Product Description

Product Description
Custom Robo Arena takes place in the not-too-distant future, mankind relies on tiny, telepathically controlled robots to perform dangerous tasks. Deep-sea research, disaster relief and interplanetary exploration are all done by Robos -- popular and easily customized machines. Robos also form the favorite sport of tomorrow: battling in the holographic arenas called "holosseums." Now that criminals have taken to using these mighty miniature machines as weapons, the Custom Robo phenomenon has grown into a problem for the whole of society. Competitors battle customized robot warriors in holographic battle arenas. Victory is determined not only by fighting skill but also by how well Robo Commanders design their robot gladiators, so players need both brawn and brains to survive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, March 26, 2007

By	Eric M. Lee (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game is all about battles, and the battles are a blast. The RPG elements and story are simple yet fun. They don't require a lot of time and energy but can add a lot to the strategy if you want. If you're looking for a deep RPG this isn't for you. But if you want to play around with a ton of different weapons/parts/arenas and test your skills online real-time Custom Robo can't be beat. These battles are not turn-based, so Pokemon fans may be dissappointed but if you want fast paced action you're in for a treat. Custom Robo's battles are intense and strategy is key. He/She with the fastest reflexes will not always win, which is great for me because I'm coming up on 30. They story is a little childish but leads you well into a lot of battles, which is what you want anyway. Being a parent, I like this title because the violence is restrained to Robots battling, no people die.

Take it from a +20 year gaming vet, you will have great fun with Custom Robo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Robo bashing fun with an RPG undertone, July 16, 2007

By	P. Webb "apocrypha" (Bozeman, MT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

As far as gameplay goes the robo battles are a blast, controls are precise (depending on your bot) and the graphics are some of the better on the DS yet. The game goes into molasses mode though when as a kid ala The Pokemon games you wander around school, your town etc.. this is where you start battles get parts for your bot etc... It is a cool RPGish system once you get into, but the kiddy feeling is inescapable. Cool game just slows way down when you aren't battling.
Recommended for customization, robo fans with a high tolerance for dialogue and map wandering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Fun game with no blood!!, May 1, 2007

By	Psycho Doggy "Love Dog & Peace" (SF, USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this game because it reminds me the game I used to play in an arcade and it's a right choice i made. I'm not a big fan of RPG game I mean I can go on with some little RPG but when it comes to fighting I'd love to do it myself not only choose a technique and lets the cpu do the fighting.

With this game it's really satified me because it's a RPG base so you will walk around to talk with people to do the task or to progress to another quest but when you have to fight you will be the one who do it.

Another fun thing in this game is you can buy a part and build your own unique robot and you can also test drive the part before purchasing it. It's very fun for me to test drive the part to see which one would work well for me. I spent like almost an hour at the first time i played this game on testing the part in the shop.

One more cute thing I like about this game is you have a very good family and friend who always support and cheer you up. Everyday in the morning (before you go to school in the game) and at night (after you finish the quest), you have to sit in the dinning room and talk to your family and they will give you some compliments, ask about your day and show how much they care about you.

This is not a super difficult game at all that you need to spend lots of time to figure it out but you still need to have a good strategy to win against each robot since they all have their own unique style of fighting.

so, this game is an RPG that you will walk around to do the quest but when it comes to fight you will do it own your own. No blood, No killing and no bad word. Awesome!
