so good, the battles may be in small areas and you may look tiny but the detail in the parts is great and the multi-player system is annoying untill you get some new parts but the overall idea that you can build a robot that fights other robots with all these incredible parts is supurb over all the best game I have

GRAPHICS: 10/10
PLOT: 9.5/10
FUN YOU'LL HAVE PLAYING THIS: 100/10

so get this game!!!!!

4 STARS.Well I don't have much time to wright but this game is alright.You can customize your robot's and upgrade them.I played the demo at Target.But one thing that messes me up are the controls.It's hard to manouiver your characters.But graphic's and fighting are excellent.The camera angle's get annoying sometimes.The battle's are viewed from a bird's eye view which is actually preatty annoying.Your enemy dosen't seem to have much A.I because all they have to do is blast at you until your dead and hope not to be hit.But beside's that it's a preatty good shooting combat game.Gotta go!!!
