1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst Game I've Ever Wasted Time On, March 15, 2005

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Robots (Video Game)

I don't understand how Vivendi Universal could turn out such swill for a piece of hardware such as the DS that offers so much.

The DS has wireless capabilities, a microphone for things like voice and sound recognition, a normal screen and a touch screen. So, what do we get out of a Robot's DS game? A nearly exact port of the GBA version of the game. This wouldn't be so bad if the GBA version also wasn't such a mediocre version, but it is. Here's the run down on the DS version:

Graphics: poor. might have been ok for SNES, but doesn't cut in on a brand new platform.

Sound: Equally poor. Repetetive and anooying.

Gameplay: Boring at best, frustrating at worst. The game is slow, story thin, enemies few and far between, and the physics engine is horrid. You'll spend more time walking from one place to another, doing nothing, than you will doing anything else.

Positive aspects: The only halfway decent thing to note is the robot transport system, when you control a ball speeding through the robot city. Control is poor, the feature is repetitive, but it is the only thing to even hint at what the game could actually have been like.

I know the lack of DS games may be frustrating, but don't get this just to have another game. Wait a few more weeks and there will be some good ones coming.

Robots is pretty much a port of the GBA game but with a few added features to utilize the touchpad. The graphics are pretty decent on the DS, but the gameplay and replay value could use a little help. I suggest you rent the game or try it out before you buy. It's great for the kids, but for the average adult, you may want to look elsewhere. Try WarioWare Touched! It's a game with great replay value!

The games graphics are pretty good, but there is almost no use of the touch screen exept building weapons. Sometimes its also a little frustrating. But the transit system feature is very fun.
